Huge potential

Albergue is under new ownership and I'd expect to see some great improvements for 2026. Kind host who's a former pilgrim. As is - perfect distance into Santiago and has tasty evening food options. Can confirm the beer is EUR2.50. Currently lacks kitchen / communal space and feels a little cold

Not a great place

Beautiful location, a building with a potential but... dirty bathroom, the house felt wet and cold. Overpriced for what you get (paid €20, no food included; you could get something to eat there, not the best quality, I could only smell frying oil).

Not a bad stay! ….Late comment

We are back in the States recounting our stays in various albergues along the Portuguese.

Stayed here with my husband in mid June 2023.
Beds were adequate, met other lovely pilgrims.

Arrived early and had a cool shower. Didn’t realize the water heater would be turned on later in the afternoon.
Had a HOT shower before bed. Make sure you inquire about this.

Read previous comment concerning frozen pizzas before our initial arrival.
Who orders pre made pizza on a Camino?!? Pick the tortilla if no other option!
We enjoyed the pilgrim dinner of fish, potatoes, and salad.

IIt was ok

The lady who ran it was lovely and the convenience of the bar downstairs was great. The beds were ok but it was very hot that night so it was hard to sleep.

Wish we had gone to the municipal

We stayed here because the price said it included dinner and breakfast. Dinner was a choice of frozen pizza or tortilla. When I went down at 7:40 to look at breakfast everything was locked and no one was there.

The beds we’re comfortable and not people but the bathrooms smelled. Overall just a disappointment.

Great place - perfect stop before Santiago

Very nice people - good bunkbeds and not overcrouded per room.
Very good value for money - and nice facilities.
Book it😎

Schlechteste Herberge auf meinen Weg

Pretty average

Nice welcome, €15 cost, which essentially just gets you a bed for the night. Sheets are provided but not towels. The bathrooms have a shower and toilet in each one and there are 2 for each floor - 18-20 pilgrims at a time - which is very difficult if there is someone in the shower or when you all wake up at once needing the loo in the morning! There are no doors on the rooms so if you have a noisy dorm next door, everyone suffers. Prices in the bar are quite high. There is a restaurant 700m away (near the municipal albergue). Wish we’d stayed at the municipal albergue.

We received a lovely welcome, super clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the old building and peaceful garden.

Cold, damp place with

Cold, damp place with overpriced and not great food. Best thing is the buzz of being with other pilgrims in the last stage and terrace area in the sun.

Lits au 3e étage, bien lorsqu’on veut couper une longue étape en deux, mais pas d’épicerie, surtout pour repos, employé parle espagnol très peu anglais alors ils utilisent Google translate, menu du jour sur place, la bière la plus chère du camino 3,50 euros
