Albergue Casa Paderborn

Closed when I can by on Sept 16 2021, confirmed by a lady at the bar next door.

Wonderfull pilgrim’s albergue in a villa at the riverbank. Coming into Pamplona over the bridge, 200 meters to the left.

The German hospitaleros were very kind and helpful and the beds are good for a very fair price (Euro 7).

It was nice that it was just outside the city so it was very quiet but still close to the city - you just take the elevator.
It was in general nice and clean and the staff was friendly. Would recommend.

The hosts were very welcoming. Didn’t mind the strict 10 pm curfew or the 6 am wake up. We were only three in our room. Price was €10 for the bed and breakfast.

Loved this albergue! Very clean, and I’m fine with the rules. Quiet. Comfortable. About 9 people in our room. They have a spinner for those who hand wash as well, which was very helpful.

Some people seem to love this place, but my experience is quite bad. Unfriendly people, doing the "very German[1]" thing with staged check ins, incessant repeating of house rules, asking all kinds of personal questions that determine where you get to sleep, obvious favor playing, and an overall not very welcoming or well appointed albergue. This felt more like boot camp in the German army or half way house jail than an albergue. [1 : and I say this as a German]!
