Albergue Só Por Hoje

Great place to stay, Patricia was so welcoming and understood the needs of pilgrims. Pilgrims meal was excellent, we were served a Brazilian meal
Beds with sheets and blanket, plus the bonus of a towel

Guests are fortunate to receive Patricia warm hospitality and Brazilian cooking for a pilgrim’s meal. The site is clean and guests get real towels and bedding! Patricia has walked two caminos and knows how to make pilgrims comfortable.

Great comunity dinner!

Clean room.

A great option in Astorga!

This place is a very nice ‘Boho’ place with a clean bed and nice bathroom. ‘Breakfast’ was processed foods in plastic packaging (most people who stayed that night left it on the table, and the green bananas were the only fresh thing to eat. I didn’t choose to eat dinner because I couldn’t afford it. I splurged on the bed/hot shower. If you are looking for a communal experience, don’t stay here- the host was neither welcoming or friendly during the short time the guests were there. She also has issues with laundry- just don’t ask. The host’s mood seemed to permeate the place.

It is a very cosy place and feels like visiting an old friend.
The owner told us the story of how it came to be, while we had a communal meal, traditional brazilian food. She offers towels and sheets which is very thoughtful.

To improve

Our washing was all humid in the morning, she didnt hang it or unwrap it, things in a ball and wet when we left in the morning.

The breakfast was all processed foods in the little bag she prepares.

These two things could improve

Love, love, love this Albergue💖. Nice, clean, no bunk beds. Comes with towels and sheets. Nice dinner. It’s like coming to a friends house🙏🏽

Clean, cotton sheets on the beds, lovely home-like atmosphere. Only one main bathroom so you need to be patient with other pilgrims. The evening meal was nice, a bit expensive what it was but it was nice to hear Patricia’s story of how she came to open the albergue. Met some lovely people. A positive experience!

One of the few regrets of my cross-country hike from Gibraltar to Galicia was the fact that I overlooked this little gem of an albergue. I had spent most of the 1225km hike sleeping rough on the ground (or in my trusty hammock) while researching for my latest book: Vagabond. I've returned to Astorga twice since (walking the Camino del Invierno andcollecting material for a new Lonely Planet guidebook) and now stay at So por Hoje every chance I get. It's well worth the upgrade! Mark Eveleigh (UK).

Place was clean - lots of steps. She is a mum (single??) and running the Hostal while raising her family. Agree with another post about the scales in the bathroom - what a bonus! Didn't like that we had to pay in cash though. Patricia is very friendly and compassionate. Another pilgrim told me she got sick there and Patricia let her stay an additional night free of cost.

This is an expensive albergue for what is on offer - 10 beds in one attic room with only one bathroom. The dinner does not have a non-meat option and the breakfast is a bag of processed bread and cake and one banana. There are much better options in Astorga.

This is the most beautiful albergue we’ve come across. All facilities are perfect. Before the authentic Brazilian dinner, Patricia (host) will share with guests her inspirational story. And, there is a scale in the bathroom. You can’t tell me that, at this point in your Camino, you’re not wondering how much weight you’ve lost!

Stayed here last night in a private room with a shared bathroom that only 2 rooms used. It was wonderful, the room had a double bed & a single but most important there was both an air conditioner & a fan. A real treat. The bedroom even had a kettle, Bathroom was large & the bath was huge which had rails so if you’re concerned about getting out they will help you. Would stay here again.

I felt like I was being welcomed into the home of an old friend. This place is nice and the host makes this a wonderful experience. Best sleep I’ve had for weeks. Great vibe. Sit out on the patio after dinner. Very relaxing.

The host Patricia is super nice and turned a flat into a hostal! There are 10 singular beds with super comfy sheets and blankets and a breakfast included that had toast, cereal, hard boiled eggs, coffee, tea, etc. However, it’s a little overpriced in my opinion. I would happily pay 20 euros, not 28. Patricia cooks a dinner when 4+ people sign up for it. But, it’s rice, black beans and chicken in broth…for 17 euros. One course meal with store bought dessert. It’s good, but probably costs 4-5 euros max per portion. I recommend but it’s not budget friendly. There’s also only one bathroom for ten people. It’s a very nice bathroom and shower (and there was even a weight scale if you want to weigh yourself), but difficult to share in the morning.

simply excellent, gracias Patricia

Take a hard pass.

Patricia is a wonderful host, and a pilgrim herself. The beds are real beds, not bunk beds, with sheets and blankets and one of the best pillows I’ve had all Camino. Patricia makes a delicious Brazilian dinner and breakfast is plentiful and included in the price of the bed. The bathroom is clean and modern and each bed also comes with a locker that you can lock. Stay here if you want a restful and welcoming night in Astorga. Patricia makes you feel at home.

This Albergué is located in someone’s residence. There are nine beds, no bunk beds on the top floor. All nice and clean with towels and blankets provided. The fee is now 25€ and comes with bfst. The owner, a lady from Brazil lives on third floor below Albergué and the second Floor is kitchen TV Room and dining area. She also offers 12€ dinner for pilgrims she cooks herself. Excellent experience, get the dinner if you stay here. I stayed here 17 October 2020. JO from Orlando Florida
