On Booking.com you still can book it.

On Booking.com you still can book it.

On Booking.com, no matter what dates you put in, it shows as booked. I have tried next month, two months from now, three months from now... it always says "no availability"

Thank you. I think I was trying to book too far in advance. I went back to the website and did find some opening in the next few weeks. I will try again closer to my date

I have booked my date for June on their website and it worked just fine.

For general information, I was at the Seminario Menor earlier today looking for accommodation. A priest whom I met in the vicinity showed me a message posted on the gate to the effect that it is closed until the spring.

When I tried and tried back in September to book there online, it was impossible. As you say, booking.com simply said booked or unavailable or whatever. Someone called for me to Sem Men which is how I found out they want you to phone directly or show up. This was how it was back in September. They were completo every night. Lots of teens and school kids coming in groups back then. I see Albertagirl posted there's a sign today saying they are closed till spring. I am surprised but maybe it is too expensive to heat the place in winter???

What I was told by the priest who showed me the sign is that it was not worth it to keep it open with only two or three people showing up each day and wanting to stay there.
