No es facil estacionarse y no hay información para el viajero que llega en auto. Nos tuvimos que estacionar en la plaza de toros y llevar las maletas hasta el hotel. Eso no es vip acess. Por lo demás el personal es amable

This is a lovely 5* property. Well located on a central square. Staff helpful and friendly. Valet parking. Good recommendations for nearby restaurants. Room large and comfortable - we had view over the square and got to watch the Epiphany parade in the square from our balcony. Internet connection worked well. Dining room closed for dinner at the time we were there. Only issue is that for breakfast, you order what you want, which is tough since the (friendly and helpful) waitress spoke only Spanish. (I would have preferred a buffet.) Overall, a very pleasant experience and would definitely stay there again.

A traditional hotel in the heart of Pamplona, situated in the main square where the running of the bulls takes place. The rooms are very big, lots of space and very large bathroom. You can fit two people in the bath also has a large shower and two sinks. We had a balcony that overlooked the street where the bulls would run, additional furniture was a coffee table and two chairs to relax in front of the balcony. For its size the room could benefit from an extra wardrobe. The service was excellent, if you need to park you drive your car up to the entrance and it is valet parked for you at no cost. The key you hand back each time you come and go. You couldn’t ask for a better location, outside is the beautiful square where you can sit and soak up the atmosphere and have a delicious ice cream. A few minutes walk is the bull ring where you can learn about the history of bull running. So many lovely places to each a few minutes walk away. We used the city bikes to cycle further out to the ciudadela, which were cheap to pick up and drop off at charging points (fully electric). The hotel recommend La olla which was exceptional. You also have to try Bar Gaucho for some pinchos.

The Gran Hotel La Perla is much more classic/traditional in style than our usual choice, but we of course had zero regrets — the staff were wonderful and so friendly, our room was spacious, quiet and relaxing, and the location is unbeatable for walking around the heart of the city. Best of all, since we were driving to Pamplona, is the hotel’s valet parking service. We called to confirm that it was correct to drive around the busy town square (!), and the front desk staff happily confirmed. We parked outside the front reception and they took care of the rest, then retrieved our car in time for our departure the next morning. This simple service/gesture made everything SO easy and relaxing, and made us feel right at home, giving us a completely stress-free stay in Pamplona.

What I liked was the location. What I did not like was the room we were given. The room had no windows only a skylight. Only a view of the sky and rain. It had to be the worst hotel room that I have ever stayed in. The whole purpose of staying at the hotel is its location and view of the central plaza. Although I called the hotel to request a room on the square . I was told that all the rooms had views. On arrival we were told it would be an additional 150 Euros a night to get a room with a view. It is rated as a 5 star hotel in Spain - which it definitely is not. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!

I was traveling with my brother and we both found the hotel to be lively. In particular, the device and the front desk staff was incredibly amicable and informative. The location was perfect and we were surprised that even though we were right on the plaza the rooms were very quiet. The rooms were well appointed and we were glad we selected a superior room with more room for the two of us.

We were exhausted and regret to say, slept through the morning and woke up to check out. However: the room was full of all those details that make a hotel special. Spacious shower that was a real treat, double sink with complete set of toiletries and a bathroom with a bidet and great lighting. The beds were uber comfortable and the decoration managed to mic modernity with a feeling of old times that is difficult to find nowadays.

If you’re a fan of Ernest Hemingway, this is the place to stay — you can feel the literary history and charm throughout. A perfect spot to experience Pamplona’s culture and atmosphere. Highly recommend!
