Scene
Small and charming family-run hotel with English-style interiors
This small family-run hotel has just 21 rooms, which makes for an intimate atmosphere that coupled with its prime location, attracts tourists seeking to explore the city or indulge in some beach time. Interiors are cozy, featuring a traditional English style. Brown leather sofas and armchairs in the lobby invite lingering and are paired with red patterned carpeting and quaint details like an old grandfather clock. There's a cute patio in an inner courtyard that offers alfresco seating amid a smattering of greenery, potted flowers, and small palm trees sprouting from pebbled ground. Location is one of the highlights here and a big draw for tourists seeking a convenient base for exploring the city and the Basque coast. Note that though the property is a solid option in the area, its limited features and services mean that it falls short of it's self-professed four-pearl status; guests expecting an upscale experience may be disappointed.

Features
Modest features include a breakfast buffet served in a pleasant dining space and cozy lobby bar
