Public Pilgrims' Hostel in Avilés

This hostel was a special case for us. The price is unbeatable and the kitchen is fully equipped, with enough outdoor tables for about twenty people. However, there are far too many people in such a small, poorly ventilated room, creating an unbreathable atmosphere that ruins your sleep. Add to that the unmistakable sound of pilgrims snoring, and I can’t promise you much rest. Don’t count on avoiding a difficult night’s sleep by going out for a drink either: the hostel closes at 10 p.m. and does not allow outside beverages. As for me, I stayed up with other pilgrims until I was exhausted, just to be able to fall asleep in this night-time, odorous chaos. If you arrive early enough, try to stop other pilgrims from drying their clothes indoors, as it makes the air unbearable. The showers also leak a bit onto the bathroom floors, but at such a low price, you can’t really ask for more. Staying here is at your own risk, but it’s still an interesting experience. I’ll let you be the judge.

Great albergue for 10€. Have all the things you need and it was clean. It is one big room for everyone so you need to keep in mind some noise in the night and morning will happen. The guy from reception was nice and very hospitable.

Comfortable bed. They provided a disposable fitted sheet & pillowcase. There were blankets if you got there early. The shower was hot in the morning. Other pilgrims said the water was cold the afternoon before. Check out by 9am
