    I wish there were more toasters for that really prolonged the breakfast

    The room was well lit and clean separate beds and place to charge electrals. The bathroom was clean adn a goo dsize with good water pressure. The shared spaces had thoughful seating and airy. One coudl be there alone or with people. The dining hall was large and alowed for many to eat and talk if they wished. The breakfast offering was generous

    It would be difficult to change anything

    A very good place to stay. Great breakfast including cheese, cold cuts and fruit. Perfect location in the city center and close to the ocean. Grocery stores nearby. The service was very nice and friendly.

    Jesus is a great host. He let us in at one and he let us have a room with 6 beds. Although the 6 of us were not in a group he housed in a 6 bed unit. It was enjoyable as this is the group I finished the Camino with

    Power outlets in lounges are in the floor and only have a small space to push plug into hole so they didn't fit with my adapter. There were only a couple of power outlets in the bunkroom and you had to be in the room whilst charging as you had to put your door access swipe card in the thing on the wall to make power outlets and lights work. Hot water only from hand basins (no cold tap). Shower and bathroom lights go off whilst in shower. Shower water also on a timer. Moldy shower but bunk room and sheets seemed clean.

    Recently renovated so that this former palace is now trendy and modern. Great breakfast provided (fresh fruit, bread rolls, butter, jams, ham, cheese, 3 types of cereal, toast, juice, tea, coffee, hot chocolate). Towels provided. Wifi good. Kitchen has cooktop, fridge and microwave. Spacious bunkroom. Quiet location. Stable construction bunk and comfortable bed. Great location (close to info centre, 5 blocks from camino path). Duvet provided. Used luggage transfer service to and from this location and it worked well.

    The shared lounge is a great place to relax! Beautiful building! Close to shops and the beach.

    Nothing really

    We loved our stay here. I had booked a private double room with a private bathroom. Both the bedroom and bathroom were a good size. We found the bed itself very comfortable and had a great night's sleep. The building was amazing. It retained many of the original features - large open and light spaces with tall ceilings. The breakfast provided was great - although there was a bit of a bottleneck at the coffee machine that brewed individual cups of coffee. The coffee was good but you had to wait a while for it.

    Our group had to separate males females. They didn't take age and group into consideration. Two males should have been across from one another instead of across from strangers. One female was in sixties and put on top bunk when bottom ones were open and was denied when requested to be moved. Made no sense. Poor management decisions. This coming from myself owning a hostel

    Cleanliness. Great location

    All good, so near to the sea as well.

    Location perfect, really clean (you could literally eat your dinner off the floor)and secure hostel, a great stop on the caminho pola Costa.the building itself Is so faithfully restored and beautiful. Great vibe in the place, the lads behind the counter were sound out. Great to still see a kitchen ,helps with the spreading of general Joy. Great alberque.

    Each shower cubicle needs a hook for wash bag & small shelf for shampoo etc. Coffee machine adds sugar to drinks when NOT wanted. More outside drying racks and clothes pegs needed.

    The door to my dorm room does not shut quietly when closing it from the outside. Sometimes I would get woken up when someone went outside the room in the middle of the night or early morning.

    Good stop for a night while on the camino. Check in was fast and reception staff friendly. Included breakfast was good.

    When I asked about a place nearby to buy groceries, I was directed to a very expensive wine bar and specialty food item boutique store just a couple of doors down, whereas I learned subsequently that there was a much less expensive and open grocery store within a ten minute walk. It was difficult to find a simple place to eat and grab a beer nearby after a difficult day of trudging through the sand and more rickety boardwalk than expected, so the location was a bit limiting for me. I'd still stay there in the future, but would be better prepared, having mapped out the more affordable grocery store in advance.

    Thank goodness I'd made a reservation, as it was fully booked by the time I arrived, and other pilgrims were being turned away. The all female dorm with lockers and plenty of room to organize my things; the lovely kitchen, dining, and living room areas were spacious and enjoyable; the modern twist on a beautiful old building; well done!
