Need Sarria Hostel Suggestion!

Time of past OR future Camino
1st- 05/28 - 06/27/2013
We have a fellow pilgrim that is having a tuff time posting and needs suggestions on a good hostel in Sarria that has private rooms, for a couple of days. She is traveling with her family and is in Madrid heading up to the camino shortly.

Can y'all give her some suggestions while I try to figure out her posting issues please?

Thanks!

Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-

I second this recommendation. Rachel and Jorge are lovely hosts, and they do one of the best pilgrim's menus on the Way, cooked by Rachel's husband who used to run a restaurant (do spend the extra couple of euros to upgrade the wine!). If the weather is nice, they can also enjoy the terrace with a view of the church across the way.

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
I was among Durminento's first customers, and rated it as among the best on the Camino. When I returned the following year, sink taps were leaking, shower doors were broken, and their computer had one of those annoying keyboards like a telephone keypad -- no action. The following year across the street was the new Internacional, so I stayed there. The owners were very friendly and very nervous about starting a business in Spain. I have returned, and they have maintained their place, but I don't think the restaurant is working out as hoped. The food was good, and custom-prepared by the grandmother, but pilgrims were eating elsewhere.

The cena at Durminento is very friendly, and was well-patronized, so if you stay there, I would suggest it. There are a lot of dining options in Sarria, including pulpo down by the river, so food operations at albergues have a hard time, I think.

Don Alvaro is also very friendly, but a bit older. There is a new place at the bottom of the stairs that has gotten good reviews.

You almost cannot go wrong in Sarria unless you stay in the municipal, and I think it was being renovated this winter, so its past history may not be a good indicator of the future.
 
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.
I liked Casa Peltre at the foot of the stairs. Clean, small and friendly.

Have you checked the Hotel Alfonso? I got a very good deal throught the Internet, even cheaper than the Hostal and they will take reservations (and Credit Cards) online. I guess it is the "low" season now and it is a Monday night. Got it for 45 Euros (50 directly via their site)
