The albergue was not full when I was there and I felt that I had some privacy in the dorm, which was nice. The stay also included a towel which was nice.

“Loved it! Especially my 5* view☺️”
Perfection! We had many people staying in the room but I was super lucky with the view from my top bed. The owner is very nice and welcoming. Kitchen facilities are very good too. I enjoyed my stay very much and would recommend it to others.

The albergue was really nice, super clean, had a really cozy atmosphere and the staff were really nice and helpful even though I don’t speak any Spanish. I loved the fireplace and decor in the common area and it had all the facilities for a great stay. It was also close to lots of places for snacks and supplies too.

“A nice Albergue in a central location.”
Great location in the centre of town. Staff were friendly and helpful. Sleeping area was clean and not cramped. The metal lockers could be a bit noisy but that was more about the individuals using them. Kitchen and rest area were clean and had all you needed.

“Best Albergue in Arzua and one. of the best on the camino!!”
All pilgrims’ needs have been carefully thought about and provided for- eg privacy in layout of bunks; hooks for clothing in dorm and bathroom; bathroom had hairdriers and heater, lines to dry clothing. Great location. Spacious and light. Well equipped kitchen; comfortable living area and onsite ice cream! Owner super kind & helpful - great central location Do visit deli selling cheese and jamon etc on main street - don’t miss a glass of wine and platter!

Amazing location right in the centre. The host did an incredible job and made me feel extremely welcome. After a day of rain on the camino, I was able to relax in the beautifully decorated common area in front of a real fire. What a find, would definitely return.

“It was okay”
Check in gentleman was very nice. Gave me ice for my foot. Locker has paper sheet and fluffy white towel. Room way too packed for the size of the space. Felt very stuffy. Nice lounge area

“Atmospheric dorm in centrally located hostel”
It is centrally located in Arzúa. It has a basic kitchen and an atmospheric dorm with a high wooden ceiling. Paper bed sheets are included.

“Good location, comfy bed”
Beds are comfy, but the ladder is a little awkward to get up. Shower had nice warm water. It is right across the little park from the church, so it's super convenient. And it's like 50m off the Camino, so super easy to find your way out of town the next morning.

“Wonderful Albergue run by a lovely person”
This was one of the nicest albergues I went to. The host was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to ensure we had everything I needed - he was genuinely a lovely person and I think that shows in how well the albergue was run. The view onto the square was lovely, and despite being very central, it was very quiet (even on a Saturday). I had a great comfortable sleep here, with space to put my belongings. A good temperature and very peaceful. Thank you so much!

Regarding equipmet, this was my best hostel in the Camino starting from Burgos: These people understood, that one cannot undress in the dormitory to go naked to the showerrooms, because there is just nothing to put things to or to hang up your old and new clothes, your shower gel, your towel... They understood that one needs hangers in the dormitory too to hang up (humid) jackets, raincoats... Enough paper towels and also in the toilets. hairdryers... Clean kitchen! Nicer area of the town, good surrounding. And on top: the heating was switched on in the evening - heavenly feeling during cool and rainy days end of April... Thank you for caring and respecting human needs :-)
