Great hotel for location, at the Intermodal bus station. Rooms fabulous, but lack of conditioner and hand/body lotion. Check-in elaborate and took the longest time out of all the hotels we stayed in .

9.8/10 Exceptional! (216 reviews)
I loved this unique boutique hotel. My room was technically quite small, but designed in an interesting and fun way. There was a longish corridor upon entering lined with things like a safe, some storage area, the refrigerator etc, and a small desk. The short corridor ended in a larger area taken up almost entirely by the bed, which itself had some extra drawers, counters, and niches to help with storage and organization. To the side a small bathroom, but one with a large shower with excellent water pressure. The dark decor was very attractive. The room had a small balcony. While not large, I was totally comfortable, and I really enjoyed all my time in the room. Breakfast is served in the library and bar-like lobby in two shifts features a cold buffet and hot items from a menu. The hotel is on a pedestrian street in an old characterful building in the old city, very close to one of the most significant churches and the river, a very pleasant 30 minute or so stroll to the Guggenheim. I highly recommend this delightful , one of a kind hotel.

Stayed here with my husband and teenage daughter and was really pleasantly surprised. We booked a private room for 3 with our own private bathroom. It was very clean and the hostel itself is quite cool. Unfortunately we booked at the weekend of the Aste Nagusia festival and our room overlooked a square with a concert going on till 1 am. We were advised in advance but not at the time of booking so it was noisy. Nevertheless this is a great spot, very convenient location. We didn't have breakfast here as there's a wealth of great food places nearby
