    Well, the situation of the roads now make the location of the hotel confusing and misleading, due to construction most of the roads are close, it took us about 20mins to find the exact location of the hotel but after a few tries and countless u-turn we finally found our way to the hotel, after the bridge there is only one more traffic light which is a bit confusing coz on the left says No Entry but the Hotel is on the left side of the road, what we did is we break the rule and enter the left way and voila we found the hotel!

    The owner of the Place are so welcoming and nice, they even invited us for a Family lunch but unfortunately we were not able to make it because of a busy schedule. The room is spacious and clean.

    Nada.

    If you want a quiet and comfortable room in a nice area overlooking the river, away from the noise of the downtown/city centre area then this is the place for you. There's a bus stop nearby, or you can walk along the river to the centre which takes 30 mins or so. As for the area, it feels very safe. Even late at night there are people walking their dogs, exercising, walking along the river.. around near the hotel is very quiet. I've travelled a lot through Latin America, and more recently around Spain and this area is probably the safest I've felt anywhere, and it's a very pleasant walk to and from the centre.

    Comfortable and friendly hotel with helpful owners, outside the city center

    One potential drawback of the hotel was that the surrounding area was under construction, which may make the area less appealing. However, it's worth noting that the hotel itself isn't responsible for the construction, and we didn't experience any noise from the works before 8am. Despite this, the area felt safe, and we're sure that once the construction is complete, it will be a beautiful place to stay.

    During my stay at the hotel, I found the owners to be incredibly friendly and helpful. They provided us with a map of the area, highlighting some beautiful walks to take in the city, as well as pointing out the main points of interest and giving us some tips on good, cheap pintxos restaurants. While the hotel wasn't located in the city center, it provided a peaceful and quiet stay, free from outside noise. Although our room wasn't very large, it was perfect for two people, with a comfortable double bed, a desk, and a small armchair. The bathroom appeared to have been recently renovated, and everything was clean and well-maintained. Although breakfast wasn't included, there was a dining area with cakes (muffins, cookies) and drinks (coffee, milk) available for customers to help themselves in the morning and afternoon, which was a nice touch. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable stay.

    A bit of a walk to the main sites. 30 min to Guggenheim about an hour to the old town. Lovely walk though. Tram stop is 10 min walk. Easy to use, goes to add all the main points of interest. Not the hotels fault but there is a big building site close by. Didn't bother me but worth considering if you're a light sleeper

    Good value for money. Friendly helpful staff, clean, comfortable room. Location good for University and stadium

    the only thing would be to suggest to have single pillows instead of one long but this is a very minimum thing

    The owner was really helpful. he let us check in earlier than the actual time and suggested a lot of things to do in the city. also gave us a map :)

    Further from main town than I thought. Quite remote place that I wouldn't have wanted to walk to alone.

    Small hotel. Friendly staff. Small room Very off the beaten track so at least 30 mins walk to major parts of town and abit remote but good value for money.

    The only downside was the inability to keep a bicycle in the room, because the garage was dirty and unsuitable for bicycles.

    The hotel is located in a nice place us the river. Nice staff, the hotel is clean, nothing is missing.
