My favorite pensiones was the one in Sarria at the top of those steps. Pension Escalinata. Rooms were basic and clean with shared bathroom and you could go downstairs and get a cold beer and meal at the bar.
Nice Camino story. Yes, the owner seemed like a really cool guy. He was also tending the bar and working the grill.I stayed there during my Camino last year, and they were life saving angels for me. My husband had a heat stroke on that day, so I ran to a hotel in Sarria (which was fully booked) and they helped me call all places in Sarria to find a private room so he could rest and have lots of water. The owner of Escalinata not only allowed us to check in immediately but also gave us heaps of cold mineral water and sandwiches so he could recover. And breakfast next day was included in the room fee!
Lovely people, simple and clean place. Would certainly reccommend.
Thanks for your recommendation Mark - well put...albergues are cool, but its nice to take a break...Don't blame y'all. Albergues are cool to stay in, but it's nice to take a break from communal living while walking the Camino. On all three CF's I think I used private accommodations about 20% of the time.

Thanks for the resource!Hi SCN !!!! last September we walked Leon-Santiago, slept in albergues in private and communal rooms. There is a EDITORIAL BUEN CAMINO GUIDE, that has the albergues rated and tells you if they have private accommodations. It worked great for us, hope it helps you !!!!Buen Camino
Thanks for this fabulous list!!! How does one secure reservations with some of your places? Walking in June. Will share what we learn too. sandyojoWe're heading back to the Camino Frances this spring (2016) and planning on spending some nights in private rooms at hostels, casa rurals, pensions and hotels. If you have any positive recommendations for private rooms, please let me known, along with your comments. We are especially interested in private rooms in alberques.
Also, below is a link to the spreadsheet I started of recommended lodging with private rooms, based on our previous experiences and recommendations of other pilgrims. It has over 100 places, so I thought I would share it for anyone who is interested.
Thank you!

Oh do I remember those stepsDon't blame y'all. Albergues are cool to stay in, but it's nice to take a break from communal living while walking the Camino. On all three CF's I think I used private accommodations about 20% of the time.

You can actually go around them, to the right, but it's a longer way. Just like in Portomarin, the nicest thing about those steps is that if you are staying there for the night, you're basically finished walking for the day when you reach the steps.Oh do I remember those steps
