Amazing staff

The facilities are clean, modern and spacious, there is a good kitchen. But most importantly the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodation, even with the language barrier. I had a great stay! Cella is a pleasant town and there are local buses to Albarracín and Teruel, which are beautiful. Great value for money.

Good Stay, helpful staff

Staff very helpful. We could cook a meal and managed to get a load of washing done. We booked a 4 bunk room for the 2 of us and it as still fairly cheap. Our bicycles were stored safely overnight.

Nice accommodation

Good locality if you would like to visit Albarracín and its surroundings and looking for cheap and comfortable accommodation (20 min of car ride from Albarracín). Reception is open until 10 pm (22:00), staff is very helpful and despite of the fact lady at the reception desk spoke almost only Spanish, we understood everything. And in doubt Google translator is very useful tool :) Room was very clean, calm, easily equipped with everything we needed, small, but good for one night stay, at the calm place in the city with parking places in the streets around the hotel (safe).

Basic, but efficient and clean. It was ok for one night. The beds are quite comfortable. We had heat in the room and thick drapes on the windows. There are two bathrooms on the floor, for men/ women, but very clean. On the ground floor there is a well-equipped kitchen and dining area. The building is equipped with an elevator.

Shame no air con as place clean and comfortable

Friendly welcome, helpful and useful information, good power and temperature on shower, useful to be able to store food in fridge and freezer. Clean sheets. A communal terrace area next to our room was nice to use in the morning to sit outside.

A very welcome place to stay after cycling through a very strong headwind! Very clean, very welcoming staff and comfortable beds. We slept in the dorm, although there were only 5 people the night we stayed. A great kitchen area and plenty of space to sit and eat or plan the next day. We were able to store our bikes inside in a specific area set aside.

I arrived at 10pm and was the only person in the dorm room. Really friendly staff on check-in that made me feel very welcome despite my limited Spanish. Very clean, and great facilities. Quiet location.

Great Albergue if you are walking the Camino del Cid

One of the most resourceful Municipal Albergues I’ve encountered. Great staff and all the facilities were immaculately clean.

The reception manager despite not sharing the same language made every effort for me arriving late. We spoke via translate app and as I arrived late she helped me explore options to eat around town. As it was a Monday night in the winter and there wasn't many options open, she even offered to take something from her home. Such kindness doesn't easily get forgotten. On top of that I was the only person in the hostel so she put me into a nice room. Thank you so much.

Good value

The girl who received us was extremely kind and very helpful. The room was very clean, the temperature was on point and the location is good, only 20 minutes away from Teruel and 25 from Albarracín. For the price we paid we couldn't ask for more.
