Getting into Oviedo late, best place to stay?

[rorr99]

I had planned to get to Oviedo mid-afternoon but after some snafu’s with my flight and trains I’m getting in around 10pm. I had planned to walk to the municipal albergue but am not sure they’ll have room and it’s a further walk than several others. Does anyone have any experience with this?

According to Gronze.com, the pilgrim albergue in Oviedo closes at 9 pm. So you will need a Plan B.

Are you arriving in Oviedo by train? Or will you arrive in the AST airport and then have to get to Oviedo?

I have stayed in Hotel Fávila, which is very close to the train/bus station if that’s where you’re arriving. Nothing fancy, comfortable. There are lots of pensiones and small hotels in that part of town.

Thank you for that note! Looks like I won’t try to make it to the pilgrim albergue. I’m coming into Oviedo via bus from Madrid.

I stayed at the Favila Oviedo also … in front of the train station, which is beside the bus station. It was clean and decent. There are a number of places close to the train station.

I dislike making recommendations, especially when I’ve not visited for a couple of years, but the Favilla is one of my favourites. Consistently good over more than twenty years of acquaintance. Just remember, when you ask for an Orujo to take the sting out of the day, you want the “especial” not the “normal”. I think the “normal” is what the chamber persons use to sterilize even the most trashed of rooms

I came in late i April, got a single room here for 36 Euro. 10 min walk from bus staion, and 10 min walk to the cathedral.

I've also stayed in Hotel Favila. I recommend it.

Also a Favila fan! Very close to the Camino. If you walk towards the train station on Calle Uria if you make a left unto Ave Santander there is a great coffee shop on the corner Cafeteria Santa Cristina that opens early. Hope you get to visit Mafalda en el Parque de San Francisco. Buen Camino!

As another suggestion, I found a flight from Madrid to Oviedo for less than a train and hotel. Iberia Airlines.
