We stayed at Hotel Albret for two nights/three days during San Fermin. We booked through a tour company and this was listed as the 'budget' hotel so our hopes were not very high. Upon arrival the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful (they spoke English), and our room was very clean and quiet despite the festival going on in the city. After check in we realized the safe in our room was not working, but the front desk let us keep everything locked in a secure area that we could access at any time. We later found out it is considered 'budget' due to it's distance from the encierro and downtown area. It was a 25-30 minute walk into the heart of the festival, but there was a #12 bus that stopped half a block from the hotel which made downtown very accessible. We would absolutely return here if returning to Pamplona.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for three nights during the San Fermin Festival in 2011. It is a nice, clean, big, American-style hotel seemingly on the outskirts of town. It was about a 15-minute bus ride into the city for festival-related events.

It is clean, and our room was much larger than any other room I've ever stayed at in Europe. It had a big TV, a king or queen-size bed (not sure which), with a good sized bathroom and a minibar. It also offered free wi-fi, which was nice for using with our American smartphones.

It was clean, the staff seemed friendly from what little interaction we had with them and the place as a whole seemed fairly new.

No pool or spa that we saw, and no idea on value as this was booked through a Spyns tour. The restaurant on the main floor only seemed to offer pastries.

Overall, we were very happy with this place.

I was back at the Albret as part of a pre-trip for Spyns running of the bulls tours. The Hotel Albret is located about a 25-30 minute walk from the city centre (10 mins by bus) so the rooms rates are quite reasonable during July's San Fermin festival. I believe it's the best deal in Pamplona during the running of the bulls. The rooms are standard, not unlike a comfortable airport hotel, but the staff is outstanding. I stay in a lot of hotels and it's always a good sign to see the manager (named Alberto) at reception. I didn't find noise was a problem even though the hotel is located on a busy street. Given its suburban location, the hotel also has secure underground parking which is a plus during the festival. Former Spyns clients have also raved about it. It's a reasonable alternative to the pricey downtown hotels charging twice as much during the festival but you should expect to take the odd bus or taxi downtown.

Booked this hotel as I was traveling from Portugal to France.
Nice, clean and comfortable hotel with good Parking underneath the hotel.
Excellent breakfast (except for the coffee)
Reception staff very friendly and helpfull.
