Great little hotel in a perfect old town location.
We stayed here twice in a trip round the Basque region. The welcome was lovely. The location is absolutely perfect, right by the transport and right by the old town. Our room was spacious with a view over the park. Lovely big windows. I would definitely stay here again.
The hotel is in a great location for exploring the city. Literally on the doorstep of the old town and within 5 minutes walk of the cathedral, pintxos bars and the main market. Cross the river and you are in the new town. The Guggenheim is 20 minutes walk along the river . The reception staff were very helpful and the breakfast lady very pleasant. Breakfast was generally a cold buffet , the usual fruit, croissant and rolls with fillings and some hot Spanish omelette and bacon. Coffee machine was good and useable in the day.
The room was clean and tidy with a comfortable bed and a defect shower, contained in a small cubicle. We were at the front of the hotel and it’s fairly noisy , at times in the night, with some locals appearing to want to party in the park opposite around 03.00 one night and then the waste collection at 05.30. Just needed to close the doors and put the air conditioning on instead.
But in general a lovely hotel in a great spot for exploring.
Friendly staff, large spacious room with complimentary toiletries including toothbrush etc. tea/coffee facilities in room. Comfy bed. Breakfast is continental and you need to book your time slot as only a small area but no issues doing that. Great location.
We have found the Sercotels to be consistently well run and very nice

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel was very clean and the bed comfortable. The Wi-Fi did not work well. We arrived in early May and the air conditioning for the entire hotel hadn’t been turned on yet, which was unfortunate because our room was on the main intersection and it was loud throughout the afternoon and entire night. There was a protest for about an hour outside our room, lots of sirens, motorcycles and loud parties way into the night. We had no choice but to open the windows.
Nice comfortable hotel room was great warm and welcoming.... Morning breakfast buffet was poor. The weather was very bad rained everyday and was cold my break away was a disaster. Nothing to do with hotel just how things goes...
