Albergue de Fromista

I went here after reading about Carmen being so helpful. I was exhausted after a long day and she was great

Carmen was wonderfully pleasant dealing with all pilgrims as she opened to a large crowd. Yes it’s a little overcrowded and a little short on toilets/showers but the living room and gardens are lovely.

€15 for bed and €1.5 for sheets. €5 if you prefer machine does the laundry job for you. A tad pricey compared to other albergues but not complaining.

Nice terrace with plenty of clothesline. Kitchen equipped with only microwave. Spacious dining area. Carmen was friendly.

Carmen was efficient and wonderful at check in. Beds comfortable! We brought our own sleeping bag liner and pillow covers so didn’t need to buy hers. Showers hot and clean. Doors slam but only because fresh cool breeze coming in the windows. Simply close door entirely or prop open with a shoe and we didn’t have a problem. Great area to do laundry by hand and dried quickly in afternoon sun. Loved the garden sitting area! Peaceful nights sleep. Would stay again. Here with my husband and adult daughter.

I approached this place with trepidation due to the reviews. Can I say when Carmen unlocked the front gate I was overjoyed with the large courtyard full of colour with flowers, lots of seats, sun lounges and clothes lines. The outdoor kitchen was a bonus for the municipal with microwave plates, cutlery, sink and water. Inside was more tables chairs and books.The showers were hot the beds comfortable and the view outside my dorm was lovely. Honestly if you are kind and polite Carmen is lovely. The only criticism is charging 1.50 euros for paper sheet and pillow case. I declined and used my sleeping bag liner. It is a municipal albergue so perhaps some could be more accepting of how things are financially.

as much as possible - stay elsewhere

price is now 15€ - too much for what she is offering.
albergue very crowded with minimal facilities.. barely enough toilet paper.

First, it cost €15 not €12 as on WhatsApp.
Door to gents toilet sticks allowing women to see the gents urinals.
Constant sound of banging doors caused by draughts from open windows.
The lights iin the gents bathroom don't work.
I wish that I had gone to one of the towns private albergues.

There are only two women’s toilets for two floors. Currently (9 June) there are over 30 women staying. Also overpriced at €14 for a municipal.

Very dirty showers and toilets not enough for the among of people staying there. We were in a very small room with 8 people and two power outlets it was not good. Very unpleasant experience try not to stay here if you can avoid it.

Very nice lady running the place. She was left with several empty beds because people who made reservations did not show up and others without a reservation were turned away. We had good warm showers and comfy beds. Not a full kitchen but there’s a supermarket down the block. We bought microwave meals and had our food. There is also several restaurants close by. Good resting place.

We made a reservation over Whatsapp and confirmed it again only to arrive with the people in from of us getting beds (they didn't have reservations) and then telling us and many others that they are full. About 20 people ended up with nowhere to go on holiday weekend so they put us all on the floor of municipal building. We were mad about our reservations not being honored but glad that they offered some solution. We ended up taking a taxi to paredes de Nava and staying in a hostel there instead but there were no beds available anywhere that day it was really bad.

$14 Euros to stay and breakfast is $3.50.

I stayed here for 12 Euros on August 5th

Just fell for this. Would avoid! It's 10.50. Hard rubber mattress. No sheets.(Paper thin covers provided). Small showers. Unfriendly service. Just there to collect our money.

It is 10.50 NOT 8 and a rip off. Plus the woman is very rude.

Please, for your sake, think twice before subjecting yourself to an unpleasant experience.
