“A gorgeous hotel in the old town, situated close to everything. It was also very quiet for sleeping!”
It was a beautiful hotel in a great location. We couldn't fault it at all. Reception and valet service were superb.

“A good hotel in a fantastic position.”
Fantastic location right on the main square. Unbelievably great staff especially the lady who walked to find us when trying to find the hotel and then drove our car across the pedestrian square to get to it.

Our customer was 8 minutes walk. Being located in the Plaza we had the old town and the citadel all within easy walking distance. This is my third visit to Pamplona for business and I have enjoyed every one.

“Perfect hotel for Pamplona”
What a perfect hotel in the main square in Pamplona especially if you are a Hemingway fan! The staff were so so lovely. The rooms are big and comfortable and in the evening they come and make the bed for the night!

“historic building with excellent location”
The room was fantastic with windows overlooking the plaza and another cross street. There was a corridor separating the room door from the sleeping area, so we never heard anyone in the hallway. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the bathroom was convenient and split into a separate toilet and shower area with a sink and mirror in between.

“Faultless service and location.”
The location was fantastic. An easy walk to everything. The car was valet parked. We cannot wait to return as the staff were so helpful and went beyond our expectations. This was the most relaxing of our long trip.
