There is a lot to like about this hotel. The staff, without exception, is friendly and helpful. Our bed was comfortable and everything in the room worked. The limited breakfast was cheerfully served. The location is at the same corner as a Bilbao express bus stop so day trips to Bilbao are simple. It is a short walk to all the bars/restaurants/shopping.
Some limited mobility folks will find the second floor lobby, with no elevator, an inconvenience. Reception is not open 24 hours per day but guests receive keys for easy access.
Only the motion sensor bathroom light bothered us. If one of us went in to the bathroom at night, all the bright lights would suddenly turn. On the other hand, if you took a shower after dark, the lights would suddenly go out until you waved an arm or leg outside the shower to trigger the sensor and turn the lights back on.
The Camino Del Norte route turns at the corner by the hotel.
