    The heating didn't work in our room.

    The Brazilian hostess was lovely. She was very inviting. The room was clean and tidy. There was breakfast included and there was a lovely bakery near by.

    A bit out of the city center, but nothing important

    Great private room for a very good price. The hostel is nice and really enjoyed the breakfast. The girl working there has a super nice vibe.

    Unable to secure the window in order to enable daylight to enter the room. It's a ten minute walk to the centre of the town.

    Spacious room, comfortable bed, very clean, made to feel welcome by friendly staff. Quiet, despite my room facing the bus station behind the building. Good breakfast.

    A little way out of town but worth the walk!

    Lovely welcome from Louisa, she made me coffee and gave me the most beautiful Camino stamp. Room comfortable if a little cold, I could have used the heater😊 Shared bathroom clean and lovely hot water. Breakfast good

    Location a bit of a trek uphill from the Camino & town centre. OK suburb but not handy.. Not exactly scenic (being above a tyre shop). Shower tray rather slow to drain.

    Extremely warm welcome from a lovely young woman who offered a choice of 2 different types of credencial stamp for Camino pilgrims. Save for the lack of en suite bathroom this felt more like a hotel than my recollections of hostels. I stayed in a very modern comfortable twin bed room with its own TV with lots of foreign channels. I slept very well. Ladies bathroom next door very clean and I never had to wait. (One at a time to enter bathroom which had 2 x shower cubicles & 2 x toilets). They even provide bathrobes as well as towels! Decent breakfast selection including oats & cereals, yoghurts, fruit, cake, bread, ham, cheese, juice, tea & coffee. Kitchen their for those self-catering.

    The road is too loud, you will definitely need ear plugs or anything else. There is only 1 toilette for men in the whole building ;)

    Nice small hostel not far from the old town. Bars, supermarktes are nearby, not any restaurants I have seen.

    The shower did not drain so it was a bit gross standing in the dirty pool of water. It’s not so close to the old town and the walk back at night is on quiet streets and off a roundabout near the hostel.

    I stayed in a private room as the dorm was full. I was pleasantly surprised that a robe and individual bathmat were provided, also a floor fan. There was also a tv which I didn’t use. Although both the men & women’s bathrooms had 2 shower, 2 toilet stalls, guests were told that it’s private single use and we could lock the door, so the privacy was appreciated. Breakfast was plentiful with bread rolls, ham, cheese, cereal, fruit, yogurt.

    Nothing. A bit of a hike up the hill if you’re a pilgrim. But worth it!

    This place is all about the traveller. so welcoming, comfortable, clean and beautiful.
