Pensión Sandoval by gaiarooms

Ignore the bad reviews, it’s not the Ritz and building is not intimidating at first but best two nights sleep I had on the Camino at cheap price. Kitchen with free laundry facilities, lounge, comfy bed.

Clean the inside of the bathroom doors!

It was price that brought me to this place and while things are definitely dated, it works still. Normally I don’t like these systems without any live people on the site to attend to you but they are responsive and patient in Spanish or English at least (maybe other languages) and the system they have is one of the better ones. I would do online checkin which I hadn’t known about but the person on the phone was excellent. I could see that if you check in on line it’s a smooth operation and appears safe. Cooking space is a plus esp if you’re a small group of pilgrims this could work very well for you. It’s on quiet street but really close to busy part of town.

It wouldn’t take a whole lot to clean up the stairwell leading to the pension. The place inside is clean but for the average person (not me) it might be huge turn off of a messy first impression. A good clean up there would be a high return for not much work.

Good Location, good kitchen, washing machine, clean facilities

I didn’t find a place to air dry clothes but there was a tumble dryer

Era lo que esperábamos: una pensión con baño compartido y de bajo precio. Algo de ruido durante las fiestas y habría estado bien saber que era sin ascensor, pero no es el fin del mundo.

Punto bastante negativo: no dejaron ni un poquito de jabón tipo amenity; y, aunque había buenas cortinas, la persiana estaba rota
