It can get a bit crowded upstairs. We were lucky enough to stay in a smaller room downstairs. But it’s very clean, nice showers and bahrooms, with a spacious common area, kitchen, laundry, and a sunny patio where you can hang your clothes to dry. Very pleasant stay.

I hope this comment helps someone else - we stayed at Albergue Cidade de Barcelos in May and would not do it again. The bunk beds are comically squeaky - to the point that we felt we could not move in the night or risk waking up our bunkmates. The beds were uncomfortable, and be aware that no sheets (even disposable) are provided. Small window for large room and was very warm in May. Between these and normal hostel risks (snoring bunkmates), my husband and I literally got 30 minutes of sleep this night and had to take a rest day the next day instead of walking the 12 miles we had planned. A well respected albergue owner one day past on the Camino shared with us that it is well known that this place has terrible beds and everyone complains about it. Other than that, it had nice amenities - but it fails on the main point, which is giving you a good night’s rest before continuing your Camino.

The beds in this albergue squeak do loudly when you move you are afraid to move, and it makes it hard to sleep. To find out 2 days later that everyone further along the route knows about this is annoying as the owners obviously know and don’t care. The hosts were friendly and it’s a good location.

The host let us in and said she would come back but never did. Still a nice place to stay! Room was heated and cozy. Showers were okay, sometimes a bit cold.

Very nice place and a very helpful and friendly host. Easy to pre-book a bed with a nice booking system you will be liked to when you send an email. Check-in was 3 pm(15.00).

Nicht herzlich geführte, etwas schmuddelige sehr einfache Unterkunft ich würde nicht mehr hierher gehen - das Café neben an riecht sehr unangenehm in diesem gibt es aber das Pilgeressen, welches nicht sehr gut war auch hier für keine. Empfehlung

2 rooms downstairs one with 3 beds and one with 6. upstairs dorm has lots of beds. Basic kitchen. Great location at the top of the city. The tower is free to visit so make sure you go check out the views.
