Stylish place with great history and best location in town. Excellent breakfast. Hemingway’s favourite spot. Next to famous Iruna cafe

Valet parking rather than at the hotel, but was quick and efficient

Pros:

Esta situado en el corazón de la ciudad. La habitación es amplia y las cama cómoda. La zona de ducha es una habitación en si misma con dos duchas y una bañera. Una estancia cómoda con detalles que elevan el nivel del hotel

Lo mejor su personal. Me encanta encontrar a gente con simpatía natural no impostada.

Cons:

A mejorar: El televisor debería poder verse desde la pequeña zona de estar de la habitación, con un soporte de pared que permitiese el giro sería suficiente.

No es importante, pero alguna percha más y disponer de crema corporal también estaría bien.

El desayuno es correcto, pero muy aburrido. El personal es encantador, lo que no suple un desayuno repetitivo. Si bien es continental, bastaría con cambiar algún componente o poner un par de tartas para variar. Bueno supongo que prefiero un desayuno buffe.

Great hotel in a fantastic location, with plenty of lovely tapas bars within easy walking distance. The room was a really good size, comfortable and spacious, and the shower was absolutely amazing – one of the best we've experienced! A great place to stay and ideal for exploring the local area. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful hotel in the heart of old Pamplona
Pros:

The staff was fabulous! We got confused about the directions and parked in the parking facility. They straightened everything out for us. (Yes, you are supposed to drive on the plaza to get to the front door. The staff will handle your car from there.) They recommended and booked a nice restaurant for us for dinner and altogether made us feel special. The room was lovely, clean, and comfortable.

Fantastisch hotel midden in Pamplona
Pros:

Fantastisch hotel op doorreis naar de Costa Blanca. Hotel ligt in het hartje van Pamplona aan groot plein met talloze barretjes en restaurants op loopafstand. Auto wordt op een veilige plek weg gezet (kosten 30€). Kamer was mooi, rustig, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Personeel is zeer attent.
