Albergue Parroquial Apóstol Santiago

El Acebo

Description and Notice

Géré par la même organisation que l'albergue de Ponferrada, celui-ci est considérablement plus petit et plus agréable. Elle dispose d'un beau patio ensoleillé (on croise les doigts) avec un arbre Acebo (houx) au milieu.

Les hôtes étaient accueillants et sympathiques, le dîner était délicieux et nous avons regardé un magnifique coucher de soleil. Mais pendant la nuit, j'ai trouvé deux punaises de lit dans mon lit. Les matelas sont recouverts de plastique, mais les vieux lits superposés en bois sont un paradis pour les punaises de lit pour se cacher. J'ai averti les hôtes mais ils n'en avaient pas vraiment cure. Tout cet Albergue semblait un peu sale et négligé. À éviter !

I believe there are political issues happening in El Acebo. I was disappointed that it was closed. They are having problems getting hospitalaros , and seem to be open only every second week. Also not allowed to cook communal dinner apparently because local restaurants complain. Or something like that. Bummer

The albergue is definitely open as of May 31, 2025.

I agree with the review from April 2025. Recommended for pilgrims seeking a traditional Camino experience.

When I arrived in el acebo in May 2025, there was a sign outside that said “cerrado hasta nuevo aviso”

I can confirm there are no bed bugs, the mattresses have the plastic covers so they cannot be in the beds.
There is no communal meal which is a shame, but breakfast of toast and coffee is provided to send you on your way, And the restaurant at another albergue a minute away is good. A very good burger, fries and a beer for 12 euro or the 3 course meal with wine or beer for 15 euro. And with 5 good choices for every course so better than most pilgrims menus. Nice hospitalieero who took us to watch the sunset over the mountains. Which is the best bit of the stay

Stayed here last night. Hospitalero was very sweet and helped me out with some new blisters I had. However- this morning I woke up with a bite on my arm and some pilgrims on the trail told me they had found bed bugs.

DO NOT STAY HERE. We saw a review saying there were be bugs, so we asked the hospitalero. Not only did he say there were no beg bugs, he got angry at us for asking and told us it was insulting and we could stay elsewhere if we wanted. He said "would it be open if there were bed bugs??" Later in the evening a pilgrim found bed bugs! She also said that it was clear that he had tried to prevent them using powder. So it seems he lied to us. At least he gave us our €5 back...

Camino de Sant…

I loved this albergue, it's small and there was one hospitalero who was funny and friendly. We cooked and ate dinner together, it's a lovely community atmosphere.

This is a really nice hostel. Dorms are wooden and sectioned off so it doesn’t feel like one big room. You have to leave your large backpack downstairs which really isn’t a problem. Mattresses are good, shower is powerful and there is a large garden for clothes hanging, relaxing, etc. Breakfast and dinner are included. WiFi is strong.
