A lovely stay with a beautiful room and delicious breakfast. I’d stay here again!
Pros:

Staff were wonderful and my room was comfortable. I had a cute private balcony and the private bath was sufficient for my needs. The breakfast was delicious!

Cons:

It was a little tricky to enter since there isn’t a reception but after getting someone to open the door remotely but that was only a small hiccup.

The room was cozy, meaning it was excellent for a solo traveler.
Pros:

Quiet, close to the Cathedral and on the right side of town to head out west on the Camino. Breakfast was excellent and whatever you requested, really. A fellow pilgrim (vegetarian) asked for her omelette to be remade without chorizo. No problem.

Cons:

Nothing really, but you won’t stay here to possibly socialize with other pilgrims except for the time at breakfast, which for most will be short and only what’s necessary to get going thereafter.

Une bonne adresse
Pros:

Gentillesse du personnel et notamment de la personne qui sert le petit déjeuner
Proximité de la cathédrale
Calme dans l’établissement

Cons:

Rien
Je n’aime pas trop l’expression « le petit dej est offert « car en fait il est compris dans le prix assez élevé de la chambre
