7Verified guest“The hostel sits right on the French Camino route, so you can cheer on pilgrims for the final stretch. Staff were friendly and let us stay beyond check-out, and the place was clean with towels and proper sheets provided.”
7Verified guest“I booked this place out of necessity, but it turned out great. The room was spacious with separate areas for privacy. It's a bit outside the centre, but easy to reach with nice cafés and a supermarket nearby. Staff were incredibly understanding, letting me wait in the lobby for a late flight. Clean, well-maintained, and welcoming—I'd recommend it.”
