Breakfast
For an additional fee, typically around 8€, the breakfast is seen as a good value by many, despite some considering it a bit pricey or not entirely up to their expectations in terms of portion size or the selection of local products. Some noted the availability of pre-packaged items, expressing a desire for fresher alternatives like croissants. The breakfast could be easily booked in advance and the convenience of early breakfast was also noted.
A few guests felt the breakfast was less than stellar, citing it as too simple or costly relative to its content. They mentioned it might not measure up to other local offerings. However, the service and the communal area where breakfast is served seem to be appreciated, contributing positively to the overall experience.
The possibility to add breakfast is seen as a plus and those who did try it often found it to be a treat that rounded out their stay at the hostel nicely.
Dinner
In addition to the hostel's facilities, several guests recommend dining at the Nepalese restaurant in town, which comes highly recommended. However, it's noted that Almograve is a small place with limited high-quality dining options, making the well-equipped kitchen a valuable alternative. The communal kitchen and shared areas offer a wonderful setting for guests to prepare their own meals and socialize, adding to the overall appeal of the hostel.
Rooms
Dormitory rooms are described as comfortable, even if occasionally deemed small for four occupants. Shared bathrooms sometimes posed a minor inconvenience due to their limited number.

Guests found the rooms bright and well-ventilated, which is a significant factor in their stay. While some private rooms lack windows, making them feel slightly damp or musty, this is not a universal experience. Spaciousness varies with some double rooms being noted as relatively small, yet still functional and sufficient for a short stay.
Self-check-in is praised for its simplicity and efficiency with clear instructions provided for a seamless experience. The communal areas, including a large, well-equipped kitchen, receive positive remarks for their design and utility, complementing the private spaces well.
