“One night in the Camino”
I was walking the Camino Frances. This accomodation was ideal for an afternoon and night. Very central to supermarkets and laundromats. Can be a little noisey at times but all good to spend the night.

The lady that welcomed me and my dog was very nice. Pet-friendliness is why we decided to stay there. The building is beautiful, the location is perfect, they also have a washing machine and a dryer on premises. Everything was clean as well.

“Impressive old with history in all walls!”
We were on camino and early in the morning passed by closed door and I was feeling it is old monastery rebuilt to expensive hotel. We had to return because of health problem, booked hostel and happy to find it was the same building. It was not exclusive but it was impressive old with history in all walls! Fantastic feeling, we could relax in impressive walkway and prepare for next camino day. Recommend. it has everything for comfortable night on camino.

“Central, comfortable and good value”
Old Monastery/Church building in centre of town, near everything. Very quiet at end of October. Late checkout, good to get a longer rest on Camino. Warm was well heated, as it was cold outside. Good value.
