Albergue de Pamplona-Iruñako Aterpea

Beds very comfy and pods give you privacy. Lockers very good. Very friendly host

Extremely hot and stuffy, didn’t get a lot of sleep as it’s essentially 32 people in one room. Two toilets and two showers only

Location and cleanliness

The staff did not speak English very well. 7.50E to use the washer and dryer, then dryer did not work I had to take our clothes to the airport wet For a four hour flight The clothes mildewed and had to be re-washed once we got to our new location . The lady at the desk told us we could leave our luggage there, go catch the taxi downtown and have them come back and get our luggage. wound up costing us an extra nine dollars for the taxi to go back and pick up our luggage, and she told us it wouldn’t . The other guest were very noisy coming in at all hours of the night . No sleep!

The reception area was nice with good tables and chairs. Great location near the cathedral.

We had some stressful interchanges with the lady at reception after having got locked into the bathroom by accident. The beds were like cupboards with curtains, quite convenient, but the thin albergue sheets don’t feel so hygenic as you can see the stain mattress and pillow right through them. Seems very wasteful to be throwing away thousands of these every day.... not just this albergue - they are common along the Camino
