Albergue Mayor is a 1-star hostel in Sarria, 350 m from the Fortaleza de Sarria and exclusively for pilgrims. It focuses on shared dormitories, with beds in mixed rooms for four or eight guests, and practical services for those walking the Camino. Both options have single beds and a shared bathroom, as well as views of different parts of the town: one looks towards the Camino de Santiago and the historic centre, and the other towards the Camino and the Igrexa de Santa Mariña de Sarria.
The rooms have individual lockers and bed linen; the accommodation also offers free WiFi, a shared kitchen and a tourist information service. Sarria railway station is 850 m away and the bus station is 620 m away. The setup is simple and functional, designed for those looking for a single bed in a shared space, with laundry facilities, luggage storage and a games room among the available services. Age restrictions and requirements for children to be accompanied are also part of the conditions of stay.
Albergue Mayor offers beds in two mixed dormitories, both with space for one person per bed and a shared bathroom. The first option is a bed in a four-person room measuring 8 m²; the second is in an eight-person room measuring 15 m². Both have a single bed, lockers and bed linen. The main difference is the available space and the number of beds shared, rather than the type of accommodation.
The views make them easier to tell apart: the four-bed dormitory looks towards the Camino de Santiago and the historic centre of Sarria, while the eight-bed dormitory faces the Camino and the Igrexa de Santa Mariña de Sarria. Both include wooden or parquet flooring, heating, a socket by the bed, a clothes rack and a dining area. They are simple options for those looking for a single bed in a shared space; neither is offered as a private room.
This bed is in a mixed four-person room measuring 8 m², the more compact of the two options. It overlooks the Camino de Santiago and the historic centre of Sarria. It includes an individual locker, bed linen and a dining area; the bathroom is shared with other guests.
In the eight-person mixed dormitory, this single bed is in a 15 m² room, almost twice the size of the four-bed option. From here, you can see the Camino de Santiago and the Igrexa de Santa Mariña de Sarria. It has an individual locker, clothes rack and dining area, as well as a shared bathroom.
The hostel focuses its services on the needs of a simple stay along the Camino: free WiFi, non-smoking rooms and heated communal spaces. Guests who want to plan the next stages can use the transfer service and tourist information; luggage storage and lockers are also available for belongings. Daily housekeeping completes the everyday services.
For leisure, there is a games room and board games or puzzles, as well as hiking among the activities associated with the accommodation. Laundry facilities are useful for stays of several days. The rooms have bed linen, a socket near the bed, a clothes rack and a dining area; the bathrooms are shared and include a shower, toilet, toilet paper and hairdryer. Towels and towels/sheets are also available for an additional charge. The shared kitchen allows you to prepare meals.
