Aloha Hostel

My friend and I stayed in a female dorm with just three beds, and the room had a fan, which was perfect. Good ventilation is often a problem in Camino hostels, where windows can't be opened all the way and there are no fans, but that wasn't an issue here. The bathroom had separate wet and dry areas and a hairdryer. Free breakfast, a coffee machine, and great value for money too. I highly recommend it.😊

I slept really well on the bunk bed, which is usually an issue for me. The main bus station is only a six-minute walk away. Freshly ground coffee in the morning was another big win.

For anyone who's read Rod Rodr's review, late check-in is absolutely possible. I've done it successfully before. You just have to phone the hostel before reception closes 😂😂. I was cycling over a mountain towards Pamplona when they gave me great service: they left the key in a locker by the front door and sent me all the codes. Last year, bike problems meant I couldn't make it to the hostel. I don't complain that I couldn't change the dates or cancel for free, because I read the policies beforehand. I'm staying here again tonight, and I can't let nice people be smeared by a guy who gives more than 50% bad ratings to businesses that don't proactively meet his needs and expectations…

It's a great little place to rest on the Camino, tucked away from busy streets so there's not much noise. The central bus station is very close, and the old town restaurants are about a 10-minute walk away. My four-bed room was great, and the common area was really comfortable. It can get a little hot in the afternoon while the sun is out, but it cools down at night. Breakfast is included, just coffee and toast, but enough. Wi-Fi works well throughout, and the staff are really nice and helpful.
