Albergue Vilela

Melide

I stayed with 2 friends as part of the Camino de Santiago hike and this was by far the worst Albergue we stayed at . It  was cold  and dirty , the kitchen was absolutely disgusting and hadn't been cleaned in an age . we found old opened packets of crisps in the cupboards so god knows how long they had been there . Also , anyone cold have walked in there and taken our gear while were out as no one was at the door preventing people from entering . It baffles me how this premises is mentioned in Brierleys guide to the camino as a reputable place to stay at . In all a very dispiriting experience   . we were delighted to leave it behind the following morning .

Avoid at all costs

We arrived at our reservation and were sent to Vilela, where the girl took good care of us, and put my son and I in a room of four, and no one else. The rooms are clean, though somewhat abandoned.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

The photos posted on the internet should match the day of its inauguration, at present its conditions are unfortunate, cleaning tools in the hallways, detached sofas, paint unlocked on all sides. The flooded bathrooms and oxidized marshes. In short, to close it.

A night on the Camino de Santiago

The hostel that meets the requirements of the Santiago road, is clean, has a washing machine and dryer, and two patios to hang clothes, in the basement there is a place to store bicycles, the attention has been impeccable, we were three and we got into a room of 4 without a meter to anyone else.

The Albergue is a small town.

We stayed here one night on our Camino, I booked it on line. The photos looked good. This was not the reality. We booked a double,room with shared bathroom. The room had black mould all over the walls, the bed creaked and ground with every movement. The window in the room opened onto another room, used as a laundry. The shower had a wooden window in the shower cubicle that opened onto an inside room. They also had bunk bed rooms for 4 or 8 people.

Really bad

The only positive thing is that it's located on the Way. It's not a hotel but a hostel. Our room was a double room with a nearly broken bed and a window that looked inside. On our floor there were 3 common bathrooms, but when we arrived at 15:00 there was no hot water. The WiFi in the room was getting really bad, it was better in the common areas. The girl at the reception didn't speak English but luckily understood.
