“Entorno precioso, albergue desangelado”

The best part was the surroundings and the easy, quick access to the highway; from the hostel itself several mountain routes depart. It was very cold and the hostel had no heating; the high ceilings meant we had to stay close to small portable heaters. We had stayed in hostels with central heating where we could be perfectly comfortable. For sleeping we laid blankets over duvets and wore polar pajamas. The spring mattresses were uncomfortable. We had no wardrobe or shelf to store our bags, clothes and other items, so we used several dining chairs. We spent two nights there in early January, alone, and I can assure you we were frightened at night because there was no lock (not even a latch) to secure the room. No staff were present to guard, keep, or receive visitors. In short, I would recommend it to large groups, a small family, or a couple, but not in those winter dates. Thanks to the manager who left matches and tablets for us to light the kitchen fireplace, otherwise it would have been impossible; the only way to endure was to sit by the fire. I asked the manager about hot water, and he confirmed there were boilers, but we were disappointed when neither the showers nor the sink produced hot water. After a hike I had to shower with ice‑cold water. What do you do with small children without hot water? Fortunately we only booked two nights; if we had stayed longer we would have reconsidered. We think the hostel is in a very good spot and perhaps it worked better before or in other seasons, but our experience was dismal.
