Albergue de peregrinos de Sobrado dos Monxes

This monastery is one of the most beautiful and welcoming places I‘ve been to. The albergue is very new in this old building. Even if you‘re not Christian it‘s stunning. If you want to checkin and the door is closed – don‘t worry, he is managing it solo and will return in a few minutes with a kind smile. He is very caring. I‘m glad I adjusted my plans a bit and could stay here.

Beautiful albergue in a beautiful location, but never put food in the fridge that you plan to take with you the next morning, because the kitchen doesn’t open until 9 AM.

I honestly think this is ridiculous. Why can’t the kitchen open earlier? This way, we can’t even have a coffee in the morning before we leave.

Lots of rooms with smaller numbers of beds opening to a beautiful, serene courtyard full of flowers. Even if you don't stay here, take the tour!

Check-in for pilgrims is quite unusual. It is possible to visit the monastery complex while staying at the hostel. This place is impressive.
One point to review: that the kitchen be open in the morning so that pilgrims who wish can have breakfast.

Part of the cathedral was transformed in a very modern and comfortable hostal. Clean and new showers, comfortable beds. Highly recommended

They welcome people with long form and we wait 1h30 in the queue before we could enter.

As mentioned already by other pilgrims, this place is really beautiful, once you get there. But it really took more than two hours to get in. The average time per person was about 6 minutes, so if there are 20 people before you, you can be sure to wait for about two hours...

Never sow such a stupid check in into an alberque!
The guy is completely overwhelmed. Needs hours to check in pilgrims. I you have a option to stay on an other place do it. It has something of a horror movie here.

Stayed here on May 17th, 2024 for 10€.
This was such a wonderful and welcoming Albergue - Brother Lawrence was lovely! Staying at the monestary was so peaceful, most welcome after a long day of walking in the rain.
I didn't make it to the 9pm mass, but was told by another pilgrim the next day that it was magical.
As mentioned by other pilgrims, Supermercado Claudio will open for you if you ring and say you are a pilgrim. The kitchen at the monestary was the best stocked I've seen on my Camino, with pots, pans, plates, glasses, mugs, etc. Note: only two stovetop burners, so it can get quite busy at peak times.

Nice and modern facilties, fun shower, brother Lawrence who seems to be the main port of contact is very helpful and a true gent, for when the food shops are closed, ring the bell of the door to the left of the supermarcado and state you are a Pilgrim, hopefully the shop owner will oblige and open for you. Check in for the monastery is done in waves, as it seems brother Lawrence is the one man band, if it states the albergue is open but nobody is there it's because people are being shown to their room. Earliest Pilgrims can depart is just after 6am,be sure to check out the main church, great acoustics, for singers, go wild with the chants.

Me and my wife stayed here and we lovet it. Its renovated during the covid, fewer beds in the dorms , very nice monestary . The Village have som bars and som restaurantes.

Staying here was undoubtedly the highlight of my Camino which started in Irun. The albergue is excellent. Clean modern beds. Great dorm. Well equipped kitchen but menu restaurants just outside. Then there is the monastery itself. An incredible experience beautiful Vespers. As a Christian pilgrim, a stay hear will be the highlight of your Camino
