Så venlige værter, der gav os vin og andet godtøj, mens vi slappede af på det udendørs område. Godt pilgrimsvibende og på en placering tæt på supermarkeder og restauranter. Det blev lidt varmt om natten, fordi værelset var lidt fyldt, men atmosfæren gjorde det godt igen. 10/10!

Jeg skrev email på forhånd for at spørge, om de ville være åbne på søndag den 4. januar, og de svarede via email, at de var åbne. Jeg skrev tilbage og lod dem vide, at jeg ville komme omkring kl. 21 - men jeg endte med at komme omkring kl. 20. Ifølge Google Maps lukker de ikke før kl. 21:30. Naboerne så mig sidde fast udenfor og ringede til forvalteren, men tilsyneladende var der ingen i bygningen den dag. Det var en frustrerende oplevelse. Jeg ved, at det er på donationsbasis, men man ville forvente, at et albergue for pilegrims ville være lidt bedre styret, eller hvis de har lav kapacitet, burde de bare lukke i ferien. Naboerne måtte hjælpe mig, fordi der ingen måde er at kontakte dem uden for email, og jeg endte med at skulle tage et hotelværelse, der var over mit budget.

Vinterkejsere skal advares om at komme godt før nattetid eller blot booke et andet sted

Albergue situated in the centre of beautiful Barcelos. There is one room with bunk-beds upstairs. Downstairs you have restroom, showers, and kitchen. We actuallz didn’t expect much because it was for free, but it was very nice place, clean and with cozy atmosphere.

We could drop in, even before the check in. The lady showed us around and assigned our beds. Meaning, we could have a shower, wash our clothes and chill, even before the daughter came to register us.
Cool place, nice common area, has a kitchen, and the sleeping hall at least gave some sense of private space, although you will be kept awaken by all the snoring people.

It’s great that they accept reservations.. and provide some blankets
Otherwise.. there is only one shower place which you can share with another person 😬.. no shower cabins
And the garden is very small compared to the other albergues so far.
Barcelos is a lovely city

It is a donativo albergue. Showers are ok, hot water. Kithen is fine, but not really for big cooking. Small garden, so you can put your clothes out to dry. Paper sheets provided.
Lady is normally in the cafe next door, so tricky to get in, also if you leave for some shopping or dinner, not easy to get in, sometimes ringing the bell and another pilgrim is opening. Otherwise ok. Barcelos is a lovely city, i loved it more than Porto.

This is a lovely central Albergue. 20+ beds downstairs and upstairs. 3 mattresses in what I call "The Coffin", a low down space. Handy for those struggling to find a place to stay. Good toilets and hot showers. A place to hand wash and hang your clothes. A roomy kitchen area if you feel like cooking. 👍. Love this Albergue.

It’s a good location and nice courtyard. The shower was warm and they had blankets. There was WiFi too.

Definitely not open as of today 29th March 2024. Don't go there, looks like a building site.. Got lucky with Top'Otel, got a room at short notice.

It can get a bit crowded upstairs. We were lucky enough to stay in a smaller room downstairs. But it’s very clean, nice showers and bahrooms, with a spacious common area, kitchen, laundry, and a sunny patio where you can hang your clothes to dry. Very pleasant stay.
