• Jane (10/5): Great location within the old walls, comfortable and friendly - Location, laid back, friendly, well equipped Nothing
• Gisele (9/5): - Da localização O café da manhã é confuso
• Patricia (10/5): Wonderful place for a night on the Camino - This wonderful albergue is in the walled Old City and is so close to Valença’s history. The bunks were very comfortable. Great stop on the Camino. Highly recommended. Not a thing!
• Rosa (9/5): - Pequeno-almoço perfeito, tudo muito bom
• Halina (9/5): - Muy prolijo y resuelto con mucho ingenio en poco espacio. Pequeño pero cómodo y completo. La ubicación espectacular. Los camarotes muy privados y silencioso.

• Patricia (10/5): Great location, great welcome and a great hostel - Such a lovely welcome. Greeted with a glass of cold lemon water. Exactly what I needed. The location was lovely , being inside the fortress area. Clearly the owner took pride in the place. Nothing to complain about
• Kiara Anna (10/5): - What a gem on the Camino! The owner was so welcoming I felt right at home. It was the most comfortable bed I've had on the whole Camino so far. Just excellent. There is so much attention to detail about what the pilgrims need - a well equipped kitchen, areas to relax and hang out, drying lines outside, big lockers, good attention to hygiene, black our curtains, a hairdryer, breakfast. I could go on! The decor is simple, nice and cozy and the location superb just on the fortifications which is a great place for watching sunsets. A communal dinner would be nice to offer.
• Sydney (10/5): - Property was in a central location. Lots of great cafes, restaurants, and shopping around! It's right on the Camino path, but would be worth visiting regardless!
• Katie (10/5): -
• Matilde (10/5): -
• Danuta (10/5): Urocze miejsce - Wyjątkowe, klimatyczne miejsce, gustownie urządzone, wspaniała, pomocna gospodyni. W samym centrum, przy szlaku Camino. Jedyna niedogodność to kawa na śniadaniu była zimna i zabrakło kapsułek by zakupić kawę z ekspresu.
• Pollyanna (8/5): - Confy beds and cleanbeds, with blankets, soap, all necessary.
• Ellie Park (8/5): -
• Ernst (10/5): -
• Rolf Zok (10/5): - Bereits mein zweiter Aufenthalt im Hostel Bulwark. Privatsphäre im Schlafbereich durch Vorhang gegeben. Da die Rucksäcke nicht mit den den Schlafraum dürfen, auch keine Belästigung durch unnötiges Sortieren im Rucksack. Perfekte Lage auf dem Camino Portuges.
• Claudia (10/5): -
• Cécile (10/5): Quel bonheur d’avoir rencontré cette hospitalière - Employée très joviale et prend tout son temps pour répondre aux besoins des pèlerins. L’ambiance est relaxante, tout ce qu’il faut pour un marcheur fatigué. La tranquillité, l’ordre , le petit déjeuner

• Catarina (9/5): -
• Judith (10/5): - L'accueillante , le lieu , sur le camino portuguais, j'ai adoré le lit "capsule",la propreté, la decoration, e petit déjeuner à disposition. Situer dans la forteresse, la nuit est calme. J'ai bien dormi. Je recommande.
• Motomi (10/5): 素敵なところ - 朝食の種類が豊富。要塞内で場所が良い。ザックを部屋に持ち込めないが、ダニが部屋に入り込む心配がない安心感がある。 洗濯物干し場が少ない。
• pam (10/5): Excellent service - Great communication, even when I was 3 hours late Beautiful clean dorms Excellent privacy screens, power outlets Blanket provided Nothing
• Johanna (9/5): -
• Maffazioli Pires (10/5): -
• Jerry (8/5): A great place to stay in the heart of the old fortress. - This is a great property right in the middle of the old fortress. It was a great way to begin our Camino. It was rainy in one of the workers allowed us to come in about a half hour early to sit in the lobby area. It was a kind gesture. Unfortunately, the manager came in and yelled at him for allowing us to do that. The management staff was not very friendly.
• Deborah (8/5): -
• Filipe (10/5): - No geral, o espaço está muito bem conseguido e confortável - o espaço exterior é perfeito para conviver ou até mesmo repousar e trabalhar - o espaço partilhado interior está preparado para tudo o que for necessário, tendo cozinha para fazer refeições - os quartos são bastante confortáveis e as cortinas promovem uma privacidade excelente e um sono mais profundo. Nada a declarar.

• Gabriela (9/5): -
• Pedro (10/5): A repetir - Gostei de tudo! Para quem está no Caminho se Santiago, como foi o meu caso. Da localização ao pequeno almoço, tudo impecável. Atendimento super simpático, espaço muito simpático e agradável. Recomendo! Fiquei agradado com tudo.
• Helen (7/5): Good location and clean simple accommodation. - It was fine. Comfortable, enclosed bunk bed and nice communal area. One of the host ladies was a bit unfriendly - the other was fine!

• Thomas (8/5): - Die Lage in der Fußgänger-Zone ist wirklich unübertroffen.
• Cheryl (10/5): - The bunk room was beautifully laid out, with extremely comfortable and wide mattresses and proper privacy curtains. The breakfast was also fantastic and most appreciated. Just a wonderful place in a top location. Thank you 😊

• radi (10/5): -
• Keith C. (10/5): -
• Ketty (9/5): -
• le guellaff (10/5): - L'implantation dans la vieille ville, la gentillesse de la personne qui vous accueillera et les lits qui même si ils sont superposés vous conserve une part d'intimité Rien,tout est ok
• Petronella (10/5): -
• Michaela (10/5): Moc nás to bavilo - Naprosto výjimečné v historickém centru, čisté, designové, výborná péče včetně snídaně.

• Maria (10/5): Foi muito boa - A limpeza, decoração e simpatia Ouvia-se um bocado as pessoas na cozinha a falarem
• Wade (10/5): Great place to stay. - Great location. There are stores and restaurants nearby. Located in a district which was part of military fortifications. Large old stone walls. On the Camino Portuguese, you walk out of the fortifications and cross the river to Spain in the morning.
• Rey (7/5): -
• Maddy (9/5): - perfect location, inside the fort Not big enough kitchen
• Petr (10/5): -

• Jacqueline (9/5): -
• Francoise (9/5): Friendly, clean and comfortable - Top Nothing
• Susan (10/5): - Gordijnen bij de de bedden, ontbijt.
• Anna (9/5): - Prachtig gelegen, sfeervol ingericht in de oude stad, binnen het fort. Fijn gordijnen om je bed en een goed bed met dun dekbed in een hoes. Preventie door tassen buiten de slaapplek vind ik ook heel goed. Voldoende ontbijtkeus. De ruimte om je backpack even goed neer te leggen naast je kluisje is wat krap.
• Rita (7/5): - Schöne Atmosphäre… gute Ausstattung
• Erika (8/5): -
• Khallouf (10/5): Wandeful - Everythings Nothing
• Suton (10/5): -
• Dirk (10/5): super - Super Albergue mit tollem Konzept
• Dilsner (6/5): Wir würden nicht wieder dort übernachten - Frühstück schlechter als erwartet Keine Wurst bzw. Käse … Waschmaschinen und Trockner nicht zur Selbstbedienung …Waschzeug bis 17.30 …Preis 10,- und Wäsche noch nass
• Patrick (9/5): - Adequate number of bathrooms. Great location! The hostelera gave us a terrific recommendation for a restaurant. The kitchen facility was well stocked. This was our first stay in a hostel style albergue. We mostly enjoyed it.
• Flom (10/5): Nice and clean place - Close to the shops and restaurants Nothing, it was okay
• Christoph (7/5): -
• Isabella (9/5): -
• Mónica Mota (10/5): Super acolhedor - Wow, um espeço super acolhedor e muito bem recebidas pela simpatica Conchi. As camas superconfortaveis, limpas com luz e tomadas, e cortinas criando um espaço privado. Cacifos grandes com capacidade para as mochilas. Muito bonito e bem localizado dentro da fortaleza. Tem opcao para lavar roupa que deu jeito. Na zona dos cacifosnpodia ter só uns bancos ou prateleiras para ajusar quando temos de mecher nas mochilas varias pessoas. O pequeno almoço era bom podia ter só mais variedade. Agua do duche podia ser um pouco mais quente.
• Flávia (10/5): -
• Joachim (8/5): -
• joana (10/5): - I totally recommend this hostel, the best I had in the camino. Súper clean and quiet. Im coeliac and this was the first place I stayed with a glúten free toaster to avoid cross contamination. Really appreciate that they accommodate my needs
• 전 (10/5): - 장점: 친절, 깨끗, 편안함, 소통 모두 다 좋았습니다. 빨래를 빨아서 널 수 있는 공간이 제한되긴 하지만 세탁기 사용(유료)하면 문제없음
• matjaz (8/5): -
• Bert (10/5): Top plek. Aanrader ! - Nette slaapzaal met goed afgeschermde slaapplekken. Lekker ontbijt. Vriendelijk personeel. Mooie plek in oude centrum.
