“One of our favourite stays when walking the Camino Frances.”
Perfect place to stay in Villafranca del Bierzo when walking the Camino Frances. A warm and friendly welcome from Olga on arrival and excellent communication from her just after booking. Our room was spotlessly clean and had everything you need after a days walking. Comfy beds, lovely shower. The bonus for us was the self-serve breakfast and the kitchen facilities; we weren't expecting this, but it was such good value it was silly not to take up the offer. Lots of choice, that set us up for the day. Villafranca del Bierzo is a delightful town; you are a short distance from the town square with plenty of places to eat. There is a supermarket if you want to make use of the kitchen.

“Great Experience”
Great location, the Hostel was spotlessly clean top to bottom. It seems to be very new. I was really impressed with the room layout very thoughtful with some great yet simple design details. After staying is so many different dark rooms this room was bright and cheerful. Laundry service is available. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Exceptionally comfortable, clean room and facilities. Good kitchen with a kettle! Efficient check in. Quiet area but 10 metres from the Camino and a few minutes from the town square and supermarket. One of the best stays of our camino journey.
