Fabulous breakfast including tasty omelet served by a nice lady, friendly stuff, location, early check-in, and very spacious room.

The facility seems old but well renovated. The only issue was a noise from the upstairs, especially at the use of bathroom (probably thin floor?). The decoration of the room and the entire hotel was a little inconsistent (such as floral print and gingham check, etc.) , so better taste and consistency make the property look even more attractive.

A little slice of heaven while walking the Camino. The staff were lovely, the room and bathroom were luxury, the bed was enormous and very comfortable and the location was near to the cathedral without being disturbed by the bells. Access to tea, coffee and biscuits throughout the day was a nice touch. The breakfast was fantastic with fresh fruit, toast and eggs, delicious and well set up for another day’s walking. Highly recommended, thank you!

I couldn’t fault it.

This is such a cute hotel. It is thoughtfully designed and clean, and is one of the best places we stayed at on the Camino. There were complimentary snacks and tea, and we used the laundry service for 10 eu.

The only improvement I can think of is that some felt or silicone bumpers could be installed on the bathroom and room doors so that they would close more quietly. This is a very inexpensive and quick solution that would make this place perfect!

Excellent stay on the Camino. Very nice & elegant room with comfortable bed. Outdoor terrace. Small kitchen with microwave, coffee/tea & cookies. And an excellent host. I told her that I would miss the 7:30am breakfast because I planned to leave at 6:30am. That evening she brought me a big ham, egg & cheese bocadillo and an orange and a muffin…because she wanted me to have something to eat in the morning! So kind! I really appreciated that. She also allowed me to store my backpack at the hotel on the day I arrived…because I arrived early before my room was ready.

Fabulous place. Breakfast included. High quality finishes. All the comforts of home and more. Bed, pillows, sheets, towels, all were great. Great lighting, mirrors, seating, and outlets. Lots of outdoor balconies. Private kitchen on each floor with snacks, tea, coffee, water, milk included. They haven’t missed a detail. By far the best place we stayed on the Camino in 22 days. Did I mention how immaculate the room and bathroom is? I can’t say enough about Wendy. Great service, nice breakfast, wonderful place to stay. If you need a rest day, take it here.

We were greeted with warmth and invited to a very clean and comfortable room with a private bath and a bathtub with lots of towels. What a luxury for a pilgrim on the Camino! The floor shared a fully stocked kitchen with coffee, tea, snacks and candy. This is a must stay in Astorga. I told the owner we would skip breakfast so we can leave early and she insisted she would get up even earlier to cook for us. I can’t imagine anyone else getting treated better in the whole city.

Absolutely wonderful stay. We arrived an hour before check-in time and were waiting on the sidewalk and they let us check in early. The room was beautiful, AC was cold and the bed was so comfortable. We wanted to leave really early in the morning to continue on our Camino and the host even prepared a breakfast for us to take on the way out. A+++

Such a quaint place to stay. It was a very lovely respite on our Camino and was one of our splurges. We stayed 2 nights in Astorga and were happy we choose this place to stay. The staff was lovely. Breakfast was included and was amazing. They had a service to do your laundry and return it to you. It was very close to everything to see but in a quiet location. I would recommend it highly and would stay here again.

Awesome location coming in from the camino... right opposite the cathedral and a supermarket close by. Breakfast was sensational - cooked and all! Probs the best of my 42 days on camino! Loved the self serve kitchen and all the amenities available to use - oh yeah and the biscuits were a welcome treat! Loved the lil Terrace too and room very clean!

Room is on the smaller side when sharing with a friend (twin room)

My wife and I were very pleased with our stay at El Descanso de Wendy. The room was very nice, the bathroom was spacious and the patio was spectacular. We sat outside as twilight fell and enjoyed chocolates and pastries above the rooftops of Astorga. Great breakfast. Great bed. Quiet.

It was a bit difficult to locate. We had to ask the locals where it was. The receptionist was very helpful and patient but, failed to address some information like washing clothing. Not that big a deal but, it was information we could have used.
