Perfect location, central to restaurants, the pilgrims’ office, and the start of the Camino!
Automatic lights in the hallway turn on every time someone goes into the hallway at night, causing everyone to wake up. It’s unavoidable if someone is going to the bathroom, or getting ready for bed earlier/later.

We had a one bunk bed section to ourselves. The kitchen is great. The owner gave us some words of wisdom when we arrived. The location is great.
WiFi is really only good in the shared dining space. Some places does not work at all.

Our host was charming and encouraging as we prepared to walk the Camino De Santiago.
Nothing. Just know that it’s two bunk beds in each room and there isn’t a lot of room to spread out.

This hostel is an excellent place to start the camino but also the host is an incredible man, very wise. He gives great advice to all who start a camino. Thank you greatly

Chemin vers L’Etoile is the quintessential alberge: run by prople who care, with exactly the facilities that pilgrims need. In fact there are more bathroom facilities (showers, wash basins, potties, hand laundry! than I had any expectation of finding. Eric is a hoot and clearly loves his pilgrims and the life he is able to live. Wonderful sharp wit, too! Eric’s spiel (well-rehearsed) about the auberge and “You better eat breakfast and have something in your stomach before you tackle the way are particularly welcome and enjoyed!
Need more bananas at breakfast! The potassium and other nutrients and calming effect of bananas means every pilgrim should have at least one before heading out.

Great location
Motion control detection for the lights in the sleeping areas. I would have preferred that the pilgrims staying there just used their headlamps. The constant lights turning off and on was a distraction. Bring a sleep mask and you should be alright.

Location is great, near to shops, restaurants and short walk to the Pilgrim Office. WiFi was very good and charging ports next to beds was a plus. All very clean and a nice outdoors area.
Noise travelled very easily but that is to be expected when staying in a hostel.

This is a really good place to stay if you are starting in St Jean pied de Port, as it is right on the route and always has a great buzz about it.
At €25 for a bunk it's a bit expensive, but although it is considerably more expensive than the albergues you'll stay at in Spain, it will be a great start to your camino.
