    Shower rooms were smelly, but serviceable. The original monastery was unfortunately closed for renovations, but the albergue was open.

    The actual dorm was cool from the window breeze which was nice. They have a great kitchen! The Italian place down the street is awesome!

    The walk up the hill was a bit of a hassle, rendering trips down to non touristy bars and shops in Sarria a bit strenuous. However, on the other hand, the touristy hill is probably the best part of Sarria. The food on the touristy hill might not be as good and cheap as in Sarria itself, but it's the most attractive and social part of Sarria. Sarria itself, isn't a very attractive town. Better to just stay on the hill, if you can.

    Fascinating building. Historic and atmospheric.

    Was noisy before 7am with people leaving. Doesn't feel like a monastery.

    It's virtually on the Camino path, 1 minute walk and you are heading down the hill to start walking from Sarria. Room was adequate, in no way luxury. Lots of toilets and showers

    Check in took an hour because the one and only person working had to check us in in addition to selling pilgrim passports to first time pilgrims. There were only three couples in line in front of me. It was not the fault of the employee but was a result of an inefficient process. Also the property was a 10 minute walk up a desolate road from the town’s restaurants.

    Great water pressure and temperature in the shower. There was a coffee machine in the kitchen that saved time in the morning. Pretty standard albergue.

    Laundry facilities could have been better maintained and available.

    The location on the top of the hill gave plenty of opportunity to walk down into town go to the local farmers market, visit the local art center and many cafes. # nights well spent before continuing my walk. Whilst in a dorm, the bed was located in a quiet area.

    I found it disappointing that in the middle of the night we had an influx of about 40 people arrive, I had been given a bed right at the door and each time someone went in or out of the door I had this bright light shinning in my face. It was most disruptive. In the morning when i wend downstairs someone had borrowed by walking sticks, which meant I had to walk to Hilmorton without the aid of my sticks. regrettably i twisted an ankle, which plagued me for the rest of my Camino. My suggestion for the future is to tell Pilgrims to place their sticks under their bed for safekeeping. I was not the only pilgrim who lost their sticks, there was an elderly gentleman also looking for his sticks. PS I too am elderly as I am 74 years old. The beds creaked and groaned everytime the person above me rolled over, he too was awake most of the night with people coming and going out of the door so we all left fairly early as we were awake anyway.

    I loved the big kitchen it had everything you needed to prepare a meal for a lot of people. The staff were good and the fact that the monastory was near the end of town was great as we just walked out on got on to the track failrly easily.
