This is a good pension for camino travelers. The beds were comfortable, you have free wifi, and location is perfect in the center of town. The only reason I would not give it a 5 is the fact that they do not offer a washing machine service for cleaning your clothes, which is needed if you are walkin the Camino. Stuff is friendly.

I struggled a bit with this review because overall this pension is fit for purpose and the irritants may not matter to others. I stayed one night while walking the Camino. The pension is meters from where the Camino passes through town and easy to find but has two doors, one for the pension and a second for the ground floor restaurant. The pension door was locked and I didn't realize that the restaurant was open just a few meters up the street. Instead I telephoned and eventually someone walked through the communicating door between the 2 establishments and opened the pension door. The proprietor was charming but did not speak any English which made communication a little difficult but she tried hard. The building has a lift which is helpful. The room was a fairly standard size with a comfortable double bed and wardrobe. The bathroom was a good size and had a hairdryer, an amenity that is often lacking in these cheaper hotels. Unfortunately, the towels felt really damp, in fact wet enough not to dry properly. It is a wet humid area but this was beyond what you would expect if a towel started out dry. There was a small glassed in terrace with a small table a couple of chairs. The light in the terrace room did not work so it could not really be used after sunset. The heating was good as was the wifi and everything looked very clean. The following morning there was someone in the tiny lobby area handing out water, fruit and packets of biscuits to walkers as they left. I have not had this anywhere else along the Camino and though it a very nice touch. My real problem was with 2 young children who were running wild in the restaurant. One of them had a huge pair of sharp scissors which no one seemed concerned about. The other never stopped running and yelling really loudly. So loudly in fact that the noise was easily heard in my room 2 floors up and it was constant. Admittedly it stopped at 9pm but I arrived early afternoon so by then it had moved from minor irritant to major concern. For those who don't care about loud children's noise Casa Curro is a reasonable place to stay but for me it bordered on unacceptable.

“Disappointing”

We booked a Double Room with terrace. When we arrived we were given a Twin Room with no terrace. Room was a bit on the dark side with a large old-fashioned heavy wardrobe.

We booked a Double Room with terrace. When we arrived we were given a Twin Room with no terrace. Room was a bit on the dark side with a large old-fashioned heavy wardrobe. Room and bathroom were clean. Location of Pension is good. We had just walked for a long day on the Camino and could not be bothered to complain about the room as the lady who greeted us had no English. I speak a little Spanish but did not want the hassle at that stage of the day.
