We spent a comfortable night. Our host did the washing and hung it out to dry for us too.
On the flip side, soundproofing is poor and the herd of elephants in the morning disrupted our sleep.

The bottom bed is lowered so that even the tallest of people can sit on it without whacking their heads - this alone made it a great place. No kitchen or food facilities but other good options in town. I would stay again happily enough.

We opted for a private room here but the dorms were also very nice; everything is new, clean, well-managed. Laundry service included folded items upon completion. Perfect location in our favorite village on the Camino. Don’t miss the Pilgrim’s Mass, and be sure to visit Hotel O Cebreiro for drinks and outstanding local fare.

At this point of the walk, bunk beds are now a way life. Pilgrims choosing an Albergue based on beds … this place is for you. Solid construction. No life threatening wiggling or teetering as you climb in & out. Quite too. The ladder rings are wider and don’t amputate you feet on each step. Give them a go. I’m sure you will love them as much as we did.

Lovely and clean. They thought about what you need. Liked it very much.

Clean, looks recently renovated. High end bathroom, practical bulk beds with individual key lockers with power outlets. Friendly host. Recommended.

Comfortable, clean. Loved the personal bed lamps and power outlets. Wet boots in closed cabinet cannot dry. Laundry machines available only until 16:00. Restaurants and church very close. Nice.

The woman who ran the albergue treated us like a major inconvenience, came into the room in the night shouting in Spanish, and was generally rude! Also v cold. I don’t recommend.
