Super lovely - highly recommend!

The couple who own it are absolutely lovely! It has a really homey and comfortable feeling. They also make sure the upstairs where the rooms are is kept dark enough that sleeping early isn't a problem. They also have tight hygiene standards and a delicious breakfast!

Pre-camino great accommodation. Very welcoming.

The owner, Sandrine was absolutely delightful. Nothing was too much trouble. Our evening meal was a delicious and cooked in-house by Sandrine. It was a good size. For a hostel, everything was good. It was a good location for the night before we started walking the camino.
