¡Ambiente muy amigable! Anfitrión acogedor y te reciben con agua fresca de limón fría. El checkout es un poco más temprano a las 7:45. Dormí en un dormitorio para 4 mujeres y fue muy silencioso. Las puertas se cierran a las 22:00. Las duchas eran un poco básicas - solo cortinas dividiendo el área y sin agua caliente cuando llegué (17:30). Excelente cocina con todo lo que necesitas si quieres cocinar.

Un lugar agradable para alojarse después de un largo día de caminata. El personal fue amable y servicial con muchas sugerencias. Viajo solo y la gente es muy amistosa cuando me dirijo a ellos. Ciertamente recomendaría este albergue a todos los peregrinos y seguiría volviendo ODAAT.

Pros: 10 euros, good kitchen and hand washing stations, hot water in shower, nice volunteers who had cold lemon water on the counter for everyone

Cons: Many squeaky beds in one hot basement room, adjoined to a preschool so children screaming all afternoon, no curtains separating men's showers.

What a wonderful hostel! Beautiful interior, nice staff, clean bathroom and toilets, and a beautiful kitchen/ community area. Big and charming garden with a small pool for saltwater foot baths!

Three very kind and lovely beings. So kind to let us in an hour earlier than posted opening time at 3 pm. We (4) arrived quite early after 6 hrs of non-stop drizzle. Decided to leave our bags in line with one person to stand guard while the other 3 go find lunch. He was allowed inside so he didn't have to stand outside in the rain. The bags remained outside. Kindness much appreciated.

As I was checking in after almost 20 miles of walking… i realized my passport was missing. They helped spread the word on an albergue owners/operator and called the restaurant I had eaten at earlier today. When it was found they helped make it easy to pick up! Forever great full!!

Nice place! Good price! I slept as women in one room alone with 4 more beds and few men stayed in big room.
I took ferry/water taxi in the morning around 8:20. It's better to make reservation online!!! Don't panic, when there is no ferryman,ask lady in kiosk, she can call him.

We asked to stay but the albergue was full. We told the hospitalero we had sleeping mats with us and that we could sleep on the floor in a room where our friends were staying, but he refused due to “safety concerns”.
We were allowed to eat in with our friends, but at 21:30 we were thrown out due to noise complaints nobody submitted (no pilgrim came from the sleeping area), way before silent hour (22:30). Our stuff was in the hostel, but we could not collect it: basically part of our backpack (and shoes) were stolen. Luckily our friends brought it outside, but they were scolded and threatened to be expelled as well. By that time the door was locked as well, preventing anyone from leaving, talking about security…
He advised us to go and sleep with our tent in a city park, where at 3AM sprinklers went off and wetted one of us who was in a hammock

TL;DR unhelpful guy running the albergue almost stole our stuff
