Occidental Pamplona
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
A good booking if you want a quiet, well-reviewed four-star hotel with a strong breakfast and do not mind a 20 to 25 minute walk into the old centre. If you want to step straight out into the old town, or you want the lowest price, our other two picks fit better.

This is our Best Value pick for Pamplona. It suits couples, families and business travellers who value a quiet night and a big breakfast over a central address. The property lists a gym, a restaurant, family rooms, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.
Skip it if you want to be in the middle of the action. The hotel is in a residential area, and the cathedral is about 25 minutes away on foot. Guests also mention that room rates and parking costs feel high, so drivers should factor that in.
Location and getting around
The address is Acella, 1. Guests describe a quiet residential area near Yamaguchi Park, about a 20-minute walk from the city centre. The location score is 8.7 out of 10, lower than many central hotels.
By our straight-line estimates, the Plaza de Toros de Pamplona is 1.9 km away, about 24 minutes on foot, and Pamplona Cathedral is 2 km, about 25 minutes. Both are walkable but not quick. The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Purificación in Gazólaz is 5 km, around 63 minutes, which is far: plan on public transport or a taxi.
Walking times are estimates, not measured routes. Public transport links are not confirmed in our data, so check options before you rely on them for evenings out.
What guests say
Occidental Pamplona scores 9.0 out of 10 from 3,163 reviews, a large and reliable sample. Breakfast stands out: an extensive buffet with fresh products, eggs cooked to order and gluten-free options. Guests also like the calm surroundings.
The main complaint is cost. Guests note that both room rates and parking are expensive, although many still consider the overall quality fair for what they pay.
Price and how it compares with our other Pamplona picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults, one room) was €121.50 per night, a little above the sample median of €108.13. These are reference prices, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Kora Kiliki, was €64.26 a night with a 9.1 score and four stars. Our Luxury pick, Gran Hotel La Perla, was €192.78 with a 9.3 score and five stars. On our reference dates, the Budget pick scored slightly higher for about half the price, so compare the two carefully for your dates. Occidental Pamplona's case rests on its large review base, its breakfast and its gym.
Why it made our top 3

Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Confirm whether breakfast is in your rate, since it is the hotel's most praised feature.
If you are driving, ask about the parking charge in advance, as guests flag it as costly. Check gym hours, and plan how you will get to and from the old town at night.
