Help needed

[Adelia]

Hey all, i need advice. We will be arriving to St. Jean at 23:00 on 23 July, so probably most of the alberges will be closed. Any recommendations for where 2 people could stay? preferably private room due to the late time because we dont want to disturb anybody. If so, is it possible to make reservations?
Thanks in advance.

We have used Booking.com to find a few places...

Tim Proctor, an Irishman, runs Erracaldia, a B & B right in town. If he can't accommodate you, he can fix you up with someone who can. He appears here on the forum now and then. Do a search and I bet you will turn him up -- or find him on the Booking.com site.
He's a fine fellow, and a pilgrim, too.

I stayed here in April. Very central, short walk from the station, reasonable price and friendly owner/staff.

Roots and Boots--- http://www.rootsandboots.es/en/. We stayed here for 2 nights last year in a 4 person (2 bunks) room. We were very surprised to be awakened at 5am by a person who had been given the entry code to allow 24 hr access! The code is changed every 24 hours. Good hostel though, with great views of the Cathedral and relaxing garden. Very accommodating.

But this hostel is in santiago the compostela? At least thats the information given to us

Check with airbnb.com. I've not used them, just a thought.

I don't have any suggestions but keep looking. We didn't book a room in St Jean and arrived later than we thought. Because we were only going to Orrison the next day we wanted to tour around St Jean without our packs in the morning and needed a hotel. We ended up in what must have been the oldest hotel in town with wall paper from the 60's and it was about 80 euros.

One year we arrived to find everything booked out. We finished up in someone's attic reached by a timber ladder with rather unsavoury mattresses on the floor. I was awake half the night worrying about it being a fire trap.

There are lots of chambre d'hôtes close to SJPDP, some lovely. Try looking for those instead of hotels or gites. I use the Gites de France app. There is a website too. Or better still, contact the Tourist information centre here:

In addition to the handly site posted above by Kanga ere are three separate listings from the SJPdP Office de Tourisme for pilgrim albergues, hotels and chambres d'hotes within SJPdP itself.

We stayed here last August:
http://www.saintjeanpieddeport-pays.../gites-de-groupes-et-perlerins/gite-zuharpeta
It is near the Spanish Gate, a block off the Camino route. We booked the 1/2-pension, which gave us a private room with shared bath, and included dinner the night before and breakfast the day we started walking, but they also have albergue-style dormitory accommodations. The website is in French, but is easy to understand even if you don't speak that language (I don't).
Buen Camino,
Jim

I am travelling to SJPP on the 23rd July also. I have decided to start my walk and stay in Honto. I know you are arriving very late so maybe this is no use but the women seems pleasant and it may be easier to get somewhere a little further out.
