The rooms are smaller, just one bunkbed, and have a sink in them. They were not fully booked, so I ended up with a room all to myself! Highly unusual for an albergue. Dinner and breakfast were excellent, they do have a vegetarian option.

I enjoyed the pilgrims blessing, and I appreciate that the founders of the albergue are focused on serving pilgrims and the underprivileged in their community. I was happy to give them my support.

I really enjoyed this hostel and the warm welcome it offers, as well as the opportunity to share moments with other pilgrims. A beautiful garden, small rooms with few beds, a place to wash up, in short everything a pilgrim needs.

This is a grest camino experience. This albergue is very clean and the facilities are great. They offer a pilgrime meal- 3 course with wine. There is an option to participate in a camino reflection and blessing, this was very special. They also offer breakfast. Definitely stop here.

Excellent dinner, one of the cheapest on the Camino so far. Place is lovely and big and airy, nuns are kind and the optional prayer/meeting was really special. Also the money goes to a great cause. A highlight.

What an incredibly special place. The prayer circle and si ging before, the incredible meals, and the wonderful garden to rest in. I'm so grateful to have gotten to experience this wonderful place.

large spacious garden that was buzzing with pilgrims. good breakfast. inclusive prayer service. 2 bed rooms with sink and clean bathrooms - although there was a shortage of toilet paper as some of the dispensers were broken. still recommend

Reserved my bed and dinner directly on their website https://albergueelconvento.com

Best albergue I’ve stayed in! Very clean, bed super comfortable with crisp white sheets and cosy blanket. Sink in two bunk room and really good showers.

The prayer service was lovely and the communal meal great.

My favorite place on the Norte! Super clean, nice rooms with only two beds in my room. The prayer talk was slow to start but incredibly worth sticking around. Get the food too and relax in the yard. Great washing facilities and space to dry all of your stuff in the yard. Even a guitar to play!! 100% best camino stop! The tourist town is super cute and worth a stop over. The nuns were as kind as could be.
