Staff were lovely - made the stay. Breakfast room was lovely too with a view out to the coast. Parking was easy and safe. Enjoyable walk, ten minutes to the nearest beach and a further ten to centre of old town/port. Excellent bus service to centre of Bilbao should you need it.

We were going to set off too early for breakfast but the receptionist kindly allowed us to take away breakfast ths night before. The receptionist also gave us helpful directions to a restaurant. The location was very close to the bus stop from Bilbao. The room was very comfortable with a handy fridge.

“Lovely hotel in excellent location. Would recommend”
Breakfast was lovely, everything we could want and beautifully presented. The location is perfect. Easy to find, well signposted and a lovely walk to the promenade from the hotel. Be aware that in this area you cannot get a meal before 20.00 in the evening however for travellers there is a Mcdonald and Burger King locally.

“Great for a short stay without parking problems”
This hotel is basic, but very clean, with comfortable beds. The room had a kettle and a fridge, and was well-heated in a chilly December. There was no problem with bringing our dog (€5 surcharge) and the staff were very welcoming. Breakfast is included, it's fairly basic, but adequate. Free secure parking is provided, it's 10 minutes walk to the sea, a little more to the centre, and it's only 20 minutes drive to the Bilbao ferry port. What not to like!

“good hostal, good location and good value for money”
property was easy to locate. lovely lady on reception for check in and info on parking and things to see around the town which turned out to be a gem. approx. 7 minutes walk took you to the seafront then a 20 minute stroll took you to main hub of town. parking very convenient across road in secure underground carpark. breakfast was ample. you could eat as much as you like with plenty of choices. also fridge in room. if back in castro i'd definitely use again :-)
