Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for albergues between Ponferrada and Santiago that have that special touch… a nice community dinner or great breakfast or great hosts… common room…any recommendations?

Wonderful donativo. The hospitalarios couldn't be more generous and kind and giving. The albergue is clean and has everything you need. There is a very large kitchen and lots of pilgrims prepare meals there. Great feeling

A very clean, basic and welcoming place to stay in a small town getting ready for the big climb ahead:

+1 for Albergue el Castillo - Villafranca del Bierzo (great hospitalero - her name escapes me now)
+1 for Albergue Ecologico El Beso - about 1.5k from Triacastela on original route (not Samos). Excellent vegan dinner.

and to add:

Hostería de Gonzar - Gonzar (fairly new, excellent variety of food, bar onsite, pool, shared & private rooms)
Albergue O Candil - Melide (right in town on Camino path, new(ish) facility)
Albergue Turistico Salceda - Salceda (just 24k from Santiago, nice facility with great restaurant onsite)

Last walk was 2016, but Pequeno Potala In Ruitelan was one of the best communal experiences with Hosts Luis and Carlos. And sets up for an easier walk up to Ocebreiro. And Fonfria, at the round house across the road is always good communal meal to meet fellows. (Pension a reboleira)

A Reboleira in Fonfria was really nice, and rhe communal dinner was one of my favourite from last year - we had to ask then to stop bringing out more food as everyone was so full!

Yes I unfortunately don't recall it either but we all should remember that SURI is "La Jefa"!
