“Had the potential to be a pleasant albergue but spoilt by the holiday makers.”
The property location was good. The curtains across the cubicles was nice for a little extra privacy

“Great Albergue”
Clean, comfortable, having air conditioning in an Albergue on a warm day was a big bonus. You do need to ask for them to turn the air conditioning on, which they do happily. Privacy curtains for bunk areas much appreciated.

“Bad experience as bitten by bed bugs”
Be warned. There is bed bug. We stayed in this Albergue on 24/06/25. After checking in and when we tried to fit the mattress cover, we found a bedbug on the cover, we reported this to the host and she took away the infested cover and gave us a new set, she also reallocated us to a new cube block so she could treat the infested area. However, as we were more concerned, we checked the new beds and found another bedbug hiding in the bed’s zipper cover. We killed this bug and once again reported to the host. The host used insect spray to spray the bed and locker, and we checked thoroughly to make sure there were no more bugs. We thought we might have done enough and slept through the night. Unfortunately when we woke up, two of us got bitten badly. I believe the whole dormitory is infested and needs to be treated, I think by the fact we found two bed bugs in two cube blocks, there could be bugs traveled from nearby beds and bit us.

“Great camino stop”
Great location on the camino. The supermarket is across the road and the albergue kitchen well equipped, so I used it as was very tired after a wet day walking. I got a friendly welcome from the owner, a very nice lady. Even got a bed that wasn't a bunk as it was very quiet. Great value. Only issue for me was I didn't find the shower water hot enough. Otherwise a fantastic albergue!

The Albergue had bed bugs and I have been bitten many times. I exited my bed at 3am .I did speak to the owner and he says he appreciated being advised and would ensure the necessary precautions are carried out. I'm sorry but as a customer I do not expect to be the litmus test for whether controls in the Albergue are suitable or not.

Right as you enter the town which is great after a long day's walking. Plenty bars/restaurants nearby. A big dorm but all bunks are sectioned off into little cubby's so you have plenty privacy. Showers were brilliant always hot and good water pressure.

I don’t really understand why this has so many good ratings, water was cold for shower and clothes washing, no good place to hang clothes - clothes still wet this morning, 46 beds in one room in sections, just hidden behind curtains.
