Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located on a steep hillside with gabions under which was a service road, offering an extra bed in the room. Although initially smelling of smoke, the experience felt like an absolute waste of money. The service had its ups and downs and the location was near the old town, but improvements could be made. Dining was satisfactory but could align better with higher expectations.
The hotel is located in a quaint village, close to the town square and metro station, offering a quiet atmosphere with easy access to bars and restaurants. The rooms, while a bit dated, are within a well-kept older building that could use some updating. The staff is consistently helpful and accommodating, although some may find the service slow at times.
The hotel offers clean, large, and immaculate rooms with all necessary facilities, but there was a slight smell of smoke upon arrival. The service was top-notch, with lovely and helpful staff, particularly accommodating unexpected needs. The location is exceptionally beautiful, perfect for exploring the Basque region. The dining experience was satisfactory overall. The hotel features nice swimming pool facilities.
