Albergue Luz de Frómista

We loved it here. Great location, clean toilets and a nice host.

Highly recommended
Very clean, comfortable
No cons

Had a restful stay at this albuergue and highly recommend it. Historic building, welcoming hosts and everything I needed to cook and stay the night. I left a favorite pair of pants behind and they were incredibly helpful in arranging the transfer service to catch them up to me 2 days later. The Camino spirit is strong in this one😊 and an excellent bakery right around the corner!

Very nice stay at Albergue Luz de Fromista! Patrick was very responsive and had my name on my bed when I arrived! Very clean everything and great social spaces. I thought it was great.

This is a wonderful place! Beds are comfy. Lots of lounge space. Great kitchen. Large patio. Very clean. The hosts are the best and very experienced pilgrims.

Patrick went out of his way to offer us a bed when it seemed impossible to stay in the town. He is happy to share his experience and knowledge of the Camino. We highly recommend staying there. Greg and Ingrid Somerville

I had a wonderful stay at this albergue. I arrived early as I was not very well and had got a taxi from Castrojeriz. Palme allowed me inside and I rested in the lounge. Both she and her husband Patrick allowed me to rest again the following morning. They are both very kind, wonderful people - they have only recently taken over the albergue.

The albergue may not be as modern as other ones but it is still wonderfully clean and tidy and that is what matters most.

They are the kindest Albergue owners I have met on the Camino thus far.

Hello, there are new owners, Patrik and Palma, you can ask them, they are very nice people. Telf.: 34678214939

The Beds are of Metal and noisy. The owner theme really not to love his job.
Help? Nothing.

Tried to book a room but it is closed :-( Hopefully it opens a bit later.

It costs more than the other albergues. One Euro extra for sheets. The WiFi is slow and doesn't work in every room. The kitchen is small with a table and two chairs. I don't know how it is supposed to work during high season, if you want to cook or in the morning when you want to have a sandwich and a coffee. Pilgrims often leave spices, oil behind but nothing here not even salt. The heating was turned off although it was cold.
The bathroom and the location were the only positive for me.

The host is a lovely gentleman and an artist. The alburgue cat kept my husband company in his bed. Very good kitchen. A really lovely experience.

Nice kitchen and outdoor space, bunks are new and shower has a shelf for clothes. However, they do make you pay extra for paper sheets which is slightly frustrating considering the price.

Albergue is open for business and Gabriel was very friendly and welcoming.

There is a kitchen with a stove, kettle fridge and all the basic utensils so it's easy to cook up a meal. Plenty of resting space and a dining area. Clean showers, beds unfortunately come uncovered but they do have cosy blankets.

The wifi signal was weak, I couldn't connect to it at all.

There is a shop opposite the albergue and a really good pharmacy not far from the cathedral. Nice bakery right around the corner that opens at 6:30/7am.

Texted to see if I could get a room and they responded that they are closed

I had a great stay in this albergue. Host is very friendly and considerate to the pilgrims. Separate gender restroom/showers. Beds were comfortable, bunk bed ladders doesn't hurt your feet when climbing. There were power outlets even for the upper beds which is very considerate/nice. Place is very clean, nice kitchen, and open area in the back for laundry or socializing. There are friendly cats roaming around the first floor.

Very helpful host. Our daughter and her boyfriend were leaving us here and he allowed them to use the facilities and guided us to the train staton. Facilities good. You can hear traffic and the odd train but that didn’t stop me from getting a good night’s rest.

I stayed on Friday, 9th September. Albergue is fine but the noise from nearby nightclub is horrendous. It went on till 3.30am and it was wayyy too loud.

Enjoy clean rooms with nice ladders for top bunks that won’t hurt your feet, an owner who cares about where he places you in the room, and a women only room. Rooms have lockers and great ventilation, hard to find on the Camino. Gabriel is just lovely, and his cat Maui sat with me for over an hour as I waited. I plan to stay here on my next Camino. I recommend you eat at the San Martin hotel for dinner, the fish on the pilgrim menu is to die for!
