I wish I would have stayed there when I walked the CF last September but I walked through for another 10kms. Subsequently met an Englishman walking BACK to Sahagun expecting to help at this albergue over the winter....he knew the monks there well..
 
Yes, I stayed there 5 Years ago when the nuns in the Convent were in charge and it was pretty dismal. However stayed there again last October with the 3 Marists priests running the Albergue.. A wonderful experience with them in charge. Had two nights as my wife had the virus that was going around and couldn't walk for a few days. Highly recommend
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
I'm glad to hear that new people are running this monastery. I stayed there in 2016 and I was yelled at (still do not know why) by one of the nuns. It was a chilly night -- they promised to turn on the heat from 8-11 PM, but it never happened. Lots of negative energy there, it was my worst night on the Frances. But I will go back.

I think the nuns were overworked and overwhelmed.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Can a room be reserved in advance? Reviews do mention poor treatment by nuns but I’m encouraged by great comments about new management.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I had a reservation in Sahagun for Good Friday (April 15th). Given the Semena Santa festivities and accompanying crowds, I reserved ahead for Holy Thursday through Easter.
My reservation in Sahagun was at La Bastide du Chemin which was a very cool place. However, I received an email from the owner (Fatima) on Jan 1st saying that she has to close up shop. It is a shame as she was a devoted perigrina.
 
Albergue de la Santa Cruz is my all star favourite, easily way, way ahead of anywhere else I stayed on my Camino.

Fabulous staff, glorious shared meal that I spent a couple of hours contributing to, respectful and deep opportunities for reflection, enjoyable church service around the corner, fabulous rooms with real beds!

I enjoyed my time here so much that I offered to return as a volunteer but unfortunately I became ill and lost all of my available time, next year maybe.
