"The hotel facilities were great - the swimming pool was a good temperature and size, there was a large relaxed bar area and a pool table that was free to play."
"It is close to the metro station santutxu (buy a barrik card at metro station or "tabacco" shop for €3 and top it up and each journey will only cost you 50 cents) and an easy downhill walk to casco viejo (old town)."
"The hotel is in a good location, with secure car park if you are arriving from the ferry."
