Albergue Casa Mariela

We had a nice stay. Got a small room with only 2 bunks and a litrle balcony and the were only me and an other girl,so nice and quiet.
Clean rooms and bathrooms and you get real sheets for the bed. Friendly staff. We had lunch at the restaurant acros the street (pilgrims menu 17 euro) nice food.

Needs updating

Bunk beds were great. They provided real sheets and pillow cases.

However, the pilgrim meal was at the San Andres hotel and was horrible. I had dried out salmon. I heard the beef was good. It took forever to get served.

Hosts are not friendly. This is run more like a business than a pilgrim place for rest and respite.

We booked day in advance via WhatsApp. Check it was straight forward. Beds were comfortable. Showers and bathrooms were clean. Recommend!

We had lunch at the hotel restaurant down the street. Very nice salad for lunch and we came back for Pellegrino dinner - nice event and evening. When you check into the Albuquerque they will ask you if you would like the pilgrim meal, which is at this same restaurant.

We had coffee and croissants at the Albuquerque in the morning.

When I messaged to book a week before they said there would be a meal and a swimming pool. However when we got here they said the restaurant was not doing meals and the pool isn’t open. We only booked here for the pool- extremely disappointed

I won't recommend to stay there. First, the staff is not friendly and everything is made to push you to buy in their shop or to eat their menu for dinner. I wanted to use the microwave but it was only until 7pm and you cannot use plates etc. Also you cannot use the pool. The food they sell is overpriced,it's really all about business. I talked to people who stayed on Santol and seems to be a better option.

Was delicious and plentiful. Even vegetarian pilgrims supper menu

Fyi Beds are now 14e and supper is 15e.

The bunk rooms weren’t overcrowded. Plenty of space for everyone. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was a bit tight on space but three showers and two toilets were fine. The outdoor area in front was a great place for hanging out and conversation.
Pilgrim’s dinner was included and offered good options for all.

Has a small shop downstairs w snacks, cold cuts, bread, coffee, etc. room was nice. Dinner was at the restaurant down the street. Everyone went there and it was a bit crowded. Good food and service. Showers and restrooms are shared.

Wich is still alright. The beds are Nice. Relatively small amount of beds per room.

Things must have changed since the previous reviews. We stayed 1 night, pool and food were very much appreciated. Dormitories were very spacious. Hospitalarios were very welcoming and helpful. Place is very clean and well maintained. Wifi details are posted on all of the walls and is free.

The town is all run by the same family or at least it seems like it. The prices are high and the only option for dinner is expensive and lacking. On a positive note, the facilities are clean and comfortable. Also, the pool appears to be a sham, it’s always closed.

May 2019
Spent one night here and it was okay. Not to clean and the host didn’t act very positive. But you can buy some food in their small store and coffee from a machine. There is two restaurants in the small village so you can have dinner and breakfast.
The WiFi is free but you have to ask about it and also the password.

But having said that, at least they tried to give you value for money. Dorms a bit crowded, three showers and two toilets on our floor which had more than 20 people, but the pilgrim meal was good value for money. The only bar and tiny shop in town as well, breakfast there a Euro more than normal.

Cost was 10 euros for a bed. Clean bathrooms. Had a nice dinner down the way from the albergue. Th grocery inside the albergue was great for stocking up on supplies before heading out.

The magical El Ramon. Mis his peculiarities, unique open air outdoor Lou, with flies glued to you for the banquette! Just humour! He was unique. May God bless him where ever he might be.
