Albergue La Costana, Oviedo Overview
Albergue La Costana is located in Oviedo, Spain. Rated 6.8 out of 10 based on 160 guest reviews.
Albergue La Costana is a practical hostel base in Oviedo, Spain, set on C/ La Costana 6 just outside the busiest streets, which helps keep the atmosphere calm. The property is geared toward travellers who don’t mind shared spaces, with a shared lounge/TV area, a shared kitchen for simple meals, and a public bath for unwinding after a day on your feet. Rooms are non-smoking, and the hostel also states that cleaning standards are effective against Coronavirus, with guest rooms disinfected between stays and staff following local safety protocols.
With a guest rating of 6.8/10 from 160 reviews, recent feedback suggests a mixed but generally workable experience: many guests appreciate the homey, communal feel and the chance to cook or relax together, while others note that it’s more of a hostel-style stay than a hotel experience. Check-in runs from 05:00 PM to 10:00 PM, so plan arrivals accordingly.
From here, you can reach key Oviedo sights such as the Catedral de Oviedo (around 2 km), Plaza de la Constitución (about 2 km), and the Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias (around 2 km) without needing a car for every outing. El Milán Campus is also roughly 2 km away, making it a sensible option for visitors with university-related plans.
Albergue La Costana is best for solo explorers and budget-minded travellers who want a straightforward base, appreciate shared facilities like the kitchen and lounge, and prefer exploring Oviedo on foot rather than staying in a full-service hotel.
Important information
The property is closed, daily, for cleaning purposes between 12:00 -17:00. No access possible during that time.Managed by a private host
Should You Book Albergue La Costana?
Worth considering if you’re comfortable with hostel-style shared spaces and want a calm base just outside Oviedo’s busiest streets. With a 6.8/10 rating from 160 reviews, it’s a practical option, but it’s not a top pick for travelers seeking privacy or a high-end experience.
Best For
- Budget-focused travelers who are fine with shared kitchen and shared lounge/TV area
- Solo travelers who enjoy a social, communal hostel atmosphere
- People who want a quieter base while still being within a short drive/walk to Oviedo sights like the Cathedral and Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias
- Travelers who prefer a straightforward stay with basic amenities and shared common areas (board games/puzzles, outdoor furniture)
Not Ideal For
- Travelers who need private, non-shared facilities since the property is geared toward shared spaces
- Light sleepers or anyone sensitive to hostel dynamics, since shared common areas can be less quiet than private hotels
- Guests who arrive late or need flexible check-in, because check-in is only available from 05:00 PM to 10:00 PM
What to Expect
You arrive to a calm, slightly out-of-the-way setting on C/ La Costana, which helps the atmosphere feel less hectic than the busiest central streets. Inside, the stay is clearly hostel-style, with a shared lounge/TV area and a shared kitchen for simple meals, plus board games/puzzles to pass the time. The public bath and outdoor furniture add some variety to the routine, and the property emphasizes cleaning and safety protocols between stays. Overall, the 6.8/10 guest rating suggests a practical experience that works best for travelers who don’t mind sharing space and keeping expectations basic.
