Can anyone share some insights on the best options in Estella?
I had a good winter experience at the Municipal, great kitchen setup, friendly Hospitalero so would recommend. Last spring when the Muni was full we stayed in a new private Albergue in a private room with bathroom for 30 Euros. Very nice but did not have a kitchen you could use but could buy meals at. This one, whose name I cannot remember (sorry) was almost at the end of town on the way out on the left side of the road.

Yes! Thank you!The new place that you cite and enjoyed is the Albergue Capuchinos which is scenically located at 6 calle des Capuchinos.

The first place in a town usually dominates patronage, so the municipal "wins" in Estella. While it is not the best in creature comforts, the Municipal is a hive of pilgrim activity. Very social. I have stayed in three others in Estella, but would recommend the Municipal for its "authentic camino" experience! It does not spoil you with things like space, hot water, and quiet bunks...Never understood why so few pilgrims stayed there.
