Liked the location. Right on the plaza and the Camino de Santiago. The room was spacious and clean. As was the bathroom although I did not book a disability room. The breakfast was great value for money. The staff welcoming and accommodating.

It really looks like an old castle. It was built in the 17th century.

The town is full of historic buildings and sites, and the surrounding area is stunning and interesting. Being a significant stop on the El Camino Santigo adds to vibrancy. The viticulture and grape industry is beautiful in the surrounding region, and in a very short distance you can be lost in a myriad of very old rural villages.

Villafranca del Bierzo is an amazing town, full of history...
Villafranca del Bierzo is an amazing town, full of history and with beautiful historic buildings. It is truly an enchanted medieval town in the path of the french Camino de Santiago. We arrived for the town’s celebration of their patron: “El Cristo de la Esperanza”. The “Ayuntamiento” organized a lot of activities, a fair, concerts until late night, wine tasting and tapas. It was memorable. The town is in the UNESCO list of historic places. The Church of Santiago with Las Puertas del Perdon, the church of San Nicolas, La Colegiata, the church of San Francisco have been built centuries ago and are witnesses of the history of the town. These buildings are artistic representations of other times and tell you about the glorious past of Villafranca del Bierzo and its vibrant present. The food is delicious.

Good central location and small terrace with view to a church on the hill above. Compact apartment well-equipped and comfortable. Parking is not easy nearby but there’s plenty up near the Tourist Office. The host was friendly and was at the apartment within a few minutes of phoning him when we arrived.

We spent only one night in Villafranca as we were walking the Camino de Santiago. Nestled between mountains, this is definitely one of the most beautiful towns we passed through, and there were many lovely ones. Points of interest include La Puerta del Perdón and Plaza Mayor. Puerta del Perdón Restaurant served us one of the best meals we had on our entire trip. Villafranca is in the famous Bierzo wine region, so don't miss trying the wonderful wines!

Wonderful small village with a lot of history and points of interest for those interested in culture, history and religion. It has a castle, several palaces, churches and monasteries from 12-16th century.
Take the chance to enjoy the wine with the designation of origin of Villafranca!

I am a pilgrim walking along Camino de Santiago.
I am a pilgrim walking along Camino de Santiago. Camino Santiago is going through Villafranco-del-Bierzo. Yo can have rest and good meal at any cafe or restaurant here. They are always ready for pilgrims. The town has special signs for those who walks along Camino, so yes, it is easy to walk around. There are many churches there, a castle and a very beautiful garden which dates back to the 17th century.

Suite was awesome! Generous sized tub, double sink in the bathroom with ample counter space. Sitting area with TV and bed made up with the extra pillows that we had requested using booking messenger! Front desk staff was excellent. Excellent suggestions for sights to see and recommended a new restaurant in town. Helped us book hotel rooms in two towns where Booking.com said there was no availability. We heard the indoor pool was a must see, but we missed it. Breakfast was one of the most leisurely and enjoyable of our vacation.
Although the lodging is outside the historic center, it is very convenient, especially if you are traveling towards Lugo, since the bus stop is just a few steps from the hostel. On the other hand the rooms and bathroom are clean and in good condition. The breakfast is very good, to start a day in this small town! Overall I really enjoyed my stay in this area. The historic center is only a 5 or 6 minute walk away and very close to the hotel. Also, if it is a hot day, there is a spa less than 5 minutes away.
Elegantly decorated, kind and welcoming staff, generous textiles feel luxurious in this mountain town setting after a 22Km trek with full pack on a sunny winter’s day.
The bed was comfortable, the soak in a shallow warm bath absolutely decadent. Directions given to the Plaza Mayor in search of a snack and a cold beverage while enjoying a rare day of bright sunshine.
Breakfast options were abundant and I felt spoiled with a place set for me in the side dining room.
A true gem along the Camino.
It's probably the best hostel I've stayed in on the Camino. It was like a resort hotel. 10 single beds (not bunks) in the room with clean cotton sheets, plenty of space, a nice modern bar, and a garden terrace. Dinner cooked by hosptalero's mother was well above average for a pilgrim meal, as was the wine, which was local. Couldn't recommend it more highly.
Location was fantastic in main square. Restaurants and cafés all within minutes.
Comfortable spacious room with great views.
Two big single beds together made for a huge double. Very comfortable mattress and pillows.
Parking was not a problem although not at hotel it was free onstreet parking.
Lovely view from room.
The room was tidy, cozy and very well equiped.
The hotel is on top of a hill so the landscape is beautiful.
The owner made me feel super confortable, I enjoyed the conversation and the atmosphere of such a special place.
I am really looking forward to come back.
The host was the kindest person on the Camino. He did everything a person would do to earn repeat customers but on the Camino he knows most likely no one will ever return. Just an incredibly place to stay with probably the best chef in Spain doing dinner.
The host was wonderful and she has a dog! The albergue was perfectly located and simply lovely. She had candles burning in the bathroom when I arrived. The view from the back yard was stunning! One of my favorite albergues of my entire Camino!
Easy to find. Super clean. Big bright room and bathroom. Lady working there was lovely. No food but gorgeous meal in restaurant at bottom of the street. Very handy to Camino route.
I'm so pleased I stayed in this hotel.
Staff Great.
Breakfast was very disappointing for e10.
.
Road noise unbearable.
Bathroom great.
A hotel charging premium lacking experience of what is on offer.
Poor breakfast option and noise. Would not use again
Beautiful old, athmospheric monastery with large wide corridors and lovely spacious rooms. Staff were very pleasent. Very near town center on the camino. Convenient laundry facilities in hotel
Great view from my window. Nice size room. Clean. One of the easier shower doors for me to figure out how to open/close while staying in private rooms with bathrooms on the Camino Frances.
