Hostal y Albergue Haizea - Hostel

Nice place, I used my credit card to book online but when I arrived they told me i should pay here, they won't charge me online, then i oay for cash. Its ok for me. Im looking forward for breakfast tomorrow.

하느님의 순례자의 돈을 갈취하는것을 하느님이 보셨을 겁니다. 이 숙소 주인분의 탐욕스러운 모습에 매우 실망했습니다.

The sign on the property says "Hostal Rural" and that captures the feel of the place. The village of Espinal (Spanish name)/Aurizberri (Basque name) is only 10 minutes' walk from one end to the other and it is on one of the paths to El Camino de Santiago de Compostela. So, there are many places for pelligrinos (pilgrims) making the journey to stay and it is surrounded by rural fields. There is a pub/restaurant downstairs that is well attended by locals and travellers alike, serving good, plentiful, traditional food and drink. The rooms are not modern, but clean, well enough equipped and comfortable. The staff are very helpful but my woeful Spanish (and non-existent Basque) made communication slightly difficult at times. I only stayed one night and by myself, so I didn't get "the full experience". Anyway, it was great for me and I recommend it.

best spot I have stayed in, most welcoming

The property is newer and nice and the staff helpful but I think it’s unacceptable to not provide soap in the restrooms. When I asked they gave me a little packet of liquid soap. Was I supposed to carry it around and use it everytime I needed soap?

Check us in early and was friendly. Waitress was not too friendly as we do not speak spanish. Meat was served raw.

Nice and accommodating staff

Pasamos una noche y tuvimos una estancia muy agradable. Nos atendieron súper bien desde el minuto uno, la cama era súper cómoda. La ducha estaba un poco sucia. Cenamos y desayunamos en el hostal muy bien. Además es un pueblito muy agradable para pasear. Volveremos :)

Je n'ai pas pu venir...
