Perfect location right on the cameno. Basic accommodation for a place to stay while walking the cameno

John, United States of America

Blinds made room completely dark. Quiet. Great location. Laundromat in front of building.

Justin, United States of America

Location was fantastic and upstairs lounge and patio a treat! Hallway lights didnt always work and smell was funky.

Amie, United States of America

Beautiful facility. Big nice bathroom. Fab breakfast. Nicest hosts. Perfect location and stop on Camino

Scott, United States of America

Good location for walking Camino. Staff not very friendly....it was like I was "bothering her".

Denyseb, Canada

Facilities to make a drink and sit and eat own food

Julia, United Kingdom

Laundry facility across the street . But it wasn't made clear to us (and we stayed here 5 years earlier) that the laundry is linked to the accommodation(same ownership?) and that we should address any "reception" type queries there. But the accommodation is superbly situated near to the Museum and the Picasso mural of Guernica and the Assembly Building. It is also more or less on the Camino route and is in the busy Town Hall area where there are restaurants, coffee shops etc. So this is important for the Camino walker! The bedroom accommodation was reasonable good but small and basic. We did feel that this had improved since our previous visit in 2013.

Patrick, Ireland

Excellent communal kitchen/dining room and terraces on the top floor.

Wendy, United Kingdom

location was excellent. Walking the camino, we needed a clean comfortable bed and good shower. it met those needs.

Mary, Ireland

The pension was in a great location. The bed and bath were comfortable, tho the room was stuffy. A fan, ventilador would be most appreciated.

“Well located but basic"value for money" accommodation with automated check- in!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Check in is automated. While we had some difficulty, we had to help several other guests go through the automated check in procedures. Breakfast was a disaster. You purchase products in a vending machine. The coffee was inedible. It was not coffee. Perhaps it was out of date? On the positive side, there is a nice sunroof area where you can relax, just outside the kitchen area.
Laundry facility across the street . But it wasn't made clear to us (and we stayed here 5 years earlier) that the laundry is linked to the accommodation(same ownership?) and that we should address any "reception" type queries there. But the accommodation is superbly situated near to the Museum and the Picasso mural of Guernica and the Assembly Building.

This place was less attractive than I thought it would. You let yourself in using a machine and the rooms are very basic. I don't think we saw anyone else while there.
The location was good. The room was clean.

Warm and stuffy. Needed to open the windows to get fresh air, but then I could hear all the street noise. A floor or table fan would be good to have.

The staff was not in sight. Bed too soft.
An ingenious location of a limited space: All the room functions lumped together in a single "open space." In fact, quite convenient, if one is not too fastidious.

No reception on arrival machine at door to check in after walking eight hour's on the Camino you don't need the bother. The bathroom was in the bedroom with only a screen dividing. The room was clean although there were ants all over the place concluding the bed. The hair dryer had tape on exposed cables.
