Albergue de peregrinos del Monasterio de Urdax - Comentarios

Unica posibilidad de alojamiento en Urdax, Javier pone toda su voluntad para atender al peregrino, incluso preparandome la cena , entre sus otras ocupaciones,. Lo cual es de agradecer. Las instalaciones suficientes para el descanso.y el entorno inmejorable

After a pleasant enough night at the Urdax monastery I’m baffled by the horrible reviews some have posted : either the previous posters were having a bad hair day, or they expected 4 star luxury at a basic, no-frills 8 euro / bed albergue. Of course, it's also possible that the on-site powers that be have cleaned up their act (as it were). As municipal or church-run albergues go, it was more than fine. No evidence of unsanitary conditions. The floors, the beds, the bathrooms were all quite clean, the mattresses were firm, and all bedding was wrapped in protective plastic. Paper bottom sheets were provided, and there were even blankets, which we unhesitantingly used. Best of all, it is very spacious and affords a lot of privacy, with 9 large pods of 2 bunk beds each. Since it seems rare that more than ½ dozen or so people are there at any one time, it’s pretty likely that you, or you and your partner, will have a pod to yourself, and even if it were full, there's plenty of maneuvering room between beds so you wouldn't feel cramped. And the hospitaliero / manager was friendly, efficient and accommodating. No problem with him at all All restaurants in town were closed on Sunday night, so we ate dinner there, too. 14 euros. A basic pilgrim meal, but everything was fresh. BYOB, however. Minor minuses: Only one shower in spacious bathroom worked, but this was hardly an issue with only 6 of us there. And while the kitchen was well-provided with cooking utensils, the stove-top didn't work, so you can only warm up food in the microwave. 9/16/24. Andy Cohn

Somos Antonio, Javi, Hugo y ángel, estuvimos el día uno de Julio, nosotros estuvimos bien sin problemas y la cena muy bien, gracias por la atención, el único problema y no es del Albergue, todos los restaurantes estaban cerrados el lunes

-Hay mucha humedat y las mantass hacian mala olor - Està descuidada por falta de limpieza. Las Basuras estan llenas de las sabanas deshechables de los huespedes que han pasado -La estufa està rota y es un pelegri -Hicimos el pago de huespedes por una no che y el chico responsable no nos dèbolvieron el canvio. Nos dijo que pasaria y no volvio

El monasterio es una pasada, pero la verdad es que ese día el hospitalero no tenía su día más simpático. La cocina estaba muy sucia, el estropajo particularmente, no había jabón para lavar los platos, el desayuno muy pobre, la estufa de la cocina es un riesgo de incendio. El precio está muy económico, no me gusta exigir, pero tampoco se pueden hacer así las cosas. A esto contribuye el hecho de que no hay muchos sitios donde elegir en el camino. Es una lástima, creo que se pueden hacer mejor las cosas.

Yo dormí solo,qué más se puede pedir por 8 euros?,baño,cama a elegir,agua caliente, cocina equipada y una experiencia religiosa,jeje.. Para mi muy buena opción.

Stayed late sept 2023 No other options in this hamlet . No breakfast & long day ahead & I got a take away cheese & bread for next day. I think the bar may have gone evening meals - did not open until 10 am in morning . Because of previous reviews, I had good hopes for this albergue. Staying in the monastery was nice. But toilets and showers were not clean. In fact very very dirty& smelly. The kitchen was exceptionally dirty & un Hygienic. The meal was also disappointing. A bowl of bean soup , some salad and slices of bacon. We had to share half a bottle of red wine with 4 people. For the price of 12 euros. Filth & smells & rubbish . Grateful for bed & good company of family of 3 Spanish family pilgrims as we shared our views & confirmed my reaction . My assumption - hospitalero volunteer fatigue /burn out. Priority is their wildlife rescue centre . With 4 of us the total was €80 & the money is not being invested or contributed to the Albergues upkeep or cleaning . Could be a gem with a little more care & cleaning .

Albergue agradable y limpio dentro del monasterio. 8€. Paella, lomo y ensalada con un vaso de vino para cenar 12€.

Duermes dentro de un monasterio, me encantó, una pega , la cena muy cara para lo que es
