La Credencial Hostel

I stayed at this albergue at the end of my Camino and was very disappointed. The service was awful from the moment I arrived. The receptionist, a woman with dark brown hair, was incredibly rude and dismissive, making me feel unwelcome after a long and exhausting journey. Basic courtesy was completely lacking, and any questions I asked were met with impatience or outright hostility. On top of this, we were unable to leave our bags in the ample free space in the alburge even though our flight was well after check out time. After walking hundreds of kilometers, this was not the kind of reception I expected. I would not recommend this place to any fellow pilgrim.

Worst hostel experience after 13 days of doing Camino. The beds are extremely uncomfortable , all three of us had back pain. The room was cold and the heater didn’t work. The bathrooms are very uncomfortable to use, small and stuffy with doors that open inward- the showers turn off by themselves and you can’t regulate the water temperature. The room locks are loud. And it’s 20 minute walk from the center. Would avoid if possible.

There is a nice and clean kitchen, the rooms are spacious and clean and the beds are comfortable. The staff is super friendly. When we arrived there they welcomed us kindly and showed us our rooms. Later they told us that there was a room left which was pretty much empty (one other girl stayed there) and offered us to change the room. We only stayed there one night and when we noticed that we lost something in the hostel we called them and they patiently helped us out. They even sent us photos of what we were missing and later shipped it to the address we sent them:) Thank you so much!
