albergue monterrey

Great albergue! Check in was a breeze. Kitchen doesn’t have a stove, but everything else works well. They do your laundry for 8€ I think it was between 1pm and 6pm. I mentioned I wanted to go to Finisterra, and he walked me through getting the Monbus tickets online and what times to get. There is a little store near by and a hotel with good food down the street. It is farther from the cathedral than I would have liked, after walking 44km, but it’s a quieter area so I appreciate that. Shower were cleaned and stocked, good shower.

The owner Javier is very sweet and helpful. The room has a lot (>20) of beds with only curtains separating them, but you have enough space and a locker. Fine for hostel standards. The hostel is 15 minutes walking from the center, but that makes the location way more peaceful. Worth it in my opinion.

Nice place for a night! Host was very helpful to let me in after 10pm and gave me great instructions on how to get there by bus. Provided sheets, blanket and even a towel! (Rarity in albergues). Check out 9:30 which is pretty good too. Bathrooms weren’t many and not too clean in the morning but that’s more about the pilgrims than of the place :) a bit outside of the center but a nice walk during the day!
