Very clean, good room, beeds too narrow. The worst is that the bathroom had a problem with its venting. We had to keep the bathroom door closed to keep the fumes in.

Overpriced and just plain rude.
I haven’t left many a bad review and feel awful doing so so I’ll keep it concise. Definitely overpriced but I needed to stay somewhere with a reception for luggage transfer on the Camino...the place itself is doable, not great but eh...life goes on. Minimal and outdated but if you need to crash you get over things quickly.
The owner was the biggest problem here. She’s older and I hate to contribute to potentially hurting her business but never have I ever been treated so poorly...I speak mediocre Spanish at best but I’ve gotten by just fine in any country I’ve visited. I try my best and use a translating app if all else fails. All I’ll say, I got a bang bang bang on my door just before 10 am the day I was meant to check out...followed by her just screaming to hurry up in Spanish she wouldn’t let up to the point that I left the door open, took a couple moments to collect my belongings...upon getting downstairs I showed her that the check out time was 1130...I believe she then said I could stay but I was too upset and already on my way.
Use your best judgment. Sometimes you just need a place to crash. I’m sure it would’ve been better if I were fluent in Spanish.
I booked and paid online. When I arrived, the owner told me they had no reservation for me and refused to accept my email confirmation leaving me with no where to stay.
This place was clean and it had a small bath, but otherwise I was disappointed. The room door jammed and was very difficult to open, close and lock. Check in was very lengthy and the wifi was not working (and was one the main reason I booked it). Location is on the Camino and one block from the beach.

Friendly and value for money
If you want to sit by the pool and entertain the kids for two weeks then give it a miss. However, if you want a clean room and bathroom, friendly staff look past the exterior and give it a go. I booked for two nights while passing through and ended up staying for three. Value for money. Will definitely stay again!
Nur kaltes Wasser nach einem Trip von 20 km Fußmarsch geht gar nicht, und dann für 60€ ohne Frühstück. Da hilft auch ein netter Mann am Empfang nicht viel.
Pension muy ruidosa. Llegamos como ponía, a las 12, y las habitaciones no estaban listas. En la web ponia que saliamos a las 11:30 y en los carteles de alli ponia que a las 11 o cobraban un plus.. Muy decepcionante en general.

Caminho de Santiago
No geral correu bem.
É um alojamento simples. Tudo muito limpo, excepto o tapete do lado da cama.
Sentia-se um "cheirinho a esgoto" na casa de banho, por falta de sifão em alguma das louças.
Serviu o propósito para quem faz o Caminho de Santiago, mas considero caro na relação preço/qualidade.
O alojamento precisava de obras para um melhor atendimento

La llegada fue decepcionante mal señalizado y al haber 2 escaleras que suben a la planta de la habitacion que nos tocaba, fuimos a una de las escaleras en lo cual habia 3 perros, los cuales permanrcian en dichas escaleras, los cuales casi nos muerden a mi hijo y a mi. Nos vimos apretados ante esta situación. Del resto la habitación, lugar ubicación, etc es aceptable. El chico que nos atendió por telefono muy agradable.
