Very bad place, the worst Albergue I have ever stayed in. Although it is a donation, the minimum donation is 10 euros, but it is only worth 3 euros. The bed is placed in the kitchen, it is dirty and old, it is almost broken, everyone's bed is making noises, making it difficult to sleep. The hygiene is poor, the bathroom has a bad smell. The most important thing is that the owner is terrible. At 10 o'clock in the evening, the guests were asleep, and the hostess was still chatting loudly and using the kitchen water in the sleeping room. Everything here has to be paid extra, storage cabinets. Washing machine, Wi-Fi is only 10kb speed and cannot be used. There are jars for you to donate everywhere. The owner wants to make money so much, he should go to work. The most outrageous thing is that I took my backpack to the corridor before dawn in the morning, I was having breakfast, I didn't bother anyone. But the hostess came directly and turned off the corridor lights and opened the door for me to go out. It was dark and cold outside. I had paid 10 euros for the room, but the owner didn't let me use the lights. It was a terrible night, bad smell, snoring, bed noise, rude hostess, I just want to leave and tell you not to stay here

The alberque was great. It is donativo style. There are around 40 beds, the usual bunk bed types, but they were comfortable and clean. There is a female and male bathroom, it was clean as well, it had hot water. There is also a little kitchen area available. Next to it there are restaurants that offer pilgrim discount. Overall perfect stay for pilgrims walking the Camino del Norte.
