Albergue Milladoiro

What is not to love about this Albergue. They really care about cleanliness and hygiene, loved that they insist and provide “bug”spray for your shoes and bag before you enter. Great communal spaces, spacious and comfortable. Good kitchen facilities, free tea and coffee and more importantly to my husband: free biscuits!! Bunk beds in large dorms but they are large spaces with curtains in blocks so feel more private than other albergues we have stayed at. All the staff are super friendly and just really nice people. Nice relaxing atmosphere on this stopover just 7.7km short of Santiago de Compostella allowing you to time a sunrise entry into the city to complete you Camino.

Zero issues about the property, we did have an issue with the card machine not working when paying and no fee free atm’s in town so ensure you have cash, it was our last stop and hadn’t realised until arrived that payment is dealt with by property and not taken by booking.com so an us problem and nothing to do with the Albergue but just a heads up to anyone booking here to ensure you have cash with you.

Liked the attention to keeping the place clean + free of bedbugs (treating shoes + bags with insecticide spray on entry and storing shoes in a separate space). Good location just off the Camino with supermarket nearby. Comfortable beds and quiet dorm.

Nice that they have washer + dryer but, for such a large hostel, they could use a second set of these appliances. The women’s shower room would also benefit from a squeegee or intermittent mopping as the water from the showers spills over. Garbage bin in the kitchen overflowing by the morning even though the hostel was only half full.

Everything. Great location for Camino. Very modern premises. They take cleanliness very seriously. Bar/cafe next door. Supermarket nearby.

Nothing.

Communication was exceptionally bad on check in, with one lady just smiling whilst another lady struggled. The hostel itself is great, but being made to wait 50 minutes when you have just walked 17km and no communication as to what is going on is frustrating. At 3 in the morning our dormitory started to flood, someone contacted the emergency number, and to be fair they did arrive to mend the broken connection and mop up very quickly, but it didn’t result in a restful nights sleep
