I am flying into Pamplona on 21 August and catching a bus the following morning to St. Jean Pied de Port. My question is are there two bus stations in Pamplona? The one that looks like I need to go to is On Calle Yanguas y Miranda 2. Does anyone know of lodging that would be close to that bus station. Thank you!
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

I have stayed at Hotel Eslava 4 times! Very reasonably priced, great breakfast, quaint, friendly, awesome location and they can tell you (and give you a map if needed) how to get to the bus station. I walked from there in 5 min. Close to the post office too if you are mailing luggage to Santiago. Buen Camino! I will be there August 3!
 
Hostal Arriazu for me in 2017 & already booked again for this Sept (both the bus & the accommodation). Arriazu is 700m (less than 10 min walk) from bus station.

Yes the bus station is on Calle Yanguas y Miranda. It is all located underground. The only visible part is the glass building with the entrance and stairs. On my first visit, I had checked it out the evening before I was travelling, just to get my bearings.
I have stayed in Hostal Arriazu and Hostal Navarra, both good, and close to the bus station.

I only know of one and that is on Calle Yanguas y Miranda. Just repeating it to make you feel more secure about @SFletcher's answer. That's the station we used to get to SJPDP.

The website for the bus station is:

The bus station is a ten minute walk to many hostels in Pamplona. I stayed at 2 excellent ones, one was next to the cathedral.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

I'm noticing hotels being mentioned. Private albergues are likely to let you spend the night also. Mentioned in case you want a cheaper place to stay more than you want a place where you can get some sleep.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

I have reservations at hotel Eslava for night i am arriving in Pamplona where i will start walking, last year i stayed in a hostal in city center it was so noisy ALL night (my mistake it was Friday night)I got no sleep and dragged myself out of town. So this year I reserved the night at Eslava looks like its more out of the cityclose to the Camino. Did Imake a wise choice?
 
I forgot about this part. Pamplona's line A street bus leaves the airport every hour on the hour to bring you to the bus station. I think it stops at two places first and takes about 15 minutes. Use the money you save over a taxi to buy some pinchos.
The above is no longer entirely correct. A taxi now replaces the bus, goes near the bus station but not to it and it needs to be reserved (but short notice is okay). The fare is less than an euro per person. See this post on another thread and the one after it: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/madrid-to-pamplona.63185/#post-768542
 
There is the Aloha Hostel which is close to the Bus Port.

My son and I stayed at the Eslava last May. I really loved staying there. Very nice hosts. They hooked us up for a taxi to SJPdP. Very clean and convenient. A beautiful walk from the train.

Definitely a good choice! I wouldn't say it's out of the city - still within the old town, very close to the Camino. But having stayed there three times now including Easter weekend, with rooms facing the street, I've never noticed any noise. Very peaceful, just far enough from the noisy areas - you don't have to go far for things to become much quieter. Very friendly and helpful owners too.

I'm trying to book Hotel Eslava for this coming June. What is the best way to contact and reserve a room with them? I can't find an email address.

It looks to me like the Hotel Eslava is now called Alda Centro Pamplona.


I could be wrong about that, because it’s just based on a google search, but the addresses are the same, I think.

Not to change your plans, but in case I messed up on the Eslava, a cheap clean place in Pamplona, right near Plaza Mayor is Hostal Bearán.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

I think you are right - the reception area looks the same, or similar.
