Hostel 2300 Thomar

Amazing hostel honestly the bathrooms here are unbelievable taking hostel standards to a level I have never seen before...the free breakie is absolutely what is upppp and the terrace omg the terrace if only I knew I would have just loved there forever. Staff also super chill

Good place to stay as a pilgrim on the Camino. Rooms were a bit stuffy and there is no air conditioning but they do provide a fan which does the trick. Kitchen was very well equipped, I saw another group staying there made a whole pasta dinner. The fridge is pretty slow at cooling things though, and there is no freezer. Breakfast spread is nice and the fresh bread delivered daily is very good. Shower stalls are great but some shower heads don’t stick to the wall. Good value for the amenities.

Superb location: on the main road of the old town, close to the central square and few minutes from the Convent. The rooms are good; the only problem is that when keeping the window open to make air flow, a lot of noise comes from the street, since it is the main one of the old town (with a restaurant right next to the hostel and shops around). But by keeping the window closed, air does not circulate, and it becomes hard to breathe. As for the cleanliness, the hostel is pretty good generally. BUT, as I lay down to rest, I see that the mattress above me (there are bunk beds in dorms) has a very bad-looking plot l, looking like originated from blood or... Well, it is brownish, so...😅Another bed looked like having a dirty plot as well... But, again, for the rooms, kitchen, toilets, etc. the hostel is good. There is one thing that I did not particularly like. As I was checking-in with a friend of mine, I -with all the good intentions- said that we still had to pay. For the next two minutes, the man looked astranged by what I said. "Of course, you booked by call, not by Booking, how could you pay?". I was telling him that I thought he forgot, as it looked like the check-in was over. But we were both mumbling and uttering words, and I felt like he was trying to make me feel dumb. I just wanted to pay, and told him "Yes, it was dumb" (even if I did it to not to cheat, but because I was seriously thinking he had forgotten). But he kept on mocking on me. I did not like it. At first, he thought it was a question, since he said "Why do you even ask?"; but he kept on going and going on like if I had done something horrible. Later, we chatted a bit about the Caminho and he showed us the hostel, but I really did not like those two minutes in which he was pretty rude.
