Great and cheap Hostel, a bit outside of the city center. The hostel was originally a kind of a…read moreclinic and opend as a hostel just a few months ago. The rooms are very huge and the staff is absolutely super-friendly - never seen such great staff in a hostel! Only drawback: there is an aircondition instead of windows, which you could open. All in all: Great hostel, which is the money worth!

This is the worst hostel ever. You don't have to take my word for it. Read the comments in the…read moreguest book in the lobby. Even the receptionist in the evening said that his boss won't let him turn on the air conditioner all the time. The air conditioner is only turned on during a few hours in the evening. I was there at the end of June and it was so hot, I had to sleep in the lobby. The windows do not open so there is no hope of a cross breeze. The day=time receptionist was so incredibly unfriendly and treated us like we were a major bother to her. How this place landed in the Brierly guide I'll never know. You've been warned.

I was lucky enough to get in an upstairs room with only 4 bunk beds. (Total 8 person). Such a…read moreluxury. There was another room with double that. Nice communal outdoor space, kitchen, clean bathrooms, and a washer. Next store there's a small cantina serving bocadillo, soup, snacks, beer, and ice cream. They have a nice yard to stretch, sunbathe, or relax in. They do not stay open for dinner. There is a restaurant somewhere close by that people went to or they cooked.

I loved this place. I didn't get the name of the man who worked at the front desk, or maybe owned…read morethe place? But he was incredibly helpful, and friendly. He spoke English, which was nice, and gave me very careful directions to several places! He made sure I had a cab early in the morning to the train station too! The rooms and beds were very clean, the blankets were so comfy, there chargers for each bed, and a closet that locked for each person to store your stuff! There was a nice break room, and you can do your laundry for 6 Euros, including the detergent! I would come back here anytime!

Don't think an Albergue can get any better than this place. Have done 3 caminos and this was…read moreprobably the best because 1. Location Location Location. Just a few blocks from the Cathedral, a block south of a really interesting restaurant that serves a "menu" (same side of the street as the hostal). A block north of a delicious churros/hot chocolate place (Metate), and many other places to eat and drink on the same street. 2. Price. For where it is located it was by far the most inexpensive place around (don't wait until the last minute as it books up quickly) 3. Cleanliness. Pretty good for the number of people going through there. I saw the cleaning person all day/every day 4. Privacy. Only Albergue I stayed in that had privacy doors so you could block off sections of bunkbeds and convert into a private room. Overall...AWESOME!

We stayed at this albergue in O Pedrouzo one night during our Camino pilgrimage. It wasn't the…read moreworst albergue of our trip, but neither was it the best. It has a kind of new age vibe that you get from the images in the lobby area, the signs that are hanging there, and the large terrarium that lets natural light into the sleeping quarters. The place was reasonably clean and we got a decent night's sleep here. The bathrooms, too, were clean. The albergue is located right along the main thoroughfare, close to a convenience store, restaurants, and everything else you could need. One odd feature of this albergue was the rooftop laundry. Once you climb the stairs, there's a small patio area up off the roof where you can handwash your clothing and hang it to dry.
