Micampus Pamplona Student Residence

I had to book a room in Pamplona for a couple of nights at a very last minute and with a low budget,without knowing the city at all,due to other commitments that did not go as planned.I opted for this place as it was cheaper than others and very close to the bus station,that I needed to use for the three days there.The joint appears to be mainly used for long-term accommodation by students,with the odd rooms rented out for short term. PROS The receptionists I dealt with were very corteus and polite. Check in/out hassles free. The fire alarm went off (false one anyway) and it was promptly dealt within a few minutes by a staff member. Next to the hotel there is a bus stop where you can hop on a bus to the city center and will take a 10 mins ride. Supermarkets,coffee shops,restaurants and pubs ,can be also found within a 5 mins walk. CONS There is only a lift in the place that,as the joint was busy,was taking for ages. I was there for 2 nights and no hosuekeeping was provided. Not impressed at all with the overall cleanliness of the room and especially the corridors of the building,where a muggy smell of mold was clinching my nose as I was walking along them. The A/C appears to be 'not an A/C' but a simple fan unit in the room conceiled in the ceiling.The room was warm and I did not get a good sleep. The fridge was not cooling at all. No facilities at all. As I said,it was a very last minute booking so I guess I got what I paid for.Would not return.

The property was booked for 2 people but only had one towel. The room had no soap nor glasses/cups.

The maintenance gentleman was nice, as was housekeeping. The building is under construction and some floors do not have air conditioning. When I complained about no air conditioning and a broken refrigerator the first hour after check in, and I was moved to another room with no air conditioning causing sweat box conditions. Shouldn’t the front desk person know the entire floor did not have air conditioning? There are many possible reasons for this, but the desk staff were not very helpful and did not speak English as advertised.
