Gee. I'm not sure. We Uber'd over from our hotel and got there and were told 'no room at the inn'…read more No, 'we are filled up and you'd have to wait an hour or so.' Just a curt 'nada!'

This hotel is in the heart of the old town in Pamplona, walking outside your door, you can find…read moregreat restaurants, Tapas bars and sites to see in minutes. The staff is outstanding, always there to help We stayed 3 nights, would have stayed 4, but our first time there they were fully booked for the next night. On our return trip we made sure we booked the 2 nights ahead of time. We had started our trip in Budapest where our Viking river cruise began. It was our first time on such a fancy trip. We are Pilgrims at heart, which is why we extended our trip for 3 more weeks. We ended in Amsterdam but took a train to Lourdes, then Bayonne, we were looking to hike an obscure Camino route " Camino del Batzon". It went from Bayonne to Pamplona. After our first day we found how obscure it was, Almost all the hotels had shut down due to lack of pilgrims. Time for plan B, we decided to go directly to Pamplona. We backtracked to Bayonne, then a bus to Pamplona, where our first stay was at this hotel. What a great city and made better by our hosts, so we hiked from Pamplona to Longrona and back. This was our shortest Camino, but I can now say I've been on all 5 of the major ones. Three complete from 2015, over 850 kilometers and 4 credentials We have stayed in Alburques on every Camino, so don't think this is an "Alburque", it's a nice place to re center. So thank you Hotel Campanilla for making everything easy and welcoming of Pilgrims. Buen Camino.

When you don't speak a language, ordering can be fun! But they do have an English menu here. This…read moreplace seems to be one of three( I don't know) but we ate in Okela. This was an enclosed space with heaters, and was quite comfortable, and it was January. We ate here last night and decided to eat here again tonight. The waiters are prompt, polite and attentive( it was not crowded). The food, incredible! Last night I got the stuffed cuttlefish in squid ink. It was light, delicate, fresh and delicious. My husband got the sirloin steak. Having raised beef in KS, I was very impressed with the quality of the meat. Marbled, juicy and cooked perfectly. Topped off with a dessert cocktail of ice cream, fresh orange juice and orange liquor. No skimping on the liquor Ordering. Beer, we got a tapas of sausage, fried potatoes and grilled okra. Very tasty( especially the okra!) Tonight, we stayed with tapas( starters) and were able to try a couple. The croquettes were very good, rich and lots of Iberian ham insides creamy we also tried a soup of rice, oxtail and mushrooms. Very rich and flavorful. The mushrooms stood out as a star of the dish. Awaiting apple pie for dessert.

While in town for a short time and with my wife feeling unwell, I sought out a place to order carry…read moreout. We discovered El Txoko, and studied the menu for a while, since my knowledge of Spanish doesn't include many of the words they use (see photo I've uploaded of their English menu). It looked good, so I decided to make the trip to this traditional Basque restaurant (the sit-down side not their attached less formal side, which I didnt look into). The waiter gave me recommendations for dishes that would carry out well, and steered me away from ones that wouldn't, which I appreciated greatly. He also was willing to split an appetizer order, so that I could try the croquettes (with cecina) which my wife doesn't like as much and she could try their fried calamari. I also ordered the revuelto, and the oxtail stuffed peppers. Every thing was tasty and I would order everything but the calamari again (which didn't travel as well as everything else but was still perfectly cooked).

Great service, and even better food. My family and I were staying at a hotel in the vicinity, and…read moreLa Bekada stood out among the options nearby. Although we were ushered to the corner of an empty dining room, I could tell the diner's atmosphere was sophisticated but laid-back. Our server was pleasant, patient, and eager to flex his English skills. To whet our appetites, we began with an off-menu salad (waiter recommended) that came with a lump of mouth-watering smoked goat cheese and a some type of crunchy worm-like fish. Looked a little strange, but tasted quite good. We then moved on to shrimp, chicken, and beef croquettes (little fritters), which were playfully arranged on the branches of a miniature tree constructed from coiled wire. The outsides were thin and crispy, with gooey centers infused with notes of rosemary. For our main courses, we ordered two paella platters: one Mixta and one Negra. Now that's more like it. THIS-- generous helpings of colorful cooked rice bursting with meaty toppings and rich flavors-- is exactly how I envisioned the renowned Spanish staple. The Paella Mixta was buttery and smooth, with a combination of shrimp and chicken. The rice was actually the best part and paired nicely with the lemon. The star of the meal, however, was the Paella Negra, white rice doused with squid ink and cooked in a seafood broth with assorted sea critters. As a rabid seafood-lover, this pitch-black preparation blew me away with its savory taste and perfectly cooked calamari and shell-on prawns. This place has gotten mixed reviews elsewhere on the internet, but I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. Dare I say it might have been the best or second best meal we had during our stay in Spain!

Able to accommodate us gringos on a late Sunday night close to airport. Paella was large in size,…read morebut tasty. Good option for this part of town. Sangria in liters only, very sweet but still refreshing.

Now it was early to. have a dinner but as I had an early flight the next day I didn't want to be up too late. So they have this complimentary chorizo that they brought out and it was delicious. The almonds and fresh chips/crisps were nice starters also. Went with the sirloin medium rare, it was a little under when it came out to the table but my waiter explained that the "Hot Stone" was to grill it to your liking which was pretty cool. It was my first experience with this and I really enjoyed it, it just kind of added something to the meal. The service was better than other restaurants in Madrid that I had eaten at and sitting out on the patio was also pretty nice as the day was pretty great.

They also brought hot stones out that you could continue to cook your steak on. I can imagine this is traditional, but it was our first experience with this and we really enjoyed it. Everything as quite fresh and the service was better than other restaurants in Madrid. I ordered the cod in tomato sauce. The sauce was on the sweeter side, but very very good nonetheless. It was a hearty portion and I only finished about half of it. We loved this meal and this experience. Highly recommend
