Cons: A friend booked this and didnt realize it was on the far side of town, this added to our walk. It was great to have sheets and breakfast, but I really think the room is overpriced.

Pros: Fabulous meal simple but fantastic value and very tasty.very friendly staff

Cons: Two of the three rooms had a strong drain smell

Pros: The rooms were acceptable nothing more. The little town was interesting and the country "feel" was good.

Cons: I mad a mistake while booking on line by asking for a "family room" I've been travelling for 3 weeks and am experienced at booking on line so I'm not sure how that happened. When we arrived and the owner saw only two of us he said that we still had to pay for a family suite. He said I booked it that way so I had to pay in full even though we were the only guests. He could have easily assigned us another room. In the morning as we were packing up he actually chased us to make sure we were paying...I replied I will be right there after which he sent his wife to chase after my wife for payment. We would not recommend this place, found it difficult to find and the owner certainly didn't deserve our business.

Pros: Bed very confortable. Good restaurant.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Clean, affordable, comfortable

Pros: Quiet location and simple food

Pros: The hotel is at the heart of a traditional Basque village. The dinner was excellent, as was the breakfast. We were there on a Friday evening and lucky enough to watch the local dance practice right next to the hotel. Great atmosphere.

Pros: The place was nice and clean. Breakfast was ok.

Cons: If you are on foot, it is several kilometers from St Jean PieddePort and the extra distance to town adds to the walk to Roncesvalles

Pros: We had a wonderful time, lovely setting and a really lovely lady who was so helpful. We will visit again soon.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Pros: Owner was very kind. She drove me to town to start the Camino. Really enjoyed her.

Pros: The elderly lady was beautiful. She was so kind. Reminded me of my grandmother.

Pros: Pascaline is a very nice person, dedicated to her guests.

Pros: The owner of the property drove me to St jean-pied-port

Pros: very scenic & quite place to stay on your route to the Santiago de compostella. However, we had some difficulty communicating with the host in English, who was near her nineties, so had to use the google translator. Also, the pictures shown as if each room is en-suit, but it wasn't. Great value for money though.

Cons: Some difficulties communicating with the host.

Pros: Located out side of St Jean de Pied Porte, no transport available, so reliant on owner for a lift to town & back

Pros: Pascalina was amazing! She was very friendly and met my every need. She brought my laundry in to hang in the garage so it would dry over night, and she insisted on driving me to town to begin my Camino. I would highly recommend a stay at Pascalina’s!

Pros: The view was amazing. Peaceful and quiet accommodation. Regis our host was wonderful, friendly and funny. Very helpful and a very good chef. Great value for money on the Camino route.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Host rude and unwelcoming on arrival. Air conditioner not working. Beds uncomfortable. No advance warning at time of booking that sheets and towels are an additional cost. As this was the first night of my holiday it was a disappointing start to my holiday.

Pros: The view from the patio of the hostel was tremendous. The AC worked well as did the WIFI. The man who served us breakfast was very nice but the meal was not great- yogurt, toast and jam, and a bowl of coffee for 5 euros each.

Cons: This hostel is a long way outside of St Jean Pied de Port. We came in from the train station and had to drag our luggage up a cobblestone street and then almost straight uphill to reach it! The room was VERY basic, just a bed with night tables on either side and a bath room with shower where you couldn't control the temperature of the water!

Pros: Everything especially location and views and staff.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Loved the host and the view! Location was great for a quick start on the camino as you are already a bit out of town. Beds were comfy and clean. I shared a 4 bed room with a older couple and there was air conditioning and a blanket. It was over 40 degrees when I was there so super hot

Cons: I didn't care for the pilgrim's dinner. I recommend going into town. Our host was lovely but I didn't enjoy the meal of a cold grey viscous melon soup and a slice of tuna loaf(?)... a lot of grey food...

Pros: Good food and great staff

Pros: Welcoming host, the view cannot be beat! Out of town just enough to offer quiet. Visit pilgrims office, stores, and take your dinner with you from town as there is a bit of a hill climb to get here and you won't want to go backwards into town.

Pros: Friendly, helpful and very clean.

Cons: Would have been good if we could hired towels and offered a little extra for breakfast.

Cons: I requested gluten free in advance but the meals that were served did not cater for gluten free.

Pros: The location was perfect and the room very clean .

Cons: The hostel offered a meal and packed lunch both of which were not good quality with no fruit of vegetables in sight . Difficult when you are a vegetarian. The packed lunch was 4 euros but all you got for that was a half baguette not buttered with some cheese in . There was nothing else with it and it was dry and not sufficient .

Pros: It is 2km towards the Napoleon route

Cons: I think it is a little overpriced, they offer dinner for 30eu, it is really too much

Cons: Nothing, it was all good

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful. A very comfortable stay at Gite Antton. Lovely clean and hot showers! Right on the Napoléon route on Camino which was perfect. Meal was good.

Cons: We opted for breakfast morning of first walking day and I wouldn’t bother with that as there is Orisson just 6 km up the road with better options. Would also not bother with sandwich for the road which was below average effort.

Pros: The owner was very friendly and helpful. The facilities are very clean and well maintained and the bathroom is modern. Very peaceful setting, and the chairs and tables outside are very useful.

Pros: The staff and location

The hosts were nice but didn’t speak a word of English which made communication interesting!! The place has a lot of potential but it needs serious refurbishment.

Cons: The room was in the roof of the property and was thus very hot (France had been going through a heatwave). The bathroom could do with modernising.

Pros: Sabine and the location

Cons: No sheets, no van

Pros: Location

Cons: The paper sheets. The breakfast at 7 and leave by 8 will work with pilgrims, but I am not sure is right for other types of travelers.

Pros: Great location, close to the Camino and restaurants

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We stayed there during our pilgrimage. The location was good, a very quiet place! The rooms (we had a double room) and bathrooms (shared) were plain but clean. The ambience is great, the house has a lot of little details, the garden looked fab (although we couldn´t use it, since the weather was bad). The hosts were very nice and welcoming. They serve a pilgrim dinner and breakfast (starting at 7 am). We can recommend the accommodation and would choose it again!

Cons: Don´t ask for any special menu (due to ethical reasons, allergies etc.), they´re not very flexible (not to say annoyed) with that. But there are plenty of options in the village for dining!

Pros: Location is at the very start of the Camino. This was my main reason for staying. Very friendly staff.

Cons: Very friendly welcome. Hostess was very helpful and informative. Options to have dinner and breakfast offered on arrival. She also organised transfer from Biarritz airport to hostel for me. It was a bit expensive but if a group were traveling it would be affordable.

Pros: best thing were the staff, excellent, the position was great, edge of the town near the start of the camino, close to the centre

Pros: Easy to stay

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great location for the start of the Camino. The hostel was clean and the rooms comfortable. We had never stayed in a hostel & were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation.

Accommodation are basic as it is a gite for hikers and pelerins doing the GR10 or the Camino de Compostella. Each room has 2 beds and they serve a continental breakfast as an option starting at 6:30 am, which is a perfect timing to hit the trails at sunrise.

Pros: Very friendly staff. The hostel is located right in the center of town.
