Albergue A Ponte

Has cooker and plenty of utensils and a fridge, the albergue is super clean, the toilets are nice and the bathrooms too. The beds are comfortable and have real pillows, sheet and blanket. António was very accommodating and super friendly, muchas gracias por tu atención!! They accept bikes without an issue! Overall top albergue for 15 euros in lo camino!

Comfortable beds, services more than fine, hot water. Recommended for sure for other pilgrims on the Northern Route. Buen Camino 💪🏻

I wanted to like this place more because of all the great reviews. The location is good, the woman who greeted us was wonderful, and I want to make sure to say that. I couldn’t get passed how terrible the bunk room smelled, and this was almost four weeks into staying in Albergues so it’s not gear/pilgrims. The smell seemed to be sewage like odor coming from the shower area. We were told we could use the kitchen, when I went in to see what cooking equipment they had, a man kept talking to me in Spanish like I wasn’t allowed to use it, I told him I didn’t understand, and he just kept repeating the same things to me over and over. I just left, we ate out, and the next morning I went to the kitchen to fill my water bottle. Again, he told me no, and told me I needed to use the laundry sink. I told him I wanted to go to the kitchen, and he just kept telling me to use the laundry sink. It just felt uncomfortable. The breakfast - the only difference from other Albergues is that it comes with potato tortilla. The coffee was lukewarm and tasted instant. The cake was so dry that no one at our five person table ate it. It didn’t come with all the items listed (fresh tomatoes and olive oil were no where to be seen except on the advertisement for the breakfast). If you aren’t walking out on a Sunday I’d say take your 4€ to a cafe for tortilla and espresso. Also our 7am breakfast was at 730am as no people working there were in the building until after 7am. It did the trick, but overrated.
