Hostal Zahara

As Above and no dislikes

The area near the hotel was a little bit noisy. The room I was in had a riser pillar right next to the bed, which gurgled when water moved through it. Apart from that, it was a good place to stay before starting my Camino.

I was waiting quite some time to get checked in, other than that it was all good.

_Bad things: it wasn't easy to access the room, the card didn't work on the door, and the code panel was slow and confusing. I didn't expect either a column in the middle of a small room, touching one of the sides of the bed and being in front of the closet, leaving a narrow space to open it and to pass through that side of the bed. The day I stayed, there was a big football match having to bear the noise of fans from the street quite late at night and the earplugs they provided weren't good enough. (bring your own mouldable/wax ones, are better!) _Good things: the place/room was quite new/stylish for a hostel! It wasn't smelly or cold, with good light blocking from windows, and having its own ensuite! The bed/pillows were comfy and the shower was amazing, either the water pressure and the temperature; Finding an umbrella inside the closet to use for my city stroll just when it started raining heavily outside, was a nice touch!
