    As a young family, we appreciated the convenient location near facilities. The helpful owner provided valuable information for our first Camino experience. Clean and well-maintained, with surprisingly quiet and functional showers. Grateful for the late check-in and the effort to accommodate latecomers. Early breakfast option was a convenient start to our day.

    Felt snug, nothing to complain about.

    The value for money at this hotel was excellent. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-organized. The location was perfect, right in the heart of town and close to restaurants, bakeries, and the Camino Pilgrims office. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful, especially Eric who went above and beyond to accommodate us.

    The breakfast option could be improved by ensuring there is enough jam available for all guests, even those who come early in the morning.

    I had a fantastic stay at a quiet and well-located hostel before starting my Camino Frances. The owner was incredibly helpful, providing valuable information for first-time pilgrims like me. Despite the limited wifi availability, the peaceful atmosphere and proximity to amenities made it the perfect one-night stop before embarking on the journey. I highly recommend Gite Le Chemin Vers L'Etoile for a great start to the Camino pilgrimage. I highly recommend this hostel for its convenient location and helpful owner.

    The freshly baked croissants for breakfast were a delightful treat and a perfect way to start the day. the staff at the hotel were very kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. the location of the hotel was also fantastic, situated in a key area that allowed easy access to various attractions and amenities.

    The accommodation itself was very basic and cramped, with limited privacy. the lack of lockers was also a concern for the safety of our belongings.

    For the price I paid, I got excellent value with a clean and comfortable room. The location was perfect, right on the Camino and close to all the necessary facilities. The owner was incredibly helpful, especially for first-time Camino walkers.

    Breakfast choices could be improved by offering access to the coffee machine without having to pay for breakfast.

    Central location right on the Camino, perfect for pilgrims. The host was welcoming and knowledgeable, providing valuable information for our journey. The bunkbed-alcoves in the annex were clean and comfortable, with a new and well-maintained bathroom.

    Limited terrace seating and poor air circulation upstairs made the common areas a bit stuffy, especially when all the bunk beds were occupied. The breakfast coffee machine required 1€ coins and didn't have the best taste.

    The owner at Gite Le Chemin Vers L'Etoile was incredibly helpful and spoke great English. The bunkbed-alcoves in the annex were clean and the bathroom was new. Breakfast consisted of delicious baguette bread with butter and jam. The location, right in the city center by the bridge, was a definite plus. I had a pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel.

    Great welcome to the Camino. the staff is welcoming and all is pretty easy to figure out. They provide a disposable sheet, which saved me from having to bring a sleeping bag. the location is right in the middle of the main narrow cobblestone lane, with easy access to restaurants, pilgrims hiking supply stores, and the Camino Pilgrims office.

    Very basic dorm room accommodation. There were no lockers, which made the place feel impersonal and insecure.

    During my recent stay at Gite Le Chemin Vers L'Etoile, I was impressed by the warm hospitality and helpful advice provided by the receptionist. The village itself is incredibly beautiful, making for a truly enjoyable experience. The availability of blankets was a pleasant surprise, as it's not something commonly found in other albergues. I highly recommend this place.

    We had a great stay at this hostel on the Camino. The staff was welcoming and the location in the heart of town was perfect. The communal areas were spacious and the nearby restaurants and hiking supply stores were convenient. The Camino Pilgrims office being just down the lane was a bonus. We also appreciated the disposable sheet provided for those who didn't bring a sleeping bag. I highly recommend this hostel for a comfortable and safe start to your journey.

    The rooms were small and lacked windows, but they were still comfortable and clean. Additionally, there was a charge for using the coffee machine unless you paid for breakfast.
