Iraipe Albergue Municipal de Villava

I wanted to say Elizabeta was superb, kind and helpful. I came to run with the bulls during or the San Fermin festival. the location was right next to the community swimming pools which was so nice, refreshing and I really enjoyed. The hostel also sells discounted tickets which made it even better! When attempting to get into the center of town however, it is over 30+ minutes which I felt was a bit of a pain to go back and forth. it was other whys quiet & no parties. Very clean, Not very social.

The check in is a code. I was supposed to receive my code at 12:00 according to the confirmation email after checking in. I did not receive my code until I arrived and got help from another guest at the property would called the owner (4 hours). I was locked out for hours with no response via WhatsApp from the owner. Thankfully the other guest was nice enough to let me in.

Location is about as far away as you can get from Pamplona. Staff was very mixed, some very unhelpful and unpleasant, others very nice. The sleeping halls are quite big, so there's a lot of people and the rooms get stuffy and hot. Beds and bathrooms are fine, quite a nice shower. No clue why check-out time has to be 9 o clock, be prepared to be woken up a lot by your fellow travelers early in the morning. During my stay there were gigantic groups of kids, so there was an abundance of noise.
