Hi everyone, hoping some one can answer my question. Last time I stayed in this alberque I stayed on (I think) the 1st. floor, which was all open plan. There seemed to be different types of acccommodation on offer on the higher floors, and I was wondering how to 'upgrade' if possible next time I go to this alberque. (I will have started travelling 5am from home and arrive in to Burgos on or around 20:30 )Thanks in advance!
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
They tend to fill the albergue from the bottom to the top. As nearly as I could tell, all floors are essentially equal, with the elevator wait shorter on the bottom floors. I don't think they open the upper floors unless the lower one have filled. I was on the first floor on a slow day, and it did not fill up.
 

Yes, they fill the floors from the bottom floor.
The first floors are more luxury with separating walls in between the bunks with many shower and bath rooms close by.
The uppermost floor (5TH?) is an open plan dormitory.
In the summertime at 2030 it will be completo and no reservations can be made in advance.
You will find plenty of nice hotels in Burgos my favorite city on the Frances.
Buen camino,

Thanks for your reply!
 

Thanks Annie!
I think I will have to go for the hotel option as I get in to Burgos quite late, but never mind!
 
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.
