Albergue Monte Aro

I couldn’t recommend this albergue highly enough!
The hostess Jessie was absolutely incredible and made this experience even more worthwhile.
There were two floors; upstairs was a room filled with bunks, and downstairs was a common room and the bathrooms. Each bathroom had a shower and the toilet in a single stall, which made privacy very comfortable. There were a bunch of books and games in the common room, alongside a dining table and small kitchenette as well. The bunks were super comfortable, which came with a disposable sheet and an actual duvet. Lockers available for use next to the beds as well. There was also a common area outside. Full pilgrims dinner menu for only €14 and breakfast starting at €5.
Overall a very comfortable stay, and all the staff were very friendly. I recommend staying here to all pilgrims.
Buen Camino!

This place is buzzing. Jessie is (literally!) running this place. Wonderful host, good food, clean bathrooms and a nice dorm. But once again: Jessie is the cherry on the cake!

This place was great. The food was very good and the hospitaleros were fantastic. Would stay here again.

The hostess was incredible! She spoke a number of languages well and was very efficient. The facility was clean, beds were comfortable with a duvet, and the food was delicious. A lovely stop after a lot of hills.

My experience here was excellent. The dormitory building has a nice combination of modern facilities and old style stone walls. The bunk beds have a thick blanket, an outlet, a light, a small shelf, a locker with a key, and good headroom in the lower bunk. The shower had very hot water very quickly, and the shower head is hand held not fixed in place so you can move it around.
There are two washers and dryers for 4 euro each. The bar on site is convenient and very good. The WiFi is excellent and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Toilets are on the lower floor and beds are on the upper floor, so be careful during the night
Highly recommended. I would stay here again.

This is a wonderful Albergue - one of the best we’ve stayed at.

Clean, modern, small kitchen, very good food served in bar. Friendly hostess.

Lovely modern albergue, comfy beds with plush quilts. Clean and tidy with HOT showers. Great food, the pilgrim menu was the best I have had since leaving Saint Jean and open for breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff.

While it’s the only Albergue in Lago, it’s a great place. Modern, well run, clean, good fun and a very friendly hostess. The only issue is a very slow WiFi. Otherwise top tier.

We can only echo all other comments. Fabulous accommodation, food and setting. Definitely worth staying here, ice cream is delicious too

Host Tanya is very friendly. Food was excellent. Bunks are comfy and don’t creak. Nice soft duvets on each bed, individual lights and power supply. Bunks are upstairs and showers on main floor so it’s quieter for sleeping. Very clean, new. Highly recommended. Worth the extra distance and climb to stay in Lago.

I visited plenty of great albergues, but this one was simply the best. With the friendliest host, modern, good food and spacious.

Very nice albergue. Beds on the top floor and bathrooms on the lower floor. Make sure to get some ice cream!

Nice albergue, wifi is super slow though, and signal is like 1 bar. So if you need to connect to the internet, would be difficult

Clean, neat, modern, spacious, amazing hot shower, awesome food!

The albergue is spacious, clean and the welcoming was exceptional . The kitchen has a kettle, refrigerator and microwave. The bathrooms are excellent. We had dinner at the restaurant/cafe and it was delicious. The open for breakfast so it was good to get a coffee. I would highly recommend you to stay here.

Great food, great beds, very clean and an incredibly friendly hostess.
