enjoyable and a great start

the owner was super friendly and gave some great tips about starting the camino over the pyrenees. the rooms were clean, and the room i stayed in had a/c which worked great!

showers had hot water, but showers were limited so there was little wait. i recommend this albergue to anyone starting in sjpp!

Overall Nkce Stay

Welcoming staff/owner. Comfortable dining area and back patio. Facilities and rooms were clean. The only drawback for me were the metal bunk beds that creaked with any movement.

Not bad

Fun, slightly quirky hospitalaro. Decent kitchen. Area outside for washing clothes. Can’t check in until 4, which is quite late. Beds are in cubicles inside one larger room. The light is on a motion sensor so turns on anytime someone goes to the bathroom which isn’t ideal.

Great place to start

This is a great place to stay in St. Jean Pied de Port. The hospitalero is friendly. The breakfast was unique among the albergues we stayed at: for a small price, they provided eggs, coffee, bread, fruit, everything you’d want for a good breakfast, along with a stove and utensils for cooking. With a short day’s hike to Orisson, we took our time and enjoyed breakfast very much. It also gave us time to meet other peregrinos just starting out.

There is not communal dinner, but there is a common area where pilgrims hang out, so it’s easy to meet others.

The beds and bathrooms are fine. We had a great stay at this albergue, a welcoming introduction to the Camino.

The prototypical albergue

Eric, of course, is fantastic! His spiel preparing you for the way is worth the price. Before I started my Camino, this albergue is exactly what I imagined - except that there are plenty of toilets and more showers! There’s even a separate (do it yourself) area to do your laundry. 5 stars of humble simplicity.

It was an amazing Hostpitalero Eric…what a kind gentleman

An amazing personality , kind and bighearted! Good breakfast and clean showers ! I slept well ..only queaking floors..be soft and considerate if you must use the toilet in the middle of the night 🙏

Lovely man but freezing cold!

The man who explained the way to me was absolutely lovely, rooms are clean and basic. So cold at night. I wore a hat and scarf and was still cold.
