Search Your Villanasur-Rio de Oca Hotels

The hotel was one of the more unique hotels that we stayed at while we did the Camino since it was formerly a hospital. It has many old pieces through the building as decoration. It is also conveniently located along the Camino with a couple bars/restaurants and a mini store within walking distance. We enjoyed the view from our window of the countryside. The breakfast buffet was filling and had a variety of fruits, pastries, choice of fried or scrambled eggs, juices, coffee, hot chocolate, bread, ham, cheese, yogurt. Be sure to go to the “cafeteria” and not the restaurant for the breakfast buffet if it’s included with your room price. We accidentally went to the restaurant first which is attached to the hotel and there was all kinds of confusion amongst our fellow pilgrims who also showed up to the restaurant and were being charged for a croissant and coffee. Luckily, I remembered that the person checking us in had pointed in the opposite direction of the restaurant when referring to the cafeteria. As far as the actual room, it was okay. The room was on the smaller side and the bed sagged in the middle. The headboard was also loose and wobbled. The bathroom had a strange smell. We had the windows open at night to let a breeze in since there is no AC (there’s a thermostat on the wall, but the AC did not work) and we could hear cars throughout the night.

The room is clean, spacious and very quiet. The manager is very kind and friendly, I was glad to have met him. It is only to improve the WiFi. I advise who walks the Santiago Road even if the countryman offers little.

En la ruta de la CAM por Burgos y las Merindades hemos estado 4d/3n. La habitación con una cama cómoda, mini frigorífico y baño con lo esencial para el aseo. Todo muy limpio, el personal muy amable. Si se quiere tomar algo se puede hacer en la cafetería que hay en la recepción con buenos precios. El buffet del desayuno normal pero suficiente, además, cuando llegavamos nos tenían preparadas tostadas recién hechas y así no teníamos que esperar, todo un detalle. Para ir a Briviesca se puede hacer andando, en recepción te indican cómo hacerlo. Sitio agradable
