It’s a nice stop for backpackers along the journey. It’s in a small town with not a lot to do

Clean, comfortable and well-equipped hostel. Ideal for WHW walkers. Close to the village but in a pleasant spot by the river. Tea and coffee provided.

El personal es atento y amable, la cocina y comedor para compartir están limpias y bien equipadas. No me gusto que la habitación era excesivamente austera, una sola silla, nada de armario o estanterías mas allá de unas perchas, en el aseo ni siquiera había donde dejar el neceser.

Good hostel but a bit dated. Clean and friendly staff. Great location. Room didn’t even have a table to put things down on, which seems small but the room was just really impractical. I would stay again but they need to put a bit more thought into their rooms.
