Hi Grayland - no it's not the large albergue. The youth hostel was first and to the left as you come down the hill at the back of the main albergue - a little hard to notice unless you are looking for it.I have stayed there a couple of times and thought it was great as it was. The first time I had no idea what I was doing and I just stumbled into it. The last time I was there it had 8 beds to a room and was very comfy - at least where I was. I did try the larger albergue once just for the experience - and it is that - an experience!grayland said:Just to clear up my usual confusion...the new albergue replaces the old main albergue with 120 beds in one room....right?
smileymadd said:We were thinking along the same lines as you Anne with regards to needing a good nights sleep after travelling Melbourne-Barcelona-Pamplona-Roncesvalles all in one go so to speak. This albergue which would obviously be our first experience sounds fabulous. Anne, we thought we would stay at La Posada also and emailed off a request for reservation three weeks ago, should we have heard anything back to confirm, not sure what the procedure is. We don't have the confidence to ring as our Spanish is next to non-existant, what do you think?
This is not correct. The refuge in the old Collegio is opened with 30 places only in winter time.Rebekah Scott said:Un-rest assured, the dirty, overcrowded dump is still operating as usual in Roncesvalles.

Hi
Just back from camino as far as Burgos. The new albergue in Roncesvalles is open,it is in the building which previously housed the Youth Hostel . Pilgrims will be amazed at the facilities, no expens
e has been spared. Banish all thoughts of penance this is LUXURY.
Let me list some of its facilities,
Spacious reception area hosted by Dutch volunteers. Thank you.
Stainless steel kitchen ,cooker hobs ,microwaves,Cold drinks machines, chilled convenience meals.Cutlery and delph are in short supply at the moment, but no doubt that will change.
There is a large dining area.
The dormitary area is divided into alcoves with four pilgrims in each. Each pilgrim has a locker with key and a power outlet.
All this is in a historic beautiful old building. The cost is now 10euro.
Thanks to all made this possible and especially to the volunteers for their welcome
Buen camino

Don't worry, I was there a couple of weeks ago. They have plenty of beds.What is the name of this albuques. ..I am on sjpp and would like to book for tomorrow.
@Katharina I had no idea we would need to book accommodation at Roncesvalles -we will arrive at SJPDP on Tues next 13th and plan to walk to Roncesvalles on Wed 14th. Would it be wise to book then? Buen Caminothe well known albergue in the Roncesvalles monastery complex and @mspath has given you the contact details. It may do no harm to book as tomorrow is the second weekend in September, a now traditionally busy time for Camino Frances pilgrims in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and Roncesvalles.
You don't have to pre-book, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to. I've stayed there more than once and never had to. The albergue holds over 200 pilgrims (plus overflow). If it was ever so full they had to turn you away, that would be an interesting, and busy start to a Camino.@Katharina I had no idea we would need to book accommodation at Roncesvalles -we will arrive at SJPDP on Tues next 13th and plan to walk to Roncesvalles on Wed 14th.

Check the dates on the posts above to be sure you are reading current information.
This is an old thread that was reopened.
I'm reassured and won't book - thanks @SYates, @Kathar1na, @markleeIf it was ever so full they had to turn you away, that would be an interesting, and busy start to a Camino.
Please tell me the name of the NEW albergue in Roncesvalles that seems to be much better. It will be our first night on the Camino and we are getting bicycles delivered .That's good news Tipperary! I wonder if it's suitable for someone who has an 8 hour jet lag, plus approx 20 hours non stop travel? Normally we sleep at La Posada the first night, specific for this reason! We don't mind getting up early - in fact it's the best way to adapt to the European time. What do you think? Anne
To my knowledge, there isn't a NEW albergue in Roncesvalles. There are a couple of hotels there in addition to the large albergue.Please tell me the name of the NEW albergue in Roncesvalles that seems to be much better. It will be our first night on the Camino and we are getting bicycles delivered .
Will repeat my post that was deleted: there is no new additional albergue, there is only one albergue in R.Please tell me the name of the NEW albergue in Roncesvalles that seems to be much better. It will be our first night on the Camino and we are getting bicycles delivered .
