Albergue de la Piedra

Villafranca del Bierzo

Description and Notice
Reservations accepted
Yes

Los hospitaleros hablan inglés, bien, y son de los más amables del camino. El río está justo enfrente, y es el mejor lugar para remojarse los pies.

¡Todas las literas son bajas!

NOTA: Si te alojas aquí, y si quieres tomar el desvío a Pradela al salir de Villafranca, asegúrate de caminar de vuelta hacia Villafranca un corto trecho y tomar el sendero que gira bruscamente a la izquierda.

They wash and folded our laundry for 6€

Their pre packaged breakfast was a great start to our day.

Rooms were spacious and offered a clothing line out the window.

Super friendly and helpful

This is a beautiful albergue. Dorm room has a balcony and floor to ceiling window. Day 25 of my Camino and this is one of my favorites so far. I highly recommend Albergue de la Piedra.

Single beds in dorms, updated facilities, full kitchen, built into the hill so some rock is part of the building, at the end of town for an easier start, bagged breakfast available for purchase, nice owner, will spin dry hand-washed laundry for free. Close to grocery store and restaurant. Close access to river if you want to cool your feet. Definitely worth a stop!

This place was great! Wonderful hosts! Thoughtful! I agree with the positive comments. The single real beds not double bunks is proof positive that they care and are not money hungry!

This alburgue is perfect. Our own room for €36. An excellent and well equipped kitchen. Very comfortable. The hosts are lovely and I loved their dog.

So lovely I had a rest day here. The dormitory beds are beds, not bunks. There are shelves next to each bed with three for four sockets each. Tea and coffee on arrival and available throughout your stay. The handwashing sinks are decent and clean and you can have your clothes spun for free. The dorm has hangers for your washing. Great kitchen. They were also very accomodating when I wanted a bed and there was a wait list. They had great communication and were friendly. Get the sense the couple did the Camino themselves and then opened one up to serve. I will remember this place.

Great place with choice of private rooms at great prices or beds in dorms. The best feature is the full kitchen with 4 burner stove where I ‘invented’ Camino chicken. It’s also on the way out of town if you choose the old road option. Highly recommend.

On Camino, arrived in Villafranca and it is not open. Unfortunately have to find another place. Good thing is they say they’re making it all ready to go and it should open tomorrow night. Buen Camino.

The Hostal is very nice and clean. Only lower bunk beds. Nice space between the beds. Extremely nice hostess and host. They even helped with the laundry and offered to go by car to pick up our take-away pizzas. To be highly recommended.

One of my favourite places to stay on the camino. Similar to previous reviews - free tea/coffee, nice varied breakfast hamper option, friendly hosts who gave clothes spin for free, option to self launder or washer/dryer. clean sheets, bathroom, kitchen well stocked. shame no communal area but right by the river - perfect for a dip post hike. also past the town but not far, also means heading off in the morning is easier. would recommend
