Everything very clean. Large dormitory, but I didn't sleep well because I was near the door and the toilets. And the light kept turning on automatically. Garden and kitchen very good.

We had a small private room with a set of bunk beds. We couldn't have been happier with our room! Everything was sparkling clean. The courtyard was delightful. Kitchen was great and the hosts sell a few grocery items for when the shops were closed. We ate at a Cafe down the stairs from the main church and overlooking the town square. It was the best meal we had had in weeks!

Dormitory is big, spacious with lockers. They have a kitchen and a patio where people sit and interact. Laundry dries fast on laundry line. Great place. However was a little annoyed with a group of german pilgrims. They were chatting in a group near a bunk bed while ignoring that there are people who are lying down and might want an early night. They could have gone out to talk in the kitchen or patio! Not enough of respect for dormitory living!
There is also the bus6A that passes thru on the way to the airport. Would return here again!

But once you enter, it is clean, well organized. The patio is very appealing.

The lady dosen't know a word in english but we understood everything she said. It's clean, has a big garden with a small shrine, dining tables and ropes for drying the clothes. There is also a kitchen with a stove and a micowave and a dining room. We used the washing and drying service which costs 6€ and you get your clothers delivered to your bed when done. The shop nearby is open until 8:00.

Clean, beautiful garden, very good kitchen and very kind personal. Highly recomend this place!!! Then you only have 10 km so you can enter Santiago early.

I'm so glad I stopped here before the final stretch - I had a private room, which actually had bunk beds, for €20! The lady who runs it is so sweet - I must've looked a bit lost, because she took me by the hand and pointed to where I started the camino the next morning. 😂 The garden area is lovely!

One of the best.

Netter Empfang aber erst ab 14h, saubere Herberge,
mit großem Garten, sehr gut ausgestatteter Küche, Supermarkt direkt gegenüber, grosser Gemeinschaftsraum, direkt an der Bushaltestelle. Der Bus fährt 25 Minuten für 1 Euro nach Santiago und ca.5 Minuten in die andere Richtung zum Flughafen. Der Herbergsvater bringt mich netter Weise mit dem Auto zum Flughafen. Hab mich super wohl gefühlt.

Very relaxing place with lawn chairs.. Well equipped kitchen with a limited grocery store across the street. Doors not open till 2:00. Bar nearby is on the expensive side.

The showers are well set up with shelf and hooks, plugs at each bunk area, clean, linen sheets, lockers for valuables, beautiful washing area in an open garden area with lots of tables and chairs. Highly recommend.

This place is great option, is best to stop here and refresh 10 km before arriving, the lady at the front desk is so helpful and courteous, just ask and she will try to accommodate your needs. Has a nice kitchen and hand wash station, it they will wash and dry your stuff if you ask. The place is clean and nice.

As a cyclist, it was an ideal distance for a two-night stay in order to cycle in unladen and back again in order to permit relatively easy sightseeing. The kitchen and (heated) dining room are in an annex; all mod cons, a gas hob, microwave oven, fridge/freezer and two coffee machines and a coffee pod dispenser at 1 Euro each. A vending machine sells soft drinks and a limited choice of beer at reasonable prices. Wine is also available from reception again at reasonable price but choice is limited. There is a supermarket opposite but only essentials are stocked and choice limited although a reasonable, if rather expensive, selection of drinks are available. Recommended.

We were blessed to be put in the handicapped room (maybe because we showed up first?) with a private bathroom—for only €15 each. Great location; no food but local bars/restaurants are close. Lovely terrace and convenient laundry area. Wonderful staff! Our last stop before Santiago—very relaxing and welcoming. Supermercado across the street.

Good price, very friendly employees, laundry service, amazing little kitchen well-stocked with pots and pans, and a great outdoor area with lots of space perfect for socializing or getting some time to yourself, whichever you prefer. Loved the little touches, such as the shampoo they left out for peregrino use. Would definitely come here again next time I do the Francés.

Dorm a little soulless but it has a good kitchen, garden and bathroom. Maybe could do with an additional shower or two. Perfectly OK place to stay. Staff were lovely.

The dormitory feels a little like a prison- poor lighting, creaky metal beds, very dense with mediocre ventilation. That said, there are lockers, some shelving, plugs by each bed, and blankets available.
They have fabric sheets (which I greatly prefer to disposable)
There is an ample and attractive garden. The kitchen space was clean and orderly. There is a vending machine for cans of beer and snacks. Restaurants are nearby. The location is fantastic for an easy finish in the morning.
The showers were ok. Though not very many of them for the number of beds.
Everything was very clean and well cared for.
