An okay place to start the Camino de Frances. Room for pilgrims and their packs, comfy bed, and kitchenette. Staff was super accommodating by WhatsApp, barely saw them in person but didn't need them either.

Location is superb, walk anywhere in SJPdP, not a problem at all. For a leaping off point, no complaints whatsoever. Stay a day or three, no worries.

Bit disappointed

To be positive about the hotel, the receptionist was helpful, the room was spacious, it had eating and drinking facilities and it was in a good location. However parking was not close by and the bed was too soft for our comfort.

My stay was great. The little room #10 is clean and well appointed. It’s an accessible room, which is great. Although the water from the shower frequently went everywhere because the shower drain didn’t clear quick enough. You just learn to run a slower shower though :) Hosts were great and quickly fixed the batteries in the AC remote. Room was toasty and bed was super comfy. Easy walk to town and to the Pilgrim office for those on the Camino. Only a short walk to the start!

An excellent value for a lone traveler. The most comfortable bed during my extended trip in Europe! Make sure, as I did not, to review the check-in instructions a day or two ahead; the staff will arrange to meet you. Otherwise, it may be a bit disconcerting to arrive to an open door, a dark hallway, and no one to speak with.
