It’s 16€ per bed and night now and in my opinion not worth it.

Casa Molar had no hot water. So had to take a cold shower as I was the first one there.

Came downstairs to get something to eat and was told they did not open the kitchen until 700. I told them about the water being frigid cold. They apologized and turned the boiler back on.

Came back 30 minutes later and they told me they had closed the kitchen. This was from me sitting at a table outside.

It was obvious from the earlier interact ok na about getting a drinks that the workers don't want to work.

I asked for the complaint book and the lady got irate with me.

I told her I would not be spoken to like this and left to get something to eat. She refused to provide me a complaint form. So I filled it out online.

The next morning the private rooms that are for pilgrims were seen to be occupied by the women working here.

So when they tell you there is no private rooms available this is why.

Any issues I suggest asking for a complaint form and if they do not provide one go online and file a complaint.

Only one bathroom (combined shower and toilet) for all 18 beds. Only half full on May 22. Beds not super comfortable but slept well. No bedbugs

I contacted the albergue several days in advance asking for two beds in the shared room on a certain date. We arrived, and the couldn’t initially find our reservation until I spotted my name down for the wrong date. Not only that, they had us in a double room, not in the bunk room. Luckily they would fit us in still that day, but we were still in the double room - just a double bed, not a twin option. Everything was fine, but I’m not sure I would be in a rush to stay again.

The place is clean enough, and no bedbugs, but the dorm is very old and so are the bunk beds. It takes quite a bit of balance and courage to go in the top bunk, and the whole thing is squeaking when you turn around. You can also feels the springs from the mattress. Another lady said she saw a mouse in the dorm, but I didn’t see or hear anything to be fair. Probably wouldn’t stay here again, but don’t be afraid to if you must

Okish place to stay
Beds already made - made me a bit suspect! Slept on top in my sleeping bag as usual
€15 for bed, €16 for dinner (it was also ok, nothing special) can pay by card
2 young girls left the place after seeing made up beds etc
Shower ok - only 1 for 11 beds (in our room) must have live in staff that use the other shower/toilet room, it was soon locked so we only had the one.
I don't recommend

Despite our lack of Spanish, the owner showed good humour and welcomed us. We managed to get a double room, hot showers, laundry done and a hearty pilgrim meal. Room and food was great value.

We woke up 4am in the dorm with the bed full of bedbugs. We immediately left the room and took our stuff outside. While sitting outside and making a plan, everyone else in the room was also leaving. They all had bedbugs in their beds.

We considered waiting until the owner was showing up in morning. But based on a google review we found about the owner not taking it seriously, we preferred to walk and have time to get everything fixed when when we arrived.
