I have stayed twice in Hospital and like it. The bridge is impressive and I think I saw and photographed the most stork nests I had ever seen in one place. Also recommend Albergue de los Hidalgos with its private cubicles, beautiful garden and sitting area and the very worthwhile buffet breakfast. There is also a DIA supermarket out on the main highway, maybe 15 minutes from the albergue area.

Hola Pilgrims,
I agree with you whole heartedly about Hospital de Orbigo and Albergue Casa de Los Hidalgo , I stayed there one night ( May23rd 2022) and one of the nicest owner I met on my walk.
Jaun was wonderful and very helpful.
I did not have any extra hole ( got skinny..
) in my belt for the pants to keep it around my wais , needed extra holes and he did with his sharp knife to cut two more..
… that helps Rest of the way to Santiago.
Small things .. still memorable .
aaaahh. Small details and the memories on the Camino..
walked around that ancient beautiful bridge , but there is no water of any kind around it.
bridge on a dry land.. but Im sure there was need for it few moons ago.
My Fitbit was reading ( right or wrong ) 792 kms from SJPP , in Hospital de Orbigo. ( kept track of it.. )
oh well,..
wishing all the Pilgrims happy and safe walk.
Buen Camino and Peace to all.
