Wonderful hotel in prime location on the main square. Fantastic service from the moment we checked in - the reception staff are superb and can’t do enough for you. Our room 404 was really spacious and luxurious with the biggest walk-in shower I’ve ever seen. A truly marvellous stay and would love to return.

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!

Dear Mr. DhirendraWe are very sorry for your discomfort, as we are also sorry for the discomfort of any guest who might have any problems during their stay with us.We have been more than 142 years, accommodating and attending to all the people who have wanted to spend the night in this house.Our values are the values of a century-old establishment, among others credibility, love of work, commitment to what we do, discretion, prudence and the ethical dimension.Without these values it is very difficult to get where we are. It's been five generations of a family business.And because of all this, we understand that everything he tells us, is due to a misunderstanding.We don't know what room you could expect to find, but the hotel assigned you the room you chose and finally booked, the cheapest. Room that on the page where you made the reservation, comes perfectly described and accompanied by a photograph with the window on the ceiling. On the same page, I could have chosen another room overlooking the Plaza, with its corresponding features and price. Neither we, nor Expedia in this case, are selling one thing for another.If you called the hotel, as you say, the hotel would have told you that the rooms with a view of the Plaza have a different rate, and would have recommended that you, through the page where I book the attic room, cancel it and book the room you wanted. And it's that simple.Our industry is exposed to such comments, which serve to call into question the reputation of an establishment, regardless of whether the hotel has acted correctly and as always has fulfilled its commitment. That's how our history supports it. They may not recommend us, but we are helpless not to be able not to recommend us to clients.We are truly sorry for your discomfort.A greeting from La Perla.

The hotel was beautiful. However, the beds were not comfortable and the heater was on the entire time without the possibility of using A/C. We tried to cool off the room by opening the windows but the noise outside was too much.

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.

Huge room with beautiful shower and bathroom in the center of Pamplona. Historic hotel that overlooks the main plaza of the village on one side and one of the streets for the encierro on the other. All the major streets with pintxos bars within a couple of minutes away.

The location is excellent right in the central square, the staff at the front desk is always kind and friendly, very supportive. Probably the best staff I have experienced ever. The rooms are large by European standards, the bathroom is quite large, the bed and linens are good not luxury but very good, the breakfast was included in our rate and it was quite good, we were allowed a late checkout and that was pretty good and helpful. The experience overall was incredible, Pamplona is a very nice town and its people is kind and warm. Please if you have the chance go to Hotel Europa its restaurant is probably one of the very best anywhere and its owner is just awesome. Beautiful again

The stay was amazing. I have the opportunity to travel a lot because of my job and this is easily one of the best 5 hotels worldwide. The best: people is very kind and they always try to cover your needs. They make you feel at home. Also, the hotel is in quite good conditions and in a very centric area of Pamplona. Love it.
