Albergue Villa de Luarca

Albergue was good and showers were hot and clean. No negative issues at all.
Highly recommended.

Most horrible experience ever. There was water leaking from the ceiling in the bed of another guest. The owner just brought an old dirty mattress, refused to speak and fled away without any apologies.

Extremely impolite and bad service. Do not stay here.

very basic one room for all pilgrims. three bathrooms but the water wasn’t very warm.

The good thing is that this albergue is clean.

The not so good is that the staff generally seemed annoyed with pilgrims and at times were rude.

Aldo, there’s no staff in reception, instead you have to walk across the street to Hotel Villa de Luarca where you have to call them.

Be sure to make sure they confirm with you that you have a reservation. I asked to reserve a room, they responded via WhatsApp asking what time I would be arriving and I told them 3pm. When I got here they said they were full. So just call if you can and make sure they confirm.

I can also confirm that currently there are no bed bugs. Very central location and there's a grocery store nearby. Rather basic kitchen facilities. Good and polite service, overall clean facilities. Laundry washing and drying - 6 EUR for up to 2 kg (additional cost for each extra kg).

No bed bugs,all safe with that!
3 showers,but all of them together with wc.No sepererated wc,so if someone is in the shower and u need toilet thats unfortunate.

Matresses have rust colored staining, sigb of bed bug excement. Left with fresh 18 bites this morning

This albuerge is nice and tidy, but I woke up with arms covered by bed bugs bites. My firt experience of that kind on camino del norte.

Great place to stay. I can confirm the other reviews. But there is no WiFi in practice. Router and Password are there, but almost nobody get's in.

A really nice place to stay. Clean, tidy, good showers and washing facilities and the opportunity to have your laundry done for 6e and delivered back to your bunk. Only criticism is the kitchen isn’t up to much, not kettle or cooked but there is a microwave. Dia supermarket around the corner and ample eating places.

To me a really nice albergue, right on the camino with 22 bed. All very clean, 2 bathrooms with shower and toilet. All services closeby, best option in town. The municipal albergue in La Almuña is about 2 km from the camino.

Albergue opens at 12pm, so you can check in early and see the cute town.
Meals are expensive in Luarca : €18 for a menu meal.

Beautiful town, nice albergue and I had a positive experience with the host. Do your own laundry if you don’t want to pay! If the weather is nice it’s a must to stay in this town.

We came here for a good bed with a group of 4. Beds are clean, and facilities are okay. Service is terrible, really commercial & most unfriendly host we’ve had so far on the Camino. He actually weighed our laundry with a scale and we were just over 2kg, so we had to pay extra. No English speaker. Highly doubtful way of taking a reservation: send a picture of your credit card through WhatsApp.

nice clean place with a good clean showers in the center of the town, 12 euros per person is worth it!

This place is completely business oriented and only looks at people as money. Do not call. To reserve a bed you need to email hotelluarca@yahoo.es and send them your credit card information. The albergue charges you in advance and must send you a confirmation email to complete the reservation. The hotel across the street runs the albergue. The service and treatment from the hospitalero was cold and unprovoked rude towards pilgrims.

12€/person now and 6€ to use the washer & dryer (up to 4 kg). Each bed has its own or is near an outlet and comes with bed & pillow liner.
