Hostal in Pamplona
Yes I know there are now a number of albergues, including Paderborn. I was remiss in not telling "beanpot" to try one of the albergues before looking for a hostal. However, he/she did ask about a hostal, and I therefore suggested the one on Mercaderes, to which a hospitalero was kind enough to direct me.
I saw the albergue on Dos de Mayo in 2005, and though I did not stay there (went on to Cizur) it looked very roomy and nice. :arrow:
