Albergue de peregrinos de Presedo

Cost 7 euros a few days ago. Unrenovated, most basic hostel. No separation between beds. Shower stalls with swing doors. You can see through them. Toilets lockable. Beverage machine and automatic coffee maker (when was it last cleaned?). You receive a code for the front door by phone. Someone comes between 6 and 8 PM for check-in. Only nearby restaurant is expensive, no fresh ingredients (pickled vegetables, e.g. carrots from jars). You don't leave full. There is no competition.

Forgot to add: The alburgue is behind the church and is no longer blue. It is white with a nice mural of a pergrino

Foolish me thinking staying off stage would mean an empty alburgue. I got here an hour before opening and most beds were already taken. It has 14 beds not 20 in a jam packed room. For 7 Euros it works for the night. Only one restaurant nearby 500m. A vending machine in the alburgue takes bills and coins.

I came here later afternoon and there is no way to reach someone under the number or get into Albergue. Locals also don't know how to help. Now I need to have a night walk to the next place.

There is a washing machine. There is heating stove with a pan and a pot (no washing liquids tho). Plus place comes with vending machine with cola, chocolate etc. Please note that village is quite empty but still has one good restaurant next to El Camino open from 7-21 with good food.

Simple and basic, but fine, especially for only €7.

Price is 7€. There were 11 of us and the place was crowded. 16 beds filled would not work.
