I’m sure you’ll get plenty of recommendations along this section of the CF. Do check-out Gronze.com for a good idea as to the variety of accommodations you can find with descriptions of them. Here are a few places with private rooms where I have stayed:Hello all! Any suggestions for accommodations in Pamplona, Puenta la Reina, Estella, Los Arcos and/or Logrona? My friend and I are walking our first (short, introductory) Camino this September 20-27, 2024. We hope to stick to this itenerary since we only have week. We prefer private accommodations. Also, that last trek from Los Arcos to Logrono is pretty long(17 miles) I’m worried about making that distance. Are there taxis available in this last section if needed? Thank you!

You could alter your stages so that you don't end up with a longer day than you are capable of.Also, that last trek from Los Arcos to Logrono is pretty long(17 miles) I’m worried about making that distance. Are there taxis available in this last section if needed? Thank you!
I had to take a taxi from Viana to Logroño because I was wiped out. But my pack and bed were in Logroño. So it was either keep walking and die, or take a taxi. The taxi won. I tended to avoid intermediate stops because there is little to see or do in many of the tinier towns. Terradillos de los Templarios comes to mind. Ugh. The only thing there other than the two albergues is the dairy farm and cow barns. I wandered over and, since I speak Spanish, I was able to interact with the owner and he was explaining the milking machines to me. But, other than that…..ZEEERO.Hello all!

This is good to know. Since we have such little time we will stick to the main roads here. Thank you!I had to take a taxi from Viana to Logroño because I was wiped out.

Thanks for the suggestions! This is very helpful! Did you book your accommodations before your trip or find them as you arrived at each location?Janet, my wife and I have hiked Camino Frances four times (2015, 2017, 2019, 2021) from St Jean to Santiago. We generally start in mid Sept and arrive in Santiago 35 days later. The last two caminos, we stayed exclusively in private albergues. We love the comfort, privacy and silence. Getting a great night's sleep and in most cases a good breakfast, really gets the day off to a good start. Here are places we've stayed, in most cases more than once:
Pamplona - Secrotel Europa
Puente La Reina - Hotel Jakue (hotel, not albergue), and Hotel El Cerco
Estella - Agora Hostel
San Sol - El Olivo de Sansol
Logrono - Hotel Sercotel Portales
Buen Camino!

Yes that’s true. But Logroño looked like the most interesting destination. However, someone said the wine festival is in Logroño the week we are there and it may be very busy. Are there other locations you would recommend for our last night on this route? Thank youYou could alter your stages so that you don't end up with a longer day than you are capable of.
I absolutely love Logroño and encourage you to stay there.Yes that’s true. But Logroño looked like the most interesting destination.

Oh this is good to know! Thank you. We were just going by the stages recommended onI absolutely love Logroño and encourage you to stay there.
I was thinking more in terms of adjusting your previous stages to be more balanced.
Here's a suggestion:

In Sansol I can recommend the casa rural El Olivo de Sansol. I stayed there for the third time this year.

There are towns to break up the stage. You should not be afraid of the longer distance without a town to stop in. Buy some good snacks and fruit the night before. When you tire look for a place to sit. You can always sit on your backpack. Stretch your legs, take off you trail runners and relax and eat and drink some of the extra water you brought that day. You really will feel refreshed after just 10-15 minutes to help push you thru to the next town. After you catch the camino spirit and want to come back again and again you may want to start walking less traveled caminos that can have stages of 30K without a town or bar. There are no food trucks on these caminos eitherAlso, that last trek from Los Arcos to Logrono is pretty long(17 miles) I’m worried about making that distance.

If you stay a night in Logroño, you might want to take advantage of their "Mural Tour Night" where they show you the different famous and amazing murals, history/background, etc. and the artist/s. It is a very nice way to enjoy another cultural aspect of Spain and to burn some calories after Calle Laurel. During the day, the have sidewalk bookstalls where posters, comic books, new/old/popular/rare Spanish/English/etc are sold. Enjoy Logrono. Buen Camino.Yes that’s true.

This April I stayed at Viana to break the stage. I went to evening mass and myself and another pelerine were blessed . They said a prayer for my late wife. A moment I shall remember all my life.If I am right you will have a fairly short walk to Logrono. I hope I am right. Please check prices as the hotel I stayed at ,nice but pricey.If you stay a night in Logrono, you might want to take advantage of their "Mural Tour Night" where they show you the different famous and amazing murals, history/background, etc. and the artist/s.

Thanks for that info!Pamplona: Hostal Rodas (~80€)
Puente de la Reina: Hostal El Real (~40€)
Estella: Hostal Alda (~40€)
Los Arcos: Hostal Monaco (~60€)
Logroño: Hostal Rioja Condestable (~65€)
All suggestions from mouth to mouth in 2019. Had to dig in my diary.
The part from Los Arcos to Logroño is almost flat, personally the part from Viana to the outskirts of Logroño I found boring and exhausting. After entering the city and walking by the river the vibe changes dramatically.
Have fun!
