Albergue Estrella del Camino

I have been
walking from france just wanted a room . In frustration the man threw me out . Bummer the whole way give passport pay get bed simple. First very unpleasant experience in spain. But whats cool about the Camino you just walk on and forget about it.

The man at the desk on arrival was rather glum. The room with the bunks was inadequately lit and the bunks were too close together. No sheets and so I had to pay for a garden fleece like bed cover.
I definitely wouldn't recommend this Albergue.

I arrived late so had to go here but was pleasantly surprised. Best shower and washroom to date, nice seating area, clean, and the mattresses were good. I can see why some might find the owner abrupt but if you look closely his manner is actually quite friendly - just don’t go on his lawn or leave a mess :D

Typical large albergue which is okay with me.It looked like the beds had sheets and pillow cases. The host was selling disposable sheet and pillow cases for 5 euros.
In the morning, I saw him straightening up the pillows and sheets.
I was told by another albergue that the disposable sheets cost about 50 cents and are required. Another pilgrim saw the same.

Not a great Albergue, very very basic. Not worth the 15€. The owner is rude and scolded me for stepping on the grass. No soap anywhere, no paper towels to dry your hands, no sheets or blankets plug-ins are at the other end of the room much better places to go than what this place has to offer

No evening meals or breakfast available.

Contrary to previous comments, I did not find the host rude, but rather accommodating. Very neat and tidy alb, best shower on the Camino to date. Real sheets.

Americans on here are ridiculous with their bad reviews. I’ve stayed here twice. The owner reserves his smiles and
humor for people who are kind to him. I like him very much and he’s easy to win over. The place is small, cozy with fire, comfy and sturdy beds, VERY clean. Nobody cares if bathrooms are mixed!!! It’s a hostel for Pete’s sake. Lovely garden, areas to eat and plenty of hot water. He’s not a social guy and he has his own reasons for that. Be kind to the albergue owners — they put up with a lot of crap from visitors.

Stay somewhere else or keep walking.

Rudest Hospitalera you will ever meet.

Dorms are not pleasant - rows of beds. We had a smaller dorm with 6 bunks which was ok and clean but mixed showers and toilets in the same room are AWFUL - yuck!! Not even any handwash!! Owner woke us up by switching lights on and the message was clearly get up and GET OUT! Left my sticks, ran back but at 8.10 he’d locked up! I created lots of noise and he eventually came and gave them to me!

Sent WhatsApp to reserve a bed. They never responded. I sent my bag forward to them in hopes of
seeing getting a bed there. When I got there they were full and charged me 5€ to release my bag. I showed them the WhatsApp messages and told me that I have to call to reserve. The man was hostile and would not release my bag.

For 15 € you would expect sheets on the beds, but no. Otherwise beds are ok, nice sittning area with a fireplace, but nowhere to cook, just a microwave at a outside area.

There are a lot of comments about the abruptness of the owner. Yes, I can see how this may be the case, but our experience with him was very good. My advice is don't let these comments put you off, it is a very nice place to stay.

We sat out in the courtyard having drinks and visiting. The owner sat inside in the corner and watched us. He came out right before 10 and very abruptly and mean told us the courtyard is closed-we lost track of time.
He and his wife were angry and ended up arguing loudly with one of our friends that asked for a
blanket-they did not want anything to do with her and were yelling.
In the morning, we thought check-out was at 8 like all the other places-there was no mention of this when we checked in. The owner waited until 7:20 to tell us we had to be gone at 7:30. He then stood there in a threatening way while we scrambled to gather our things and get out.
This man was the worst! He is a very angry person that seems not to like being a host.

The man that checked me in was very friendly and although he didn't speak English well, and my Spanish is terrible, he still made an effort to communicate with me.
Best thing at this albergue....there was thick foam wrapped around the runs for the ladder on the bunk beds!!! My feet have never been more thankful!
There was also a pellet stove in the we room so it was quite warm.
There were no meals offered here but there are several restaurants and bars nearby.

Ospitalero molto scortese antipatico con maniere arroganti…stanze con tanta umidità…se potete evitate di fermarvi da lui avete tutto da guadagnare

We had no reservation but our host could not have been more helpful or sensitive to our needs. He gave both of us bottom bunks when he noticed we both wore knee braces. This albergue is clean, well-appointed, and in a great location. For €14 it’s more than a bargain! I highly recommend!

We had a good stay here in the mixed dorms. The beds were comfortable with storage space close by. All clean and tidy and the owner was pleasant enough. Happy to recommend.

Bed was fine, the host was great with my group. Seemed friendly enough.

The only issue was wifi in the sleeping area.

Had the pilgrim meal prepared by the host and his wife. It was very good

I would recommend

I would not recommend this albergue. The owner was not very nice - which is fine…But we were accidentally late for curfew (this app is incorrect - it’s 2200!) and the owner yelled at us in Spanish and would not simply accept our apology. And there were only 6 pilgrims including our group - clearly there’s a reason this place doesn’t have customers. Stay away! Only good thing was the hot shower.
