Well, now that Auberge du Pèlerin is closed, I'm looking for my next favorite. I'm curious to know what the responses to your question look like. I'd like to stay some place iconic and close to the old town center (within the walls) this spring.

I know many have said that SJPdP isn't much, but I think it's just charming. I know you can see bigger plus beaux village de France on the Le Puy, but I just love the views, people, and the energy. I'm thinking I may need a place that will let me stay for two nights this year.
 
Oh no! That was my very first Camino albergue and to this day it remains one of my favorites. I am so sorry to learned it is no more. Is the closing permanent?
 
Private rooms, daily bag transfers, 24/7 support, & more. Save now during our sale!
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I stayed at Albergue Porte Saint-Jacques and liked it very much. There's a bunk room on one floor and a room with single beds and great views on the floor above. There was a communal meal available and breakfast too. It's up at the top of the old main street, next door to the municipal. Very pilgrim friendly.

Thanks! I went solo on my last trip but my next one I am going with my college age daughter!

If you are on a budget or just want to stay in the municipal it is very good:
If you have the money to spend and want a great experience with dinner and breakfast, Beilari. It has really gone up in price since I was there haha (2015)
 
Albergue Le Chemin vers L Etoile, just down the street from the Pilgrims Office. +33 559 372 071 21 euros and very nice. We stayed there at the end of October. My son in law stayed there in 2011. The hospitalero has walked the Camino. Bon Chemin

We liked this place when we stayed there in 2017.

Bed & Breakfast Maison Bidegain Berria


Maison Bidegain Berria - 64220 ISPOURE

It's in Ispoure which abuts SJPP but is an easy walk from the SJPP train station and a quick walk into the heart of SJPP . It is on Booking.com. It has only one room and is run by a lovely couple. It included breakfast, and for an extra very fair price, they provided dinner ( but that is not compulsory)
 
places to stay in SJPDP?
I was quite comfortable at the municipal. Kitchen, decent beds, backyard. If you are arriving by bus or train in the morning to SJPP, go there right away and get in line before you go to the pilgrim office. No reservations are possible and it often sells out.
 
Stayed in Beilari in 2018, and in Albergue Porte Saint-Jacques last year.

Beilari was great, but Porte Saint Jacques was ever so much better, from the beds, to the facilities, and the common room. They also did a communal dinner and breakfast and had a sort of Pilgrim blessing before everyone started out.

I just looked at their website and it appears to be open.

Auberge de Pelerin's website is open and taking bookings through October. 'Closed' for end of season, or permanently? I sure hope it's not closing permanently......the owners have been sending me very welcoming emails for my booking in May 😬

Wow -- that is great news! Looking at their website, it looks like they've refurbished the dining room. I may check them out in May as well.

A highlight for me was their evening meal. They served a Basque soup to start and quail with an apricot sauce as a main course. And the macaron store is right next door!
