When booking this hotel I thought I was booking another one, but this turned out well. Actually, in an ancient town this property is “new” and nicely done. Breakfast the usual foods Walk 300 ft to the square on which the castle lies (and what a castle it is). Be forwarned-the hotel is about 150 ft in from easy access, so your choice-pull luggage or drive in, drop, and back out of a narrow street, which I did.

Ideal in old town. Comfortable and clean, helpful receptionist.

The staff, particularly the evening person at the front desk was helpful and full of information.

A lovely hotel with one of the best showers ever! (Lots of room, multiple jets...) Very helpful and friendly staff. Parking on-site, but I was a bit frightened of the tight corners, so found free on-street parking close by. Great place to stay.

We stayed at La Joyosa Guarda during a short visit to Olite. The hotel is very close to the center and thus easy to get anywhere by foot. Getting to the hotel with a large car was challenging, but this is normal for small towns in Spain. We stayed in a junior suite. The room was big enough for them to provide 2 extra beds for the kids and we effectively had 2 separate rooms in the end. The staff was friendly and the hotel clean and modern.

Lovely medivael village, just an overnight stay for us , and hotel staff were very friendly and spoke a little English which helped a lot. Bathroom s whilst initial thoughts were smart looked a little tired but hotel was worth the money , would go back

Parking in the car park was an experience - ten minutes to manoeuvre in - not recommended for larger cars or 4x4's. No breakfast before 8.30am a problem for anyone travelling on elsewhere and wanting to start early. The suite was bizarre, a very strange shape meet our needs but was not very "comfortable".

Had a bit of trouble finding the hotel but it was absolutely lovely! The staff were very helpful and the room beautiful and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Beatiful hotel in the heart of Olite. We stayed one night and really enjoyed it.

Had a 2 night stay during Pamplona San Fermin festival. Good location away from Pamplona. Lots of places to eat in town. Hotel felt brand new.
