    The host was very friendly. The common area was nice and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely! Great location next to the bus and train stations. It had everything I needed and every area was clean. A hair dryer and peanut butter are luxuries on the Camino!

    Really enjoyed our stay at this wee hostel, the staff were great, especially Angel who was very helpful. Nice common room, free breakfast, think the only thing that'd be nice to have was a hand dryer in the bathroom. It's a great location, just across the street from both train and bus station (that's where the airport ends and starts too). Easy enough to walk everywhere but also easy to use buses if needed. There's a supermarket right next to it as well.

    A little noisy. But that is because of the buzz!

    This place is superb. It is not only for pilgrims, but so what. The owner/host is an absolute star. He goes way beyond the necessary to ensure a good stay.

    the usb sockets weren’t working (they kindly gave me adapter to use) but that meant couldn’t use light by bed. nothing major but would be good if fixed.

    great location, lovely and clean, common area/bedrooms/bathrooms all well designed. liked that you got own keys to come & go. stored luggage on last day due to late flight.

    I loved my stay there, just the showers were annoying because you had to push a button and the water was off again after 30s. Not good if you want to wash your hair!!

    The atmosphere in the hostel is really nice. The staff is super friendly and it feels very welcoming The location is good and the facility clean and comfortable!

    Everything was great. The hostel is furnished perfectly and it has great, funky personality (like its host). Facilities were functional, with lot of space and always clean. The position is strategic being next to the central bus station and having a supermarket right downstairs. Angel is a great and attentive host, always ready to help, suggest but also to have a chat. Sometimes he has volunteers helping, which are great to socialise with! Recommend 200%!

    Small and awkward showers.

    Hostel is close to many restaurants, cafes, shops, grocery stores, and across the street from the bus station. A short walk will take you to the waterfront. The vibe is relaxing. The social room is a great place to chat with others and the kitchen had a working stove to make meals. (An added bonus.) Friendly staff, a long with clean showers and bathrooms (the showers were a bit awkward though) offered a great experience.

    It's not listed properly on Google maps. The showers could have detachable shower heads.

    The staff were absolutely fantastic. Very caring and patient. The location was very central and meters away from both the bus and train stations. The decorations in the hostel are absolutely fantastic. The decor in the living room / kitchen could tell a thousand stories. And in the reception there are loads of maps and informational posters about the local area, the Camino routes, what to see in the city.
