Albergue Las Herrerías

Nice hostel; very rustic. We had a double room for a total of 34€. The room is located behind the bunk bed room, which means you always have to pass through it. Additionally, we found it really cold without blankets, so we woke up several times during the night. Also, one of the single beds squeaked. Overall, however, good value for money and a nice owner.

Private room for 34 euro. No wifi. Not many pilgrims. Great hostess.

Loved the dorm and the garden of the albergue. Rustic and beautiful! Be aware there are some stinging nettles in the handwashing and laundry drying area. I booked in for dinner thinking there were no other options in town, but it turns out there are several restaurants. I thought €15 for a salad (nice), pasta with pesto (okay) and watermelon juice (okay) was a bit much. I would have preferred to eat in one of the other restaurants in town.

We were met by Connor who couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The building is beautiful - very old with plenty of space. We had a double room just off the dorm. A very friendly group meal that evening. I would definitely stay there again.

This app says €15 but it’s actually €50

Dorm is €10 + whatever donation you’d like to pay on top.

Please update.

No blankets provided - which is not a problem, just be prepared. It was only slightly cool and I wore a long sleeve shirt and my hiking pants.

The bathroom had loads of hooks!! Why can’t every place do this!

Loved my stay here x

I highly recommend staying here. Very authentic and rustic. The beds are upstairs with one power plug beside your bed, and bathrooms are downstairs. My dinner was excellent and included appetiser of hummus and olives as well as delicious soup, pesto pasta, bread, wine and an insane strawberry mousse slice dessert to die for. I opted for breakfast the following morning to ensure a full tummy before the steep ascent to O Cebreiro. Oats, fruit, bread, butter, bread sticks, coffee. Bed is €10, dinner is €14 and breakfast is €5.

Had a great time here— very pretty place- no bed bugs. Good meal. Fun hosts. Beautiful area outside to relax. Great bar across the street with wifi. Very good value!!! Recommend it to all.

I recommend staying here. I stayed in a private room October 12, 2024. The bed was very comfortable and I had a good rest. Quiet. The fan and light come on in bathroom when you enter. Amazing old stone house. When I stayed there was no cell reception nir Wifi (not just here, but whole village).

Very clean albergue. High quality vegetarian shared meal. Limited space to dry clothes.

Miriam was a resentful host
Eager for money and pretending to be nice
Frugal dinner
Disappointing

An absolutely beautiful albergue with fabulous garden with fountain, hammocks, delicious vegetarian meals and kind and friendly staff.

I unfortunately woke up in the morning with bites in clusters and lines all over my feet. They use disposable sheets, so the communal dorm may just need to be fumigated.

No breakfast, simple dinner of pesto pasta, pumpkin soup and cheesecake.

I found a single engorged bedbug when I inspected my bunk on arrival. I let Miriam know and I changed beds to the other side of the room. The original bunk was "reserved" for the rest of the night. Miriam was very apologetic and explained that the recent hot weather and influx of pilgrims makes it unavoidable. She will do a thorough clean today. No bites on me this morning so hopefully I have escaped "unscathed."

Great albergue, clean friendly and helpful volunteers. Offers some private rooms. We were served a restaurant quality evening meal. The best risotto I've ever had presented beautifully.

We got a private room with 2 beds for €30. It was lovely and warm with a great view and good blankets. The volunteers running the place were friendly and speak good English. The only downside was that the bathroom was downstairs from all the rooms, but they were clean and had lots of hooks.

Very nice Hostal. Hostess speaks English. Lovely vegan pilgrim menu

Je recommande cette albergue.
J'arrive, très fatiguée avant 14h. Et très gentiment, Myriam m'installe de suite, alors que lors de la réservation, elle m'avait bien précisé de ne pas arriver avant 14h.
Le jeune volontaire présent, monte mon sac à dos dans le dortoir au 1er étage.
Présence de hamacs dans le jardin.
Grande longueur de fil à linge.
Excellent dîner végétarien.
Très belle rénovation des locaux.

I had the best stay at Miriam’s albergue. The room was clean, comfortable and light. There were private rooms available, but I stayed in the shared-dorm. No fixed price, but definitely worth 10 or 15€. The vegetarian dinner (also donation based, 10€ normal) was delicious and fresh. The mood was really welcoming and Miriam was a super kind host. There is hand washing and a line available for free, or 5€ for a clothes wash. Would absolutely recommend - really loved the hammocks and library too

System is chanched. Donativo - based, you should pay imidiately what you choose how much.
Vegan lunch, no brekfest.
Very little drying space for you clothes.
No chance to make your own food, no fridge to use.
Beautiful, but simple.

Stayed 17.10.22
This albergue has a heart. The communal meal was delicious and is a lovely way to meet fellow pilgrims. Surroundings were conducive to relaxing before the climb next day. A pilgrim played the guitar there after supper and we sang along too. Decent breakfast. Highly recommend staying here.
