DORMERO Albergue San Miguel Hospital de Órbigo

A lovely hostel with a great kitchen area. The decor has lots of personality and there is opportunity to add your own Art work to the walls. Managed by two Italian ladies who speak excellent English and really stood out for their friendly disposition and helpfulness.

The shower area is really small with nowhere to hang things.

Anna e Marina sono semplicemente stra‑pi‑to‑se in tutto: accoglienza, attenzione al cliente durante il soggiorno e una cucina di altissimo livello. Perfette in ogni dettaglio. Le ringrazio ancora per la pasta al pomodoro, con i suoi profumi deliziosi e autentici, davvero degna di questo nome.

Charming building. Good location. Loved all the pilgrim artwork on the walls.

Really nothing. Was hoping for a pilgrim dinner there but it was not meant to be

This place looked so cute and rustic in photos online, and in person it really was charming.

Check-in says 12, but it's actually 1. I wish they'd fix that listing, because I would have spent that extra hour hanging out at the bridge or down by the river instead of just waiting around, only to feel like we were being an inconvenience for arriving 'early.' The same people manage the albergue next door, but they rarely come over to this one except to check people in and show them where their bed and the facilities are. When I was the first to check in, there were pillows and blankets left on the floor from the night before, and the host just folded them up and put them straight back on the bed. It didn't feel very sanitary. The bathroom and shower were also pretty dirty, and we barely saw anyone the rest of the stay after check-in. There's no longer a community dinner here either. That's now over at the other albergue they run across the street, which is newer and has a much better vibe. It's a shame, because it feels like the charm of this place is slipping away. The beds themselves weren't very comfortable, though the frames are wooden, so at least you can't hear anyone moving above you.
