Every monument has a story to tell. Check out Virgen del Carmen and learn a little about the city's history.

You'll be spoiled for sightseeing choice when visiting Santurtzi. Virgen del Carmen is a good place to begin here, but there are lots of other worthy spots to enjoy. San Mames Stadium, Sopelana Beach, and University of Deusto Bilbao are close to the commemorative structure and will round out your day nicely.

8.6/10 Excellent! (48 reviews)

The staff was available through whats app and did peovide iron when asked. The self check in post 5 pm worked well. Washroom was good size with all the amenities. However, the room was very very small for three people, with three beds there was tiny space in between beds and the entrance door. There were rooms which were definitely bigger ag the site. The room was also full of dust when we checked in and everything needed to be cleaned with wet wipes before using - e.g. side tables, kettle, top of the fridge, the open closet and hanging space. There is one waste basket in washroom - there should be waste basket in the room as well.

The view from the room was stunning, every detail was thoughtful and the bed was so comfy. I loved that we could open the window to hear the sounds of the ocean. We also had dinner at Amelia and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Worth every penny, we will definitely be back!
