Summary of reviewsAlbergue Santiago Apostol is widely praised for its strategic location in Logroño, making it an ideal stop for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago and tourists alike. Positioned centrally, it offers easy access to the city’s historic center, Calle Laurel and the Ebro River. The wealth of nearby bars, restaurants, shops and parking options add to its appeal, offering a convenient yet tranquil retreat.
The hostel provides a range of breakfast options at an economical price, starting at €3.50 with reviews noting it as simple yet sufficient to start the day. While some guests appreciate the value and simplicity, others feel it's too minimal for those needing more substantial nourishment, like pilgrims.
Dinner offerings receive mixed feedback. Positive reviews highlight the cozy and tasty pilgrim dinners, but criticisms focus on limited options, small portions and the quality of microwaved dishes. Vegetarians may find the lack of appealing options disappointing. The absence of a kitchenette and occasional operational issues add to the concerns.
Rooms are described as simple but clean with private rooms noted for comfort and amenities like private bathrooms. However, issues such as small, cramped spaces, noise from nearby areas and inadequate air conditioning are frequent complaints. The bathroom facilities receive mixed reviews with some rooms needing renovation and better cleanliness standards. Common areas are very basic and could benefit from more upkeep.
Cleanliness at the hostel is generally praised with many guests highlighting clean and comfortable facilities. Nonetheless, recurring concerns about the cleanliness and maintenance of bathrooms, including dirty showers and musty smells, are noted by several guests.
Staff hospitality is a standout feature with consistent praise for the welcoming, helpful and attentive staff. Guests often commend the friendly reception and the staff's efforts to ensure a pleasant stay, enhancing the overall experience despite occasional minor service lapses.
WiFi is reliable in common areas but struggles with weak signals in dorm rooms. This discrepancy might be a minor inconvenience for those needing consistent internet access in private spaces.
Nightlife around the hostel is vibrant, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy a lively atmosphere. However, the accompanying noise can be disruptive for those seeking a quiet and restful environment.
The beds offer a mixed experience; while some find them comfortable and private, others criticize the lack of space, thin mattresses and absence of personal amenities like lighting and outlets. The dormitory setup's variability means experiences can differ greatly depending on individual assignments and preferences.
Accessibility is commendable with features catering well to guests with disabilities, such as 24-hour code access and good proximity to parking. However, the lack of an elevator and handrails on stairs may present challenges for those with mobility issues.
In summary, Albergue Santiago Apostol provides a convenient, budget-friendly option with outstanding location and hospitable staff. However, potential guests should consider its mixed reviews on meals, room sizes, cleanliness variability and the bustling nighttime environment.
