Outstanding All Around

Plain on the outside, beautiful on the inside. Terrific garden and outdoor seating area with softly playing upbeat music. Unique cozy interior. Clean everywhere. Comfy private rooms with cloth towels. Delightful communal dinner. Most of all, great hosts!

Don’t miss this Albergue

Outstanding. Feels like a grande home with comfort inside and outside. The beds are fine but the living space is everywhere comforting. The community meal is excellent with great company. Outside patio has so much charm as does each corner of the home. Would love to live here. A true Camino experience beyond any expectations.

Nice albergue stayed October 11

We really enjoyed this place. We had a private room with shared bathroom. There's a nice courtyard to have a drink. We ate the dinner and enjoyed it. The owners were very nice, talking and joking with us.

Great place to stay

Traditional Spanish interior, we loved the little details around the place. It was cosy, heating was on which we haven’t found in many places. Clean, with lots of places to sit and relax. Lovely outside area with bar. Evening meal was good value for money, 3 choices for each course.
Hand washing facilities and drying area

Good place to stay

I enjoyed my stay there, although the lady put all 3 pilgrims in the room with the bunk beds, which were quiet noisy.
The pilgrim menu was a lot even though it was again the same. I also liked the garden area.

Pros and Cons

This albergue is near the river which is a wonderful place to cool hot tired feet. So it’s worth the extra distance and enables a shorter day into Leon. Albergue was superior to a municipal and the beds were very good. Bathrooms so so. It seems here also that ventilation is optional. The lady on the front desk was gracious and helpful. The meal was ok. The owners were however fairly rude and one could get the impression that pilgrims were more an inconvenience in her home than valued customers. But maybe she was just having an off day. Overall I’d say that the location is worth any minor issues.

A nice albergue!

Mattresses weren’t the most comfy, but everything else about the place was lovely. Friendly hospitalera, great garden area and indoor lounging spaces, and nice pilgrim dinner. To get laundry washed and dried is 10 eur, which is steep.

Lovely but expensive

This Albergue is really nice and well furnished. The bar out the back is simply awesome after walking all day. However, the private room simply was not worth the 68 Euro and laundry was 14 euro. The host is lovely but it is just a bit expensive.

Lovely hospitalera

Loved this place where I stayed a couple of days ago. Nice garden, good washing faciliteter and nice bar.
Dinner was great, with multiple choice for all three courses. Stay!

Très bel endroit avec de vrais wc et douche

Très propre , très accueillant , le jardin avec son bar restaurant sont très jolis. La décoration est sympathique il y a une vraie atmosphère . Le repas partagé avec les pèlerins était très agréable. Je recommande

Very nice

Prior reviews are mixed, but mine is very positive. Great common areas and garden, very well appointed, the dinner was good, the company excellent. The bunkrooms are small, but it’s five euros more for a single bed if you prefer.

Mostly Pros. A few Cons...

We enjoyed our stay here and appreciated single beds in dorm for €20 each.
Pros: Good Pilgrim meal €14, chicken was delicious.
Nice courtyard, communal areas, Clean sheets,
Cons: No toilet paper in the morning. Why can't hosts be sure to have extra rolls for the busy toilet time in the mornings? This is not too much expectation as I am usually very easy going. Some care in this regard is appreciated. I even asked specifically that 2 empty toilets be replenished the night before. Hosts are unavailable in the AM.

Super albergue

It was a clean space with a fabulous courtyard. There is the option of single beds for an extra 5 euros. The sitting rooms are lovely and one has a fireplace. The Pilgrim meal was delicious.

Great Albergue

Lots of communal areas for relaxing. Great Albergue

4. May 2024 - 20:09

A good choice

I really enjoyed this Albergue.
I know that a good stay depends a lot on the company and we had a good sociable crowd, but the room was spacious, the shower was strong and hot and the meal was excellent.
A breakfast would have been good but the big baker & cafe in town opens early for Pelegrino trade.
I recommend this one.

Pleasant Stay

Dinner was not mandatory for us, however we were glad about it as there weren‘t any other options in the town (the supermarket is closed on Sundays). Portions were very big and a surprisingly good salad.

Comfortable beds and plenty areas to chill.
Is a lot nicer and bigger than it looks from the outside.
The owner has also a very cute cat

Dinner is mandatory

You must pay €28(Bed €15 + Dinner €13). Be sure that there is no choice of just getting the bed.

It’s ok

The place was clean and the shower and bed were good. I had the dinner, and it was nothing to brag about. The vegetable soup had plenty of broth but not many vegetables. Works perfect for a low calorie diet. The two small pieces of pork served were on the dry side - the thickness was not consistent and probably contributed to the poor result. The wine was red and super cheap. For a 13 euro meal it was not great. Probably should have picked up a 5 euro bottle of wine at Eroski and some bread and cheese.

I enjoyed the people and the atmosphere here

The manager is a no-nonsense, one-woman army, but she runs a very nice place. The food is good, there's a lovely patio and my bed was comfortable.

Lovely Garden out back

Had a twin room. Nice place with a wonderful lawn area out back to enjoy a cocktail and socialize. Pretty inside. Booked for dinner later.
