Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Two-star facilities — Expect a gym and terrace but no restaurant or extensive amenities beyond the basics. The property is a two-star hotel, so on-site facilities are limited.
  • No pets allowed — Despite one review mentioning staff being friendly with pets, the hotel policy clearly states that pets are not permitted on site.
  • Check-in window closes at 23:59 — If you're arriving late at night, the reception is 24-hour but check-in only runs from 15:00 to 23:59. Plan your arrival accordingly.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — Parking is not listed among the hotel's amenities or policies, so guests arriving by car may need to find public parking nearby.

“A beautiful hotel in a lively area. Rooms were reasonably large, quiet, and featured wonderful views and balconies. The centre was about a 10-minute walk, and a bus stop was right by the property.”

“The hotel area was clean and the room modern. The location was convenient for the beach, public transport, and the airport, and it was within walking distance of Tedone Jatetxea, where I ate a couple of times. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would return.”
