    The private room was so cold! It is shoulder season and I arrived drenched. The room was very cold and I tried to ask about heat, but there is no heat and end of conversation. I guess, I just needed a little kindness. They cater to pilgrims, so heat on a cold rainy day is simple as well as something like newspaper to dry shoes. There were extra blankets, but soo cold!!!! It took me all afternoon to warm up in bed and all my clothes were still cold and wet overnight in the room.

    On the Camino.

    Room was small, one double bed and a single. Better to have had two single beds and free up some space. Only one charging outlet.

    It was on the Camino path so easy to locate. There is a bar next door, believe part of the hostel. Good staff. Made up a meal for us, not on the menu, but because we asked . For that alone it made my Camino.

    On a very noisy street and the lights came there threw the window but you need the window open for air flow so it was very hard to sleep.

    On the Camino and very close to a restaurant and stamp place!

    The hostel is next to a highway and it can be loud. The air is not moving in the room even when the window is open. It was too easy to hear the neighbours. The place would need a bit of renewal.

    The location was perfect for the night before reaching Santiago.

    The WiFi was very week. The signal was dropped so many times I stopped trying to connect to my email. The bar below was in a good location on the Camino affording a place to watch for my friends passing by. The bartender/waitress was sullen and unhappy, she wasted no energy welcoming visitors.

    There was no breakfast. The room was not at the advertised place but over a bar 50-100 meters back up the camino.

    Building is old without any kind of isolation, so you can hear everything. There is a bar - coffeee- restaurant under and you can hear every discussion or movement. Also you can hear every single sound from the other room. This is really unpleasant.

    The person who welcoming us was very nice and warm. He speaks good English and communication was easy. We find the place easy and the contact was nice and present. Check in was fast . The beds were comfortable also. The room was nice, but a bit overpriced.

    Just by a main road, bar on the ground floor gets a bit noisy in the late evening (until midnight). Not a big issue, I slept well.

    Cheap and fine option for overnight stay and last stamp on the Camino just before the Santiago de Compostela. Good beds, clean bathroom, easy check-in and -out. Ideal location for the last leg of El Camino. Would stay again.

    Right on the main road so it is very noisy.

    It was right on the trail, good price, clean and convenient. There is a cafe downstairs so good for afternoon arrival and early morning departures to continue camino walk to Santiago.

    We were told by staff that the room had no heat. It was cold in the room ,the bathroom we were shown was very small as was the room to sleep in We were cold and wet and tired and we just wanted to get warm. We ended up moving to a different hotel. When I told this to the owner, she said their were heaters available. It ended up costing us 100 euros for 2 hotels.

    Location on the main road, no good restaurant around, facilities wearing down andneeds updating, No shops around but the petrol station which has limited selection. And located next to a gentlemen’s club which you can hear music playing int the middle of the night and people talking which messed up our sleep.

    Bed mattress comfy

    We refused to stay in initial accomodation as the beds were dirty and it was in a grotty building overlooking a strip club with dubious looking other guests wondering around in their underwear.

    On arrival we complained and were relocated to another lovely pension in a nearby village, so it all turned out for the best.
