New albergue in Oviedo

peregrina2000 · May 16, 2021

Just heard from a friend in Oviedo that a new albergue has opened right near the cathedral. She says it looks quite nice.

Already listed in Gronze.

Thanks Laurie. I took a look at the pictures and it looks fine but am surprised that a bed in a dorm is 20 euros. I walked the Primitivo in 2019 and never spent close to that in an albergue. Maybe due to the decrease in capacity due to Covid restrictions?

€20. I guess the market is shifting, inevitably. Does look very nice though.

I always used to brag to my friends (especially the younger ones) who were considering the walk that you could spend the night for around 6-10 Euros. Now, at the same time, especially with more experience (and age and pocket book) , I mostly avoided those places, enjoying more privacy and realizing there are alternatives. But those spartan but grand accommodations (comparatively), (based on my experience) were around 25-45 Euros per night last time I visited (still an amazing value if you consider a Motel 6 on a road trip in the US) . So if the privados are charging 20 Euros, um, how much for a private room in the usual family owned hotel/motel whatever they are called?

I am afraid the inflation will hit the Camino as well and wonder the impact on low budget pilgrims and students?

Remember this place is in the middle of the city, and there's an extra layer of taxation there.

I walk 4 Camino's and always always paid cash for all my entrance in albergues casa rural and in private rooms. In hotels I received a receipt! But!

Never ever I have received a receipt for my transactions...

I wonder were is that famous other extra level of taxes!!!

Goto booking.com and put in your dates and places and you will find out .

I paid 20€ for a bed in the Ágora albergue in Estella, where coincidentally I stayed exactly two years ago. But the bunks there were nicer with curtains, power outlets, etc., plus a very nice breakfast included.

I have been trying to find a way to avoid the circus during the last stages of Frances. In two hours you can take the Lugo - Ourense train and walk the last stages on the Plata. Is it a good idea...

https://www.alojamientoloshospitales.com/albergue I found a link to this place in an old thread, but can't find it on WisePilgrim, the Gronze map or if I search by address. Can someone tell me...
