Plan your stay at Albergue Monte irago

Hostel in Foncebadón beside the Camino Francés, with a garden, terrace and bar; it offers shared dormitories and double rooms for pilgrims and travellers.

Room types

The hostel offers three room types to suit different travel plans. The Mixed Shared Room accommodates up to twelve people and has twelve bunk beds; it is the largest-capacity option and has a balcony. It differs from the two double rooms, each intended for a maximum of two guests.

One double room has a double bed, private bathroom and heating, while the Double Room - 2 Beds has two single beds and a balcony, with a shared bathroom equipped with a shower and bidet. The options therefore differ in both privacy and layout: one room has its own bathroom, the other suits two people who prefer separate beds, and the dormitory lets you share a room with a group. The balcony is available in the shared room and the option with single beds, but not in the double room with a double bed.
