Albergue de Najera

I stayed with some friends on 25 August 2026 along with most of the group of pilgrims that all started together from St Jean, so the atmosphere was great. It is situated next to a river where you can soak your feet.

The albergue itself was pretty average, the volunteers did not seem to enjoy being there, and the female showers (3) and toilets (2) were pretty dirty. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking but is quite small so only one group can cook at a time.

I had a fantastic stay here! Brian especially was fantastic; as a fellow pilgrim, he understood exactly how to provide for the pilgrim’s need while lifting the spirit. Was genuinely fun to chat with him, which reflects the overall atmosphere!

at 14:30 full. big groups of south coreans with baggage transport :-(

Slightly bitchy energy coming from the volunteer whose first words were "first all, go outside and put your shoes over there." Other than that it's a functional albergue. Seems like the most rules oriented of all that I've been to so far. Kick you out at 8am at the latest

This place is fantastic especially for the price. I can confirm people are using the stove.
This place filled up about 3.30 today

Volunteer register every pilgrimage with smiling face and respond all inquiry patiently. They are so kind and friendly.
In the morning, a cup of coffee to warm my heart.

The volunteers of the Albergue give a warm welcome with a smiley face. They stay at the Albergue all the time to offer help and guidance. And a cup of hot coffee in the morning to warm my stomach before we start our walk.

It was a good place to stay. Despite the big room, there was not much noise. The showers were enough for all pilgrims. They even opened a little earlier than 2. The stove is broken, just to give heads up. It depends on donations, minimum is 6€.

I enjoyed my stay here. It was clean and the hospiliteros were really nice. The bunks are wooden which was a great change from the wonky and noisy metal ones. The bathroom stalls were a bit small but they had separate bathrooms for male and females which I appreciated.

Such a lovely hostel, you cannot believe it is only 6euro. The hospitalieros are lovely kind men. They keep the fairly small spaces for so many pilgrims feeling spacious. They really should charge more, But you will not regret coming here, it is genuinely is a good place to stay with all the things a simple pilgrim needs.

Phone number is 941095730
Fully equipped kitchen with all appliances working

Stove is seemingly permanently broken. No oven or other way to heat food, hard to eat when you plan on a kitchen to make food.

Opens at 14:00 now (2:00 pm).

I see they had refurbished and reduced the number of beds. I stayed here in 2018, i like the new changes, but I miss the old bunch of hospitaleros.

Awful. Not atmosphere. Set among decrepit buildings.

Hated this place. Could not wait to move on

This is closed for repairs. Redirects munipical pilgrims to Fronton Municipal, but it doesn't open until 4pm. Be careful of Najero, difficult to find a bed without booking.

We got to Najera today hoping to stay there but it is closed for repairs.

We were a group of 3 and were put in a room with just 3 beds..perfect! It was a shared bathroom with the rest of the floor but is was large and clean. Great space downstairs with a mini fridge and plenty of tables.

I arrived here yesterday, Nov. 7, 2021, as a first time hospitelero. There are 45 beds available, half capacity, in one room. The albergue now opens at 14, WiFi is planned for the future but it is not in operation now.
