BEDBUGS

There were live bed bugs in my bed and they refused to refund our night. Stay literally anywhere else.

Run!

There was hair on the sheets and signs of bedbugs on the beds. We left! The place on the hill is cheaper and clean.

Comfortable, basic stay

The person who greeted me and checked me in on a Saturday was helpful. She told me where to find food and where to find a Vigil Mass.

The cotton sheets were clean and pressed. The mattress was enclosed in a plastic covering. There were no bed bugs.

The bathroom was very clean.

Good location near Plaza Mayor.

I was grateful for a good night's rest in a clean space. 🙏

Avoid! There’s bed bugs!

I found a bed bug on my bed. Another person in my room also found one. We told the woman in charge and at first she was understanding but when we ultimately decided to leave she was very rude and only refunded us 5 euros of the 12 we paid. She said becuase we used the showers but I hadn’t even used anything. She tried to blame us for bringing the bed bugs and then called the new place we were going to and told the owner not to accept us because we had bed bugs. Luckily he ignored her. Later she kicked out other people who brought up the fact that there were bed bugs. Totally unprofessional!

Nice room

I decided at the last moment to have a private room, it was lovely, I was able to have a hot bath, delightful. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable.

Lovely Clean, spacious room.

The hospitalera is lovely.

lots of bed bug. And they don’t admit

This accommodation was very bad, I already found bed bugs in the afternoon but the receptionist denied they had bed bugs. At night I found more bed bugs. Based on reviews from other guests, they have bed bugs all the time.

15. April 2024 - 23:07

Still MANY bed bugs

Every bed in our dorm had bed bugs, they were so bad that I had to leave in the middle of the night with no where to stay

Bed Bugs in San Nicolas Real - April ‘24

I stayed in an individual room and saw the bed bug and killed it. I am now covered in bites, including my face. I have let them know….

BED BUGS

Stayed here because of reviews! The pics are definitely nicer than what it looks like. Also be aware of BED BUGS! Woke up with bites all over my neck, shoulders, and back region!

No kitchen anymore

This is a fun albergue if you like to stay in old historic places. This is my second time staying here. I was looking forward to having a kitchen but apparently the roof fell in on it.

20. June 2023 - 12:06

Not open at 11

Definitely not open at 11. Very confusing entrance…

Lovely Place

I liked the charm of the converted monastery. Great location and the room had all I needed.

Staff is over worked like every other place along the Camino. Overall a great experience

Unique Stay

It was neat being able to stay in a converted monastery. Not ver many amenities. The wifi didn't work in our room and the beds were pretty squeaky. They did have a washer and dryer, though. And it's pretty much the only albergue that is centrally located in town.

We stayed in a private double

We stayed in a private double room in the hostel side of the building. It was spacious and comfortable but we were most pleased with how quiet the room was . The restaurant served a lovely pilgrim menu

I stayed here and paid 30

I stayed here and paid 30 euros for a private room with a bathroom. It had 3 other single beds but I was alone. Space was good as was the bathroom and shower. building feels underutilized. could be very nice with critical mass being there, but maybe the draw of the main plaza is such that folks don’t hangout here, but go to the plaza. This place is about a half block from the main plaza.

I hadn’t read the previous

I hadn’t read the previous review - finding the entrance round the back was tricky - helped by fellow pilgrim- nice welcome - single beds and yes shower impossible but arrived early and put my stuff on the window sill - plain glass overlooking town and gardens so covered most embarrassment with a smile and speed! Kitchen practical- washing ok and beautiful location of line. No WiFi except in front bar - long way away!

Single beds, not bunks.

Single beds, not bunks. Showers are impossible, no privacy whatsoever. Very few women were brave enough to try. But the men had no problem, some seemed to enjoy parading around in front of the women in their underpants. Very uncomfortable experience.
