Arabako Ibarrak hotel guide. Paradores hotel in Arabako Ibarrak, Basque Country

"One of the worst hotel stays I've ever experienced. This hotel is an embarrassment and should not have been opened when we stayed. The room was extremely dated with cracked and patched walls that had not been painted, worn, and bare carpet with holes (literally), no bed skirt so just an exposed base. The restaurant was closed for the season, the bar was closed two nights a week, including one of nights we stayed. There was no mention of any of this or the construction going on when booked. Just an experience to forget in a hotel I wish I hadn't chosen. As for the construction, there was loud banging and noise every morning starting around 7-8 and into the evenings until 6. One day the entire hotel filled with and was left with coat of dust on virtually every surface everywhere. What's worse, this was not cleaned in the breakfast area for the next morning. The tables and chairs were filthy, everything was still covered in a thick white coat of dust. Quite simply, this hotel should not be open and operating in this kind of state, especially with the construction. Obviously, based on the condition of the room, the hotel is in bad need of upgrade, and apparently the construction is to do that as the entire first floor was closed for renovations. All in all, a terrible stay at an embarrassment of a hotel that leaves me unlikely to ever book at a Eurostars property again. The complete lack of regard for guests in this hotel is enough to put me off the brand entirely."

"Nice"

"Great hotel, big rooms"

"The hotel is very well located. Parking in the property is safe and convenient. The staff was grat. Specially the front desk lady who received us was exeptional. Spacius rooms and very quiet propoerty. Breakfast buffet avilable and fully recomended. "

"Easy parking. Remember this is an efficiency so nothing but the essentials: clean sheets, towels, toilet and shower. I suggest asking for a room at the back as it can get noisy out front! The breakfast is great so take the breakfast. Finding a sitdown restaurant within walking which is open before 8pm is tough. Locals are quite reserved like Parissians!"

"Beautiful converted convent recently refurbished to a high standard. Simple rooms with high quality bedding and towels.. Bottled water was provided as well as toiletries. Breakfast was good value and the lounges comfortably furnished and beautifully decorated The staff were very friendly and helpful . The hotel is just a few minutes from the town with bars and restaurants and a few metres from the botanic garden and castle viewpoint . "

"Central location, walkable to casco viejo, comfortable rooms, free EV charger onsite so we can charge overnight. "

"All was good plenty of parking don't know if its safe as its very open just luck i suppose. Not impressed with the breakfast not much choice any food that was supposed to be hot was cold no microwave, the bacon was not cooked along with the tomatoes (they were the only hot food offered) "

"Beautiful view of the river and excellent hotel - amazing terrace and breakfast!"
