Bedbugs found here during stay on June 22, 2026. Best to avoid.

There is no set price. Gronze still says there is a fridge but there's not. Separate toilets and showers for men and women.

YOU GIVE YOUR WILL. Average 10 €.

The sign hasn’t been updated, it was a municipal but they decided to turn it over to hosvol so someone else could run it. Donation based cost. No evening meal but a simple breakfast.

No bedbugs. Super clean. 2 beds per room, if not full everybody gets their own room. Restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Friendly hosts. I can only recommend.
17. May 2025 - 22:23
Open but bedbugs were spotted here unfortunately. Please inform if this is still the case if you go here. It is a lovely place though so hopefully they can fix it soon.

Albergue opened a few days ago for the season.
19. September 2024 - 18:02
Attatched to church. Quaint little pkace only 2 in a room with single beds! Lovely hospitaleros!

This is the first place I’ve paid for, took a look and then decided not to stay. Please take a look first and then decide if you want to sleep here. I did not feel safe. Doors only lock on the outside. Church is gorgeous but closed except Sundays.
For 6 euro it will be a dream for some and a nightmare for others.

The Albergue de Cacabelos is open! Beatiful, 2 bed rooms for everyone. New clean showers, washing area and lots of outside space. Friendly volunteers. Microwave and kettle. Very good facility for 6 euros!!
2. June 2024 - 15:59
Can’t believe they don’t have this operating June 2024.
26. May 2024 - 12:57
Closed due being out of season. Hm
22. April 2024 - 18:03
It has a sign to say temporarily closed but it's definitely closed
27. September 2022 - 14:20
The albergue opened this year for a short summer season. A local told me it reopened in July but when I passed on 24/9/22 there was a hand-written notice outside saying it was closed due to end-of-season. I’m guessing it will open again in Spring/Summer 2023.

The hostel is closed since covid happened, apparently

I didn’t stay here but when I passed by it, it looked great. Looked like a central yard to hang out in.
