Skip this hostel! It's a mess, the only thing missing from a complete disaster were actual bedbugs (thank God!). As the previous reviews have stated: no toilet seats, cramped and stuffy rooms, everything is dirty and rotting away (shower doors)... The 15€ pizza was a frozen one, heated up - that's the price of a full peregrino menu in a decent place!

I do not recommend it. The price was €55 per room instead of €35. The host doesn't speak English, and there was a lot of noise coming from below the room all evening, so I had to take my baby daughter outside at 10 p.m. just so she could fall asleep.

The dorms are packed in like sardines, but most people stay in Astorga, so when I was there it was empty.
Dorm 15 euros, private ensuite room €45.

Hosts not friendly and no toilet seats in bathrooms

In my opinion this is an albergue for financial reasons. They have no interest in you as a pilgrim, don't want your name or passport details, there is no breakfast, no personal touch. Bed in a room with strange bunk layout is 15 and meal is pizza or paella is 14, both are edible. Bathrooms are clean.
If you are stuck it's OK but if you can, keep walking.

No toilet seats in the dorm bathrooms. Loud people in the bar well past midnight. Not a good stay.

The host didn't need our passports? and he smelt strongly of BO. The 5 sets of bunks were too many for the small room and the sheets were filthy with no paper sheets to cover them. The whole place was grubby. We did however risk eating a pizza and they were very good! Didn't stay in the end but wrote our €10 per bunk off and moved down the road to a perfectly clean albergue.

Hosts are helpful and friendly. Private room is good. Pilgrim meal was awesome. Homemade, delicious and large portions. Definitely recommend.

Hosts are kind and helpful. English is sparse but we figured it out. We asked for 2 single beds and there is also a double in this room so good for 3 or 4 people.
Pizza and paella served anytime the bar is open. Pizza had a good crust to topping ratio and maybe could have been in the oven 1 minutes longer but I like crispy crust. It came quick.

Okay, not wonderful. Cafe has reasonable prices, some staff speak some English. Odd arrangement of bunks in our room, very crowded.

Very cute village, cool hosts but slightly dirty. The room was ok though. I've enjoyed my experience and had a perfect night sleep! Fox
