My wife and I are starting the el camino from Pamplona and are arriving there by bus from Bilbao late in the evening. We were hoping to stay at the Jesus y Maria but after reading some blogs it seems they have a bed bug problem
Has anyone been there recently and if so is there still a problem?

Thanks Ron and Kelly

Hi, I stayed in this hostel for 4 nights in November 2013. (My blisters were so bad I needed to go to the hospital to get treatment for them) I had no problems at all with this hostel.

I would throughly recommend this hostel.

Other than it's being huge and in Pamplona(!) I had no problem in Sept. '13. I'd walk to Cizur Menor as an option.

Thanks, sorry to hear about your blisters. We're hoping and preparing to avoid this but one never knows.

Good to know. Cizur Menor was an initial thought but we hope to spend a day in Pamplona before starting our Camino.
