Albergue Señor Oso

Pilgrims' comments

• One of the best albergue's on the Camino.

  This is my 12th Camino, my 2nd full Camino Frances. I stayed at Senor OSO in 2022 and again last night. Nothing has changed since my last visit, it is immaculate and the host is very attentive to detail. Yes he does have a few rules but I think its more to do with his care and attention to detail. He is a baker, his bakery is next door. For breakfast we had hot bread from the oven. There were 4 peregrinos staying last night and all agreed one of the best albergue's along The Way. He doesn't speak much English so I guess thats why some reviewers find him harsh. There are some really horrible reviews been left, you need to get a life ! Highly recommend this albergue, if I do the Frances again I will stop here again. 5☆

• Nice Albergue, very nasty man checking us in

  Fire the staff. Rules are rules and we follow them. We are +60 year old travellers. The man that checked us in yelled at my wife because she wanted to use her walking pole the retrieve her water bottle that rolled under the bed. This ruined our stay

• Wonderful Albergue!!!

  This albergue is very clean and comfortable. It has a nice kitchen, and clean showers and . The bunkbeds are great because you can sit on your bottom bunk without having to bend over. There is a light and a charging port at each bunk. Señor Jose takes great care of his Albergue. Señor Jose sat with us and answered questions and made recommendations for future albergues and places to see along the way. I highly recommend this Alberge !

• Special albergue

  Manuel runs an immaculate albergue, with many special attention to detail features, that make this a stand out stay. He is a very sweet guy, and works hard to create a high standard. I regret not opting for his breakfast, because the individual small loaf of bread, baked early that morning, looked delicious.

• Very rude

  This was absolutely the worst experience during my 30 days on camino. Very rude owner. Strange rules.

• Excellent choice

  Senor Oso was worth the stay. The owner runs a tight ship, yes, but it means the place is clean and organized. He has thought of everything the pilgrim needs from high beds thatyto u don't whack ypur head on, lights, lockers, plugs, even shoe horns to slide your fat sock feet into your nasty shoes. Worth putting up with the rules.

• Excellent albergue

  Despite what a couple of people said, I found the hosts to be friendly and helpful. I've stayed here twice and would be happy to stay again Single, comfortable beds. Convenient location. Great restaurant nearby.

• Disrespectful, arrogant and unprofessional host

  Absolutely awful human being. Never in my entire life have I ever been treated with such disrespect. After I paid him he became even nastier. For Pete’s sake - What the heck did I do to be treated that way? I thought maybe it was a YouTube spoof or something, but no. I walked out without even asking for my money back. Didn’t want to spend even another minute talking with that cockroach. Yuck.

• Unhelpful and controlling host

  Like others my only negative comments of the Camino. The place is extremely clean but unwelcoming, you are made to feel 2nd class. Not in the spirit and as a group at the end of the Camino, this was our lowest scoring place to stay. We felt like small children that were not wanted around.

• Very Clean and Organised

  A wonderful Albergue. Host is very organised. Even leaving cushions and shoe horns on the stairs so pilgrims are comfortable putting on shoes. A special post card on departure.

• Word of Caution

  Host is very controlling to the smallest detail. Runs an extremely tight ship and a number of "instructions" directed to us made us rather uncomfortable - somewhat like being back as a youth in boarding school. On a positive note, the albergue is extremely clean, and there is an excellent breakfast available at reasonable price.. PS: I have completed 5 caminos and this my first negative experience.

• Superb!

  Love this place and keeping it on my list of places to come back. Spotless. The host is thoughtful and has everything you need. Every bed has its own outlet and nightlight. The rooms get lots of daylight. Just lovely. You will love staying here.

• Yes really great

  Our host, Jose, was so kind and thoughtful. The albergue is spotlessly clean and very good facilities. Jose makes a sumptuous soup plus his homemade bread is a real treat. In the morning, our shoes were put out for us, together with a mat to sit on and a shoe horn. It is so very central. Highly recommend it.

• Wonderful

  I had a really, really nice stay! Cleanast place on the camino!

• Well okay

  The location is wonderful and good beds and so on, but the person managing it has a somewhat controlling demeanor that dampens the overall atmosphere.

• Good deal, well-run

  Centrally-located, a clean, well-run albergue. Small rooms make a difference, even though beds are standard bunks; still, lots of room and great lockers. Close to good restaurants and supermercado. Attentive host whose laundry “rules” were not a problem at all—he treated us well!

• Amazing place

  Jose is an incredible host and this is so clean and very accommodating to pilgrims. Close to River for a nice swim. Jose has gone above and beyond to help with my injury. He organized a fantastic massage and loves to share the sights of this beautiful town. My fav stop on Camino. Take a couple of days to rest and enjoy and recover.
