Orisson reservations

[Hollitapena]

Hi, I've heard that its advised to make reservations at Orison if you'd like to stay there for the first night. I've tried several times over this last week to get them on their website. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone who figured out what to do or have an email address for them? Any info would be appreciated!

Make your reservation online then a day or so before you go call Jean-Jacques to confirm. He is a busy man with a busy staff-save yourself another 16 unwanted kilometers by a simple international call.

It takes patience; as much as two weeks to get a response! You could repeat your request, but usually they will get to you when they get to you.

Thanks.....however, I can't even get on to their website. It appears to be down. Does anyone have an email address so I can go around the problem?

We booked at Orisson via the website contact form, we heard within 24 hours but this was back in January. I guess he is busier now. We have not been asked to confirm our booking at all. We have to be there by 6pm I think. We have paid our deposit by PayPal so maybe that is enough without confirming. I hope so as we were not planning to confirm. We are due there very soon, April 10th.

Lucy Longpath - I did the same, kind of assumed that the Paypal bill ref had been raised against my name/booking enquiry, so by paying it Orrisson know I am coming. I only plan to call them if I am delayed and need to arrive after 1830 ( so they don't give my bed away). If anyone knows for sure that a reconfirmation step needs to be done then please advise.

I wrote them via their website last week and as of this morning hadn't received a response. I'll be traveling soon and wanted to have space at the inn reserved. I just sent 35 EUR via Paypal anyway with the hope that payment will secure me a reservation if not a response. Hope I'm not being too presumptuous.

My train brings me to Pamplona on Thursday evening around 7:00pm, I'll catch the bus to SJPP in the afternoon Friday arriving too late to start walking. I can spend the night kicking around SJPP and be at Orisson fairly early on Saturday. Lo qué será, será...

I've noticed they have a new website... or updated their old site http://www.refuge-orisson.com/en/

I changed my booking a few days ago and had a reply within 2 days. If it's been a few weeks maybe just drop them another email and explain? Or could you call and confirm? I seem to remember someone saying they spoke english?

Good luck

 

[Hollitapena]

Thanks LesBrass,
I tried the address you just listed but it will not get me to their website. Do I need to add something if I'm emailing from the States? I also tried emailing to a past usable email address- refuge.orison@wanadoo.fr but it returned.
Any ideas?

Go to their website www.refuge.orisson.com/en/ and scroll down until you come to their booking or queries section which also gives their telephone. When I stayed there I had paid in advance but when I arrived they had lost my booking and I ended up sleeping in the laundry (but better than walking on to Roncevalles the same day). SO PHONE AHEAD TO CONFIRM YOUR BOOKING. It's a wonderful place to stay with amazing views and very good communal dinner where everyone introduces themselves, and you make friends very easily. A wonderful introduction to the Camino.
Hollitapena: you have spelt 'orison' incorrectly so that is probably why you couldn't make contact

I never received a response to my reservation inquiry and never received an acknowledgement for the Paypal payment that I went ahead and sent. When I arrived there Saturday my name was on the list as having paid and it was great! Napoleon route was a transcendent experience with clear blue skies and quite a bit of snow to tramp through. In Zurain tonight, Pamplona tomorrow. Thanks to all the forum folks who have offered so much experience and knowledge to help me make this happen.

Thank you everyone for your replies!
I was able(with the help of correct spelling!) to reach their website and request a reservation. Now I'll wait and hope for a response.

Do you have the web address where I can book and send my PayPal payment to Orisson?

That's good to know Sakami. After paying invoice via Paypal I also sent an email informing Orisson that I will arrive late in the day ( just in case they are tempted to give my bed away). No reply to that email yet, but seems par for the course. I am sure all will be ok.

Daughter & I have reservations for the 23rd. She has a sore foot and isn't able to hike, but hoped to take a taxi or bus to Orisson while I walked there. The photos show a 2-lane road with cars parked near the refuge. Has anyone gotten a ride there? (Been waiting a year for this trip, this foot pain is our Murphy's Law)

Taxi, yes; bus, no. It's a narrow road not exactly two lanes but an easier drive than walking there. Of course the taxi is probably going to want to charge you for the round trip, there aren't any people looking to come back down to SJPdP.

Thanks, taxi it will be. Until she heals up we will have to wing it.

I emailed them last Sunday and again Thursday evening....still no reply. I have heard you need to be patient....just hope I don't lose out!
