Two of us stayed here for one night in November 2006, having arrived on spec and been directed there from Hotel Europa around the corner. This area of Pamplona doesn't have many hotels or B&Bs, so we were expecting to pay too much and not necessarily have a satisfactory experience. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Okay, it was on the pricey side for Spain, but the room was very clean and well-kept, everything functioned, and the bathroom was pleasant and well-fitted, with a window that opened to the outside world (very rare!).

We paid 92 Euros including all taxes for a double (actually a twin) room, and breakfast - which was better than average. Also, breakfast times were extremely civilised on this Sunday morning - served 8 til 11am. Breakfast was extremely popular by the time we staggered down at 10.30, but nice to have a busy, lively breakfast room full of Spaniards rather than the sometimes stifling or claustrophobic atmosphere of many hotel breakfast rooms.

It wasn't a hotel that had anything particularly special about it, but there was a friendly atmosphere - the staff were very pleasant - the room was extremely quiet, clean, as mentioned, and all in all I couldn't fault it. With the excellent location just by the bullring, on the edge of the old town, I would stay there again if in Pamplona.

The hotel is reforming so it is very difficult arrive. It is dirty and the room smells horrible. For me, was a nightmare.

We stayed at the Leyre in May. It's in a great location, only a few minutes walk from the old part of Pamplona and it's square. There is also loads of parking within 2 mins walk which is handy. The place is clean and comfortable and breakfasts were fine. However, make sure you ask for a room away from the lift door / shaft as we stayed in one of these rooms on the first night and go no sleep due to the noise. To top it all the shower also didn't work but we were moved immediately to another quieter room when we complained. A few other friends also stayed at this hotel and had no problems. It's a good hotel for seeing the city sites and we would recommend it (just don't stay in a room next to the lift!)
