Briallos Albergue

[Vakond]

Stayed in Briallos instead of Caldas de Reis, which was a very bad decision as we found out about it later.

Briallos has this new albergue, which is very nice and new but there was no running water in the building!! It's July one of the hottest of the months and 28 people were staying over.
It wasn't just washing, having a shower but USING a TOILET as well.
We found that rather surprising that they still took us in and charged us normal price for staying.
Very unhygienic. We had to ask for buckets to flush down the toilets.
Hopefully this porblem is sorted out now for the next prilgrims...

No shops around, one little garage where you can buy food for double price. Only one place to eat is the Natural Parque, which is beautiful, so worth a visit but you have to walk back around 2 km.
There is a kitchen wehere you can cook....

I second those remarks by Vakond. This was one Albergue who's management smacked of 'cannot be bothered'. No running water! Not even a toilet that flushed. Any concerns were met with a shrug of the shoulders from staff.

I was in Briallos last week.
there was loads of hot water, plenty of cold water, and even tepid water was available!

Just two of us.

Luxury.

When I stayed here in 2011, after Casa Fernanda it was the best albergue I had stayed in. Clean, good cooking facilties, not overcrowded. However if I walk this way again I would stay in Caldas, when I passed through it the next day it came across as a interesting place to stay.
