This is certainly true, but these beds fill up fast. The last few days they were full at approx. 2.30 / 3 pm. But as Kathar1na stated earlier in this thread, by the end of this week (after Ascension Day) the amount of reservations is going down.
This has changed since May last year. Before that date, we only had one scanner for the passports/ID-cards, so only one pilgrim at a time could be checked-in and this takes a lot of time. Last year a second scanner was installed, so in busy times we now have two check-in desks.

Well, it is what it is .... the hospitaleros really need their time for cleaning the dormitories and bathrooms, and have a coffee-break and lunch.
