Nice location in a modern building, not far from the beach. Alas, I spent a terrible night with little sleep. Some of it (heavy snoring of another guest) may be inherent in the hostel experience, but some may have been avoided a) if the reception had not put all 4 guests in a single room but had opened at least a second room (three entire rooms were empty), i.e. put customer satisfaction over a little extra cleaning effort, and b) if the bunk beds were of top standard (like in some other modern hostels, e.g. individual cabins with curtains etc.), which they were not. As all bottom-level beds in that room were taken, I only had the choice of a top-level bed. Which was a problem because in these beds you feel every single movement of the person below (or above) you. Hence both the guy below me and myself spent a restless night. The restaurant was excellent (separate review...
Read moreGreat albergue. I had a good stay there. It’s close to a paradisiac beach; and the place is so clean and luminous. I loved it. The only thing which i didn’t liked was the Poke bowl: it was more a salad than a Poke, and it was not that good, honestly. Otherwise i loved everything in that place, and i highly recommend it.

Read moreEl albergue menos albergue del Camino. Si eres peregrino tendrás que pagar 30€ por una cama, porque el resto te saldrá muy caro. No se puede traer bebida o comida de fuera en ninguna zona para que pagues 3,90€ por una cerveza o 12€ por un plato de pasta, y lavar la ropa te sale por 8€. No siquiera te piden la credencial.
En mi caso, había sufrido las picaduras de las chinches/pulgas, y esto desató el pánico. Si en un principio obtuve comprensión para pasar una noche después de lavar toda mi ropa, al final el dueño me hizo saber que "no me hubiera dejado quedarme en el albergue" de haberme atendido él, para después decirme que aún así me podía quedar, cosa que no hice para una segunda noche.
El dueño dudó de mi condición de peregrino por acortar las dos últimas etapas a pesar de que llevaba más de 200kms en las piernas desde Donosti y mi amigo tuvo que ir al hospital por una infección.
En definitiva, si eres peregrino, mejor no vayas. Si vas a pasar un fin de semana en una zona muy bonita y te quieres ahorrar los hostels surferos de alrededor,...
