Astorga

Is there a private albergue in Astorga where one can make a reservation?
If not, what budget accommodation is there, besides the two main albergues?

We made a reservation and stayed at hospital de San Javier last year. A big albergue with large dormitories.

Edited.

Four km west of Astorga on the CF is the small hamlet Murias de Rechivaldo where you can reserve in the pleasant private albergue Las Aguedas. See more here.

On route between Astorga and Murias you will pass the poignant Memorial Tree hung with shells in memory of Denise Thiem. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...-memorial-tree-a-place-for-your-shells.39490/

Are you sure that was Albergue San Juan in Astorga?
The closeast by its name I know there is San Javier. Gronze has NO for reservations, Eroski YES and Mundicamino doesn't have this info.
Also prices vary from 6€, 8€ to 10€. I guess not all of these sites updated their info yet

Albergue San Javier was a private albergue in 2012, we were walk in so I'm not sure about reservations. It was run by a Brazilian family and we found it very nice. It is just around the corner from the Cathedral and is near nice places to eat. Address and phone number below.

Address: Calle Portería, 6, 24700 Astorga, León, Spain
Phone:+34 987 61 85 32

I edited my post, it was the San Javier where we stayed.

I second that mspath. A quite distinctive albergue.

Thanks all for the info. I was looking on Gronze, and it shows one cannot make reservations at Albergue San Javier; hence my query. Thanks for that correction! I’ve now found an email address:
alberguesanjavier@hotmail.com
But I quite like Margaret’s suggestion of going on to Murias de Rechivaldo.
