    Exceptional albuerge

    There really wasn't anything to improve. The only thing making this experience better would be a chance to rent a towel, but that's a totally small item.

    Very great albuerge – one of the best I've stayed over the camino. Everything was clean, well organised, there were washing machines, dryer, a place to wash clothes by hand, kitchen was fully equipped. I had to take a taxi to the airport next morning and host reserved it for me. Very great experience.

    The owner is a sweet lady who takes pleasure in how much we enjoy our stay here. It’s clean and very taken care of. Also more modern and new than other hostels I’ve stayed at yet with a homey feel to it. The common areas are perfectly set up to easily talk to other people and the back yard is a treasure! Enjoy your stay :)

    It did get a bit warm in the pod-beds because there is no air-conditioning and you weren’t allowed to open the windows.

    The property is new so very, very clean. Ample laundry facilities. Beautiful garden in the back to relax. Wonderful host who was so willing to assist with any questions.

    A really delightful alburgue - it has a lovely kitchen, dining and lounge area and such a beautiful garden. The sleeping pods were really clean with their own lights, power points and lockers and real linen sheets. A lovely place to spend the last night on the Camino.

    I got bitten ferociously on my abdomen and forehead. I feel they should have more food to buy on a Sunday when they supermarkets are shut. It’s a very limited village. Long life options that can be microwaved.

    The privacy bunks and lockable under bunk lockers (although mine didn’t lock).

    We had to bed's in a 6 bed shared room. There are curtains to the beds for privacy and locked drawers for your belongings (no need for a lock). There was a small bathroom directly next to the dormitory. Best pilgrim Albergue we had on the camino. The owner (Maria?) is super friendly and helpful.

    Exceptionally clean, a little privacy with the curtain and the staff was kind and helpful. I got this place, planning to walk to the airport because I had an early flight. But there is the first airport bus arriving there around 6:20AM on Sundays. The next one is around 6:40AM as far as I could guess but it can vary greatly so I suggest going to the bus stop maybe 10-15 minutes before estimated arrival.

    The mattresses were a little squeaky.

    Stayed here before going to the airport in the morning. Great location for catching the bus to the Santiago airport. The receptionist at the front desk was very helpful and kind and gave me a tour of the alberge. Every inch of the lodgings were very clean. There was also a garden in the back. Great price.

    Always good to provide a mop/disinfecant next to the toilet in the case of men who 'dribble' on the floor before you go in (not so much much of problem here as elsewhere!)

    The only Albergue on our trip to provide full cooking facilities. Super friendly hostess (Maria?) and beautiful back garden. This place is spotless and modern.

    They need to finetune the light in the sleeping area which switches on each time someone walks by. That is quite disturbing, but could be easily fixed. Also would need to foresee additional space to brush teeth / comb hair. That is now at the toilets and is not ideal

    Brand new albergue, very clean and comfortable. Not too large. All bunkbeds have a good curtain to have privacy. USB to load your mobile at the bed. Well equiped kitchen. No breakfast or dinner so bring your own meal. Ideal as last stop before reaching Santiago or as last stay before taking an early flight. Bus stop to airport or Santiago on 5 minutes walk. Otherwise walk to the airport is 3,5km.

    The bathroom has push button showers which are only made better with temperature control. They were clean and there was a bench just outside the shower. Check which room you have booked (big or small) in case you do have a preference and are put in the ‘other’ one. If traveling together but booking separately, send them a note. They could do with an extra sofa given the capacity of the albergue, perhaps my making the reception smaller and the common area larger. A small trash bin in the room would also be useful.

    Nice albergue with comfortable beds and good facilities. The service was good, clear explanations, etc. The kitchen is well equipped, there’s washing machine and dryer. When we stayed there was also paper to dry boots and a place to hang wet ponchos. There’s a fiend/supermarket up the road but it isn’t amazing beyond packaged basics, so bring food from Pedrouzo if coming along the Camino. It was a good stay here, would happily return.

    Nothing

    The hostel is new and is very nice. They have a very nice kitchen, a garden, and laundry. The beds are very comfortable and nice with curtains. It is located in the camino but also good because it is 15 minutes from the airport. The owner is very nice and helpful. The kitchen is furnished and nearby you can go to the supermarket to buy something to Cook. The showers are separate from the bathroom. They also have shampoo included. The sheets are included.

    It is very nice place to stay apart from the noise other people made at night during sleeping time, but this is personal behavior although house rules state to keep quiet at night, but this is hostel you get what you paid for, it still worth staying. One more thing is you have to pay attention to the Monbus timetable, I didn't pay attention to it, so I missed the last bus from Santiago to the property in the evening, no choice, but had to take a taxi to the property.

    It is very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful all the time. It is very close to bus station to Santiago.
