Noise from building, roadworks and traffic was horrendous, The noise never let up. The room wasn't bad although the view was of the road and a manky villa one side and a bar the other.. We had paid for a fortnight and stayed a couple of days then cleared off for the other side of Spain. We used it as... More

If you are travelling by car ask the hotel in advance for the postcode to enter into sat nav system as we took ages to find this place and were beginning to think it didn't exist! However once we found it it was fantastic! Fabulous large room with a small balcony overlooking mountains (between buildings), we had a fridge and... More

The room was spotless and the beds very very comfortable. The hotel is located in what seems a corner of a village at the foot of a hill, so it's absolutely quiet. Actually, it's only 15' from the city center and the airport by car, and there is even a bus stop directly in front of it. The free parking... More

We stayed here on the first and last night of our holiday in the Basque region and we loved our stay! Fair enough, Sondika doesn't have much to offer. But it is about a 15 minute bus drive into Bilbao (be warned, on a Saturday afternoon all the shops are closed in Bilbao!) and there are lovely restaurants about 10... More

We weren't expecting luxury, given the price, but this hotel was still very disappointing. Other than being extremely hard to find - and equally hard to figure out how to get into the driveway! - this hotel really has only one redeeming feature - it's near the airport. The rooms haven't been painted in YEARS and are badly beat up.... More

I was a solo traveller with a hire car. It says Sondika but you have to leave Sondika (under the bridge for another half K - if travelling from the east) to see the high-rise sign. There is free parking - it's not obvious but you have to drive accross the brick area in front of the hotel to get... More

Restaurant is not open on Saturday, so we had to go out for lunch and dinner in the rain. This is fine, but the corridor and room desires a lot. I dont think they have ever changed carpets in the corridor since the hotel was built! See pictures attached. Good front desk staff, but the GM never bothered to respond... More

The hotel is situated about 5 Kilometres outside of Bilbao in what is described elsewhere as an industrial area. I have to say that it is only light industry and you see little of it from the hotel. The road network around Bilbao can be confusing as it is a very hilly outside the city centre. It can therefore be... More

Although this hotel is outside of city center and in a somewhat industrial area, it was perfect! Parking is free, reception is very friendly and helpful, and restaurant dinner was very good; however a bit spendy. There are local restaurants close by or eat in town before returning to the hotel. The hotel bar could be improved. Our room was... More
