“Buen Camino”
The location was great with shops and restaurants nearby. The café where the reception is located is lovely and had one of the best coffees I had on the Camino. It was perfect for those walking the Camino. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The microwave in the room was a great addition.

Friendly staff. Comfortable room. There was even a little patio area outside the tomm where I could sit and relax. Good choice of breakfast menu. I have to admit that from the outside it looked rather grim but once inside that impression vanished.

“Good”
The placel has a good location and the room, while simple and basic, was clean and comfortable. The shower was also clean and bright, which was a nice plus. The only downside was the unpleasant smell in the stairwell leading up to the second floor. Thankfully, the room itself smelled fine. Despite that, the price was reasonable and overall, the stay was comfortable.

Check in in the cafe went very smooth. The rooms were very clean and smelled very clean too and we really appreciated the small balcony so we could sit outside. There was also a fridge and a microwave!
