This hotel has been recently taken over and a new restaurant has been opened. There were 5 of us in our group and we decided to try the restaurant. The dinner was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. I could not fault it. We also opted for the continental breakfast. this was more than adequate and very reasonable for a cost of €6. Jeremy was very attentive to our needs and early start as we were starting our Camino. I can recomment this hotel as a place to stay before begining the camino Frances.

It was a very pretty village/ Town in the mountains. Suitable for walkers with lovely cafe's and restaurants and useful supply base before starting the camino. Local people were very friendly and quirky as well. It is full of character and history.

SJPDP is the traditional starting point for el Camino de Santiago's French route. You can feel all the positive energy and excitement from the Peregrinos at portas of their journey.
Although the first stage from SJPDP, crossing the Pyrenees to Spain, is challenging the journey and the satisfaction of completing it is multiple times more rewarding and will remain as a memorable experience!

There is surely more to do and see in Saint Jean-Pied-de-Port than we had time for. The Hotel Ramuntcho was perfect in every way. We were in town only for one night before beginning the Camino, and we would have been delighted to stay longer had time allowed.

We went to St Jean because it is the starting point of the French Camino. It is a charming place, lots of good places to stay and eat - though the prices in a cafe we stopped at are a lot higher than in nearby Spain! 5 Euros for a glass of wine compared with 1.5 Euros in Spain!

Well, we ate one of the restaurants where we could sit outside. Unfortunately I’ve forgotten the name of the restaurant. The food was good. The restaurant was quite busy. I gave the cashier €50 and was short changed €20. 🤨

Beautiful town at the start of the Camino frances.
Beautiful town at the start of the Camino frances. Not good for dairy and gluten allergy though and not every restaurant and bar proprietor is friendly. Hardly anything provided in any language other than french. Looking forward to crossing into Spain.

What a wonderful stay. right on the main street in St. Jean Pied de Port, a short block from the Pilgrim Office for the Camino Frances. Lovely, upbeat and attentive host; very comfy room, more than ample breakfast, part of which host bagged up for me to take; she also noted good restaurants and a bakery for provisions for my walk. An ideal start to the Camino! Catherine (sp?) so kindly offered to take my picture as I started out on my walk, a picture I now treasure.
Room was warm and cosy. The owners are absolutely outstanding people and maintain an extremely beautiful location. It is right next to the pilgrim's office which will help out anybody going on the camino. They have a small little diner next to the hotel and is within walking distance of many other locations to eat.
great little hotel, right in the old town and really nice decor. loved the provided breakfast in the communal kitchen and the view of the Pyrenees from the terrace
Marc gave us fantastic recommendations of places to go before and after our stay
Perfect suite to start the Camino from or just enjoy Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Ideal location. Nice little garden sitting area. Well supplied kitchen. Great breakfast to start your walk.
This was a perfect place to stay as we prepared to begin the Camino Frances. Our room had a small kitchen which helped with meals and the location was perfect.
Hotel receptionist was very welcoming and friendly.
Lovely position and great sitting on the balcony overlooking the mountains.
Good breakfast, very relaxed
It is a small hotel with friendly staff and very good food. Its quite dated but comfortable although queen or king beds would be much better than doubles.
