“Excellent location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2010

This hotel is excellently placed. Our room overlooked the pedestrian street but the early morning street cleaner woke us up both mornings. On the plus side, the street was always very clean (perhaps we should have the same in the UK!)
Our room was quite small. Our friends had a much bigger one. Luck of the draw.
This hotel is not big, but crammed to the rafters with 'objets d'art'. When my husband arrived with the cases (there is no lift, but there is a stannah!) he thought I was stood in the gift shop. I was stood on the landing outside our room, but it had so many statues and loads of mirrors, it took a few minutes to get a sense of direction. No breakfast, but the Casablance cafe close by did a mean spanish omelette. The receptionist, who appeared to work out of little more than a cupboard, was very helpful. The car park in the next street was full and very cramped. We ended up parking in the Cathedral car park a short walk away. No problems and much more room.
Vitoria was an unexpected delight and this hotel was only €50 a night. Very good value.

“Charming and fun, very eclectic.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2009

My daughter and I stayed two nights at this charming hotel at the end of April. A very sweet and clean room, comfortable beds and overlooking a very quiet pedestrian street. (Except for the early morning street cleaner). A delightful and friendly staff.
Also very close to a couple of wonderful, very popular tapas bars and literally a short, straight shot to the train station which is fabulous for those early morning trains. Reasonably priced!

“Funkiest hotel I´ve ever stayed at.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2008

people found this review helpful

Stayed in this hotel with my wife during a recent tour of the Basque Country. It was recommended to us by a local friend mostly because of it´s location and affordable price. In the end, we really enjoyed it. It´s a smallish hotel housed in a classic building on a pedestrian street. The first two things one notices are the really narrow staircase leading from the street to the front desk and the incredible amount of kitsch decor covering every inch of wall and ceiling. The check-in "counter" is like a little 18th century accountant´s desk in the middle of a jungle of kitsch statues, ornaments, lamps, stuffed animals, and innumerable other works of "art". We found it really pleasant in a surreal kind of way; others may find the experience a bit too claustrophobic.

The room was nice, with a comfortable bed and a tiny but well appointed bathroom. The decor was still similar to the rest of the hotel but a little less overwhelming. A real plus was a charming, enclosed balcony in the room; it faced the pedestrian street and made you feel like a 19th century aristocrat, sitting in your own enclosed balcony looking down at life below.

To enjoy this hotel you must have an open mind and appreciate the different things in life. If you´re looking for 5 star accomodations and service, look elsewhere: This hotel is for those who don´t mind some imperfections and appreciate character and originality.

“basic, budget”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2008

person found this review helpful

Rooms at the front of the hotel are cramped and very noisy. You must ask for a room at the back of the hotel.
The rooms are cluttered with tacky plastic things, but lack basics such as bed-side lamps.
Lumpy beds.
The bathroom doors are made of glass, so you have to be very friendly with your partner!

OK for one night, but no more.
