Popped in to collect an extra credential and met the most amazing friendly volunteers. Do very friendly and knowledgable. Cant comment on staying but if that’s the welcome they give people, I would definitely be inclined to stay.

Check in was fast with the pilgrim pass. Clean. Good kitchen. Great location. Comfy beds with enough head room to sit up. What more could you want for 7euro?

How hard is it to put hooks in a shower cubicle?
One of the volunteers actually woke me from sleep in the afternoon to ask me to out the sheet on the bed. I’d misplaced it with all my stuff so out MY sheet on. Seriously, she could have waited. Very very annoyed about this

Really nice kitchen, lovely terrace. Good hand washing station and plenty of sun in the afternoon. Beautiful park outside. Good hosts, quick check in. Only $7 Euro. Def recommend.

The volunteers who checked me in were very friendly and good humored. Water was cold when I arrived but hot a few hours later. Laundry was inexpensive (3€ each). I was comfortable in my bed. One of the volunteers was nuts. Really.

Black mould in the corners
22 people in one room (and 4 in another) with 3 toilets and 3 showers for everyone.
Central and cheap and gross.

you can’t beat 7€ for a nice bed and kitchen. The lady was very understanding that I needed a rest and low bed. She put me a semi private room with two bunk beds. The Camino people definitely provides when you need it most!!

We always have reservations about big hostels, but this place was great. We arrived around 3pm and we where number 65 to check in. We ended up on the 3rd floor in a 2 bunk room. Bunks are solid and facilities are great. Toilets and showers on each floor. Recommend!

TBH I had alot of reservations based on previous comments. But after staying there, I was greeted by super friendly host who even gave a detailed guide on things to do in the city. The bathrooms and toilets are super clean and one of the nicest I’ve experience I’m surprised it’s still 7 euros. There’s only 4 people per room. I love it and I’m so happy I stumbled upon this gem in astorga!

Although this is a large Albergue, it is compartmentalized. We ended up with a private room. The Albergue closes at 10pm and do not be late. Every floor gets locked. Would recommend.
21. May 2024 - 17:43
Lots of space outside and inside to eat and relax

Albergue is nice and clean. Was given small room with only 4 beds which is great. Back garden is lovely and great area in the sun.
Hospitalerio however threw all my stuff on the floor. Very rude and unnecessary.

Terrible experience.

31 March 2024 - open from 12.00. Very hospital, heated.

Checked in yesterday afternoon to nice people at the front desk. Our room had three bunks, it was bright, window
opened, not enough outlets for everybody but we worked it out. Kitchen is a great kitchen. we were able to make a pilgrims meal for 12 of us, lots of seating for other people to have their meals also. Lots of room to dry clothes. its a great place and a good deal

We were told we had till 8am to leave yet were pestered from before 7. We were given blanket begrudgingly- even though it was minus 1 at 7am. Also were berated for asking for blankets and told if we asked for blankets in Galicia we would be denied. Not a nice experience. Don’t say 8 and then Chase people out at 7.

Arrived 24th November. Facilities ok (ish) at 7 euros.
The staff were rude, continuously shouting at all pilgrims to "put bed sheets on now! as its very important!"
Considering the fact that everyone had walked through the day with continuous rainfall and were soaked they were not even giving you time to get coats off etc.

it was the only open albergue in march 2022. the price is 7 euros not 5. very basic, no outlets in rooms. they will kick you out at 8, but turned on all the lights at 6:30 and we’re pressuring us to leave at that point. kitchen was closed at this time. no blankets on bed. it was very clean

2/10/21 I had a great stay here yesterday evening. The rooms, beds and facilities are clean and well-maintained. The Catholic mass was nearby. It was a Saturday night and the city had a great vibe with a lot of families.
