Albergue Nuestra Señora del Pilar

The bunk beds are pushed together so you are sleeping right next to another person. The room feels damp and the smell is not pleasant, perhaps because you have to walk through the shower room to access the bunk room. Overall a poor set up.

The dorm was ok but only one toilet for 34 people is a little tight No blankets and no heat.

Nice place, got a private room with shared bath nice blankets and there is needed here is cold today, clean og friendly people here

This place is so cute and great people. We did see a few bed bugs and informed the bar who called the owner. Then we decided to sleep somewhere else. Hopefully it’s a problem they can fix quickly. The only other thing I’d mention is there’s 2 showers and 1 toilet for the whole place. But there is a kitchen and lovely sitting space

We stayed in a private double room that’s in a separate house a short distance from the restaurant. The house has two double rooms, two twin rooms, and two shared bathrooms with showers and toilets. Our room was comfortable, quiet, and very clean.
There’s no Wi-Fi, and the kitchen is locked, so you can’t cook. But on the plus side, there were no bed bugs in our room — it seems that issue might only affect the rooms above the restaurant. Overall, a good place to rest after a long day on the Camino.

They wouldn’t return our money but the did give us a new room. We did a careful search of the new room and it was clear of any evidence of bedbugs. They are shutting the previous room temporarily while they “desinfectar” tomorrow.

It’s a lovely place, and the folks were very in hospitable. Unfortunately, my daughter-in-law spotted several bedbugs in her bunk. My son who had been sleeping on the bed next to her also found one on his shirt. I know bedbugs are not an issue with cleanliness, it’s just unfortunate that one or two must’ve hitchhiked to this Albergue.

There are no signs of bed bugs at the moment now (June 2025), stay safe.
Oldschool wooden bunkbeds with cotton bedsheets, but packed quite tight, some without any gap between, so, if the dorm is full, you can get a new and surprising experience to sleep with random person in (almost) the same bed.
The attached shower and toilet asked for renovation and, ummm, gender-neutral. :-}
Tip: don't spend money for a communal dinner with paella for 11 euros, take a walk to La Posada de Gaspar and take a delicious peregrine menu for 16€.

(This is an English repetition of my review in French.)I stayed here two days ago. The dorm was crammed with low bunk beds and there were only 2 showers, 2 sinks & 1 toilet for everyone.
I was lucky but my friends sleeping only a few feet away from me both got bed bugs.

J’y ai échappé, mais mes deux amis ont eu des punaises ici.
Il n’y a qu’un grand dortoir dans lequel on a entassé un grand nombre de lits superposés. Il n’y a qu’une toilette, deux douches et deux lavabos pour tout le monde.
D’autres amis m’ont dit qu’ils ont beaucoup aimé le monastère et le donativo å Rabanal.

1 Shared bathroom with 5 bedrooms.
Nice old character building. Lovely courtyard and bar for socialising.

Very tight sleeping quarters and too few showers/toilets. Bar and courtyard was nice. There are more comfortable places to stay if they’re available.

Interesting set up, kitchen for pilgrims, I forget if it was 11 or 12 euros

Very kind hosts, very clean albergue, lovely sitting area with heat on cold night, a fantastic sunroom next to the bar on rainy days, and a sitting area outside for sunny days.

The beds are way too close to one another and some bunks are squeezed into one double bed so some people end up sleeping with strangers. No room for luggage. Toilets and showers insufficient. Moreover, the top bunk is so low that you can’t even sit on the lower one to do anything, like read or put on your socks. They were ‘out of blankets’ for all of the second dorm. The alarm system started blaring at 6 am and you wonder if it happens every day, just to get people out. Staff not very friendly and keeping the most cosy room for them and their friends. Staff friendly with locals (lots of them, noisy) at least.

Great albergue, the bedroom was super cool even if it was an hot day. Great meal at the restaurant. Lovely courtyard.

I did feel that this wasn't the best set up. A large room with plenty of beds, but only 2 showers, and 1 easily accessible toilet. The food was adequate, but not much selection, so thankfully there were other places for a second meal. The service was fine

Avoid this Albergue if you can. Anywhere else on the Camino this albergue would not survive. 34 beds,2 showers and 1 toilet. Beds so close together it's like sleeping with strangers. Owners are out to maximise profit from a captive audience.

The dorm was huge and overly crowded.
Bed banks were adjacent to one another, so I practically had to sleep with a snoring stranger with me in bed!
Lucky I hang my towel between us :/

Lovely albergue. I really liked the outside courtyard and sitting area and that you can cook your own food (even though the bar serves good food as well). The women running the place are lovely and helpful.

There are two large dorms with a lot of beds in each of them. A bit too cramped for my taste. So it’s not the most private place but the other things make up for it.
