    Nothing, it’s perfect

    It is the best hostel I ever stayed in. It is very modern and very clean with an amazing host. We loved our stop on the Camino here. It was a pleasant surprise that we got upgraded to a room with a jacuzzi bath, but even the shared rooms and areas were completed to high standards and it is a great value for money. We got breakfast prepared by the host’s mum and it was just the best. I would strongly recommend this place, it won’t disappoint

    Personally, I believe that one big towel per person is really enough. It is a lot of laundry, considering most people just stay one night and not good for the environment. Bedside lamps are very bright and wake others up.

    Basically everything! Cleanliness, proper bedlinen, 2 towels, small terrace, chests of drawers in the rooms, lockers with keys, lovely common area and kitchen, vending machine for cold drinks, modern furniture and fittings, not many beds in dorms, privacy in bathroom, free laundry including dryers, great complimentary breakfast including fresh juice and everything else needed, heating - temperature can be set by the guests individually in the dorms. A really well-designed and sophisticated concept that guarantees you a relaxing and comfortable stay. And last but not least a very caring and friendly owner, Julio, who even offered me an earlier check-in. Thank you very much!

    Nothing, it was exactly what we needed after a rainy day on the Camino.

    Julio was a great host. Very clear check in procedure. He even followed up with us in the evening to ask if we needed anything and he recommended us a restaurant for.dinner. You can tell he takes pride in the hostel and in his work. The facilities were very clean, luxurious and modern. My husband and I booked bunk beds, but Julio was so kind as to move us to a different room with a double bed, which we appreciated. The breakfast was wonderful with a lot of variety, and even homemade cake. A wonderful stay, 10/10!

    The host at Hostel Charino is exceptionally kind and compassionate. During a bike ride with my son, I lost track of him as he sped ahead. I followed the signs towards our destination town, but suddenly realized he might have taken a different turn. In a panic, as he had my phone, documents, and money, I found myself lost too. My main concern was for my son, waiting desperately on the road. I approached a couple for help, they graciously offered me a ride to town and alerted the police about my missing son during our Camino trip to Santiago de Compostela. Meanwhile, my son, waiting for almost two hours, contacted his father in another country who told him to head to the hostel right away, so my son called the owner of Hostel Charino. By the time the couple called the owner, and they knew that my son was en route. Finally reunited with my son at the hostel, I am immensely grateful to the couple and the hostel owner for their assistance. I felt safe and deeply moved by the kindness of the Spanish people, experiencing true hospitality. I felt incredibly fortunate and blessed. I think I met Camino angels there. The hostel owner welcomed us with a beer and provided wonderful accommodations. He also recommended a fantastic restaurant where my son and I enjoyed delicious Spanish meals. The facilities at Hostel Charino are excellent, and the complimentary breakfast, especially the freshly homemade bread and orange juice by his mom was very impressive. His mom felt like my mom. She is so warm hearted and nice. I am now delighted to have discovered this hostel and look forward to visiting Spain again with my entire family, remembering the warmth of humanity whenever I think of the country.

    Julio is a very kind and attentive host. Everything was perfect and exceeded expectations - clean, beautiful and comfortable. The best surprise was the homemade cake baked for the morning. Julio also recommended a very good restaurant nearby, the name of which I won't mention, but it was one of the best food experiences of this trip.
