Albergue Alda Pilgrim Ponferrada, hotel in Ponferrada

Set in Ponferrada, 23 km from Las Médulas Roman Mines, Albergue Alda Pilgrim Ponferrada offers air-conditioned accommodation and a shared lounge.

When I chose a place to stay, for me it's important the location, safety, cleanliness and friendliness of staff and honestly this place has everything a pilgrim or traveller might dream. To start with the staff is so helpful, very professional and so friendly, these girls are always ready to help and they let you feel welcome. The place it's self is perfectly located and on walkking distance to restaurants bars, shops, and to the bus (10 min) and train station (5min) also a shopping mall not far from there. (12min). I came as pilgrim once and discovered this lovely place and then I came back many times. I love the place because it's so clean, beautifully decorated and there are beautiful restareas if you want to read or work on your pc. in addition there is also a fantastic restaurant aside, where you can eat or have freakfast. The food is exquisite, they value for money amazing. The set menus are the best in all Ponferrada, I tried in many places but this one is the best! the quality of the food and the fantastic presentation and the variety of dishes. Definitely I'll come back again.

Also some nice touches like freshly made individual loaves and hard boiled eggs and fresh fruit for breakfast and inspirational quotes in the bathroom and boots were left ready on the stairs with a shoe horn to use, and a postcard to remember the town

    The staff is super friendly and helpful and the hostel's a solid hostel. The breakfast might be the best I've had on the camino so far. The beds are standard bunk beds but totally fine.

    As a cycle tourer, for me the superb safe secure bike storage, complete with a high pressure (1Euro) 'bike wash' facility, foot pumps with gauges, and sets of tools and stands was an unexpected delight. And the light, modern and clean dormitory and other spaces are a joy.

    A big open, airy hostel. Felt very clean and modern, but also was lacking in any character a bit. Rooms are decently sized and bunk beds are spaced out enough to feel less cramped than a lot of places. Very clean and with a good bathroom & lockers to room situation where there's a big sliding door between where everyone is sleeping and the locker for your bag and bathroom so you can get up and get ready (or get ready and go to bed) without disturbing others.

    The location was excellent. TH hostel was easy to find in the city centre. Places of interest were close by to the main square. There were good meals to have in the restaurant downstairs. The room was comfortable and cool. There was safe parking for the bicycles though we did have to take them down a flight of stairs.
