Alda Estella Hostel

I stayed in a dorm for one night while walking the Camino. The front desk staff were rude and extremely unwelcoming. I booked a room with 4 female beds, but was put into a room with 8 beds in a mixed gender room. Sheets, blankets, and towels are not provided and you must put a disposable paper sheet over your mattress. The bathroom was in the room, which was convenient. We were assigned beds, which was a bummer because we were all crushed into one side of the room, with two beds open on the other side. There is a small kitchen and a single, small washer and dryer. I would have had a better stay if the staff were at all friendly.

An old convent right in the centre of town made a great stop for our last Camino night. Our three bedded room was separated into a two and a single. Comfortable and stylish with a good breakfast. There is also a dormitory option to cut costs. On the Friday night the square outside was full of kids playing, with parents and grandparents in the cafes: a nice sight.

Clean comfy and great location right on a lovely square with a fountain. The dorm rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the staff were really friendly and helpful, we had to organise bag transfers and they couldn't have done more when a pilgrim was injured. Loved the stay.

The price is great for the private room I had with 2 twin beds. Bed, linens, towels, and shower well cleaned. Has lounge and microwave on 2nd floor. Kitchen currently closed. Front staff so helpful! Location? Great. 2 plazas with all kinds of shopping, markets, and restaurants. Hotel plaza is quiet with only a few kids in evening.

El hotel (en realidad es hostal) parece nuevo y las instalaciones son sencillas pero para un hostal más que suficientes. Las habitaciones son sencillas pero el mobiliario nuevo y suficiente si es para pasar pocas noches. Cerca del hotel hay parquin gratuito a pocos metros, ya que el hotel se encuentra en zona peatonal muy bonita, justo en una plaza. El desayuno es correcto para ser un hostal, evidentemente no es como un hotel pero había un poco de todo, justo pero suficiente. Lo peor del hotel, para nosotros fué el personal, no es que fuera desagradable pero muy frío, las recepcionistas daban poquísima información a la llegada, y cuando pasabas por delante ni saludaban. En cambio la chica de la sala de desayunos, muy amable.

Tuve un peaueña problema (de transferencia de equipaje y pedí ayuda a la Recepción del hostal. No me dieron tiempo ni de explicarme antes de decir “imposible y que te vayas”.) Fueron entre las personas más antipáticas que he encontrado en mi vida. (Afortunadamente, el resto de la gente de Estella son cortés y bien educados. Encontré la ayuda que necesitaba en otro hotel.)

no intentéis aparcar delante del hotel dejar el coche donde judgado y bajando una cuesta accederéis directamente. Es un edificio de 3 plantas con ascensor,y recepción hasta las 8.luego accedes con código o tarjeta de la habitación.en la primera hay hostel,y en la segunda son con baño.habitaciones sencillas sin lujo.el desayuno es bufet y hay un poco de todo,quizá falta algo de bollería.cuesta 6,5 si ni lo llevas incluido.
