Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Outstanding staff and service — Guests consistently praise the owners and reception staff for going above and beyond – helping with luggage, arranging taxis, offering local tips, and even lending cutlery.
  • Unbeatable location — Directly on the Camino walkway, a stone's throw from the train station and within easy walking distance of the historic center, supermarkets, and restaurants.
  • High guest satisfaction — With a rating of 8.7 from over 1,600 reviews and strong scores across rooms, service, and cleanliness, it's a reliably well-regarded choice.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms are compact — Some guests described the rooms as 'charming little' – fine for a short stay but possibly tight for those wanting more space.
  • Limited TV channel selection — One guest noted that the in-room TV offers only a limited number of channels.
  • Reception hours may be restrictive — Check-in is only available between 13:00 and 20:00, which might not suit travelers arriving late.
