Hostel Gascona Oviedo works like a capsule hotel: beds in individual pods within a shared space. It is on Calle Gascona, in the centre, and is a practical option if you travel alone and want to keep the cost of sleeping down.
Location and getting around
Calle Gascona runs down towards the Old Town. Oviedo Cathedral and the Teatro Campoamor are about 5 minutes away on foot, and Calle Uría another 5.
If you arrive by bus, the station is about 10 minutes on foot; the Oviedo train station is about 15. To go up to Santa María del Naranco it is about 40 minutes’ walk, or a taxi if you prefer not to walk so far.
Rooms and facilities
Each guest has a pod, with an individual wardrobe. Bed linen and towels are included, something that does not always happen in this type of accommodation.
Wi-Fi, a shared kitchen and a common room are not listed, and breakfast is not served. If any of these points matters to you, confirm beforehand.
Who it suits
- Solo travellers who only need a bed and a wardrobe.
- Those staying one or two nights who will spend the day out.
- Anyone who wants to be within walking distance of the centre without paying for a whole room.
- Visitors to the university or on errands who need something functional.
Good to know
- The pods are in a shared space: do not expect the privacy of a private room.
- Check-in is from 14:00 to 22:00. If you arrive later, arrange it with the accommodation.
- Check-out is from 11:00 to 12:00.
- There is no breakfast.
