Pilgrim Insight

While it’s a hotel rather than a hostel or albergue, pilgrims and walkers find it charming and convenient:

“Pretty small hotel… my room was small but I didn’t have to carry up my backpack. The hotel employees seemed quite welcoming …”
— TripAdvisor user

“Cant beat this hotel if your criteria include LOCATION … cleanliness, COMFORT (memory foam bed), staff, value and BREAKFAST…”
— Booking.com review

📌 Note: Lack of elevator and narrow spiral staircase may be a challenge if you’re carrying a loaded Camino backpack. Great for a comfortable stopover in Hondarribia’s old town—but check luggage handling options.
