Hotel Maisonnave occupies a central position in Pamplona's Old Town on Calle Nueva, one of the main commercial streets of the Casco Viejo and a short walk from Plaza del Castillo, the Encierro route, and the principal pintxos bars of the San Nicolás and Estafeta streets. The hotel's entrance opens directly onto one of Pamplona's busiest pedestrian thoroughfares, providing immediate immersion in the city's street life and gastronomy. The Cathedral of Pamplona and the Museum of Navarre are both within a ten-minute walk. The hotel is a well-established mid-range option that has operated on Calle Nueva for many years. Its building contains Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms, and Family Rooms, all comfortably furnished and regularly updated with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, flat-screen televisions, and free wi-fi. Family Rooms accommodate parents and children in a single space, and the hotel's elevator provides floor-to-floor access. Breakfast is served daily in the hotel's dining area, and a bar on the ground floor operates throughout the day. The hotel does not have its own restaurant, but Calle Nueva and the surrounding streets contain some of Pamplona's most celebrated pintxos bars and sit-down restaurants, providing extensive dining options within metres of the front door. Concierge staff offer advice on restaurant reservations, festival tickets during San Fermín, and day-trip logistics for exploring Navarre's wine country and the Pyrenean foothills. During the San Fermín festival in July, Hotel Maisonnave — like most central Pamplona hotels — books out months in advance and room rates rise substantially. Visitors planning to stay during the festival are strongly advised to book early and confirm reservation policies directly with the hotel. Outside festival season, the hotel offers competitive rates for its Old Town location and represents one of the more affordable mid-range options in the Casco Viejo of Navarre's capital.

- During San Fermín, book many months in advance; rooms on Calle Nueva are among the most sought-after festival accommodation in Pamplona
- Family Rooms have limited availability; secure one early when travelling with children
- The hotel's location on a busy pedestrian street means lower floors can be noisy at night; request an upper-floor or rear-facing room for quieter stays

When to visit
The Old Town is lively year-round. San Fermín festival in July is the peak demand period. Spring, when the asparagus season begins in Navarre, and autumn, during the wine harvest period, are excellent alternatives for a quieter and more affordable visit to Pamplona.
Accessibility
Hotel Maisonnave provides elevator access between all floors, enabling guests with reduced mobility to reach upper-floor rooms without using stairs. Accessible room configurations are available on request; guests should confirm bathroom arrangements when booking as room layouts vary across the property.
