There were some bad reviews which we saw only after payment was taken. On arrival these appeared unfair. The place looked ok. It was in an industrial estate some kms from Lezama, it is on the flight path to Bilbao airport, and the motorway is close so it is noisy. We asked if breakfast was included and were told it was. On balance we thought 86 euros - you can’t expect the Ritz. But, echoing previous reviews, the beds do have plastic mattress covers, bane of menopause. The room was really hot, opening the window made it hotter. Plugs had been removed from bath and bidet so no muscle or foot soak available tediously after a long, hot walk. There was nowhere comfortable to sit outside. I went in and prepared to lounge on a sofa. The woman who runs it sat glued to daytime tv and advised I could not put my feet up. I explained I was just out of the shower, they were sore etc. she didn’t budge. There are multiple rooms, some with balconies but no one was placed in one of these. The beds and pillows are hard and poor quality. Breakfast was really indifferent. Plastic ham, cold croissant. Good orange juice. We were then charged 8 euros each for this breakfast… It is abundantly clear no one would ever go back to this hotel which may explain the lack of interest towards guest experience by the owners but if I was talking to anyone undertaking Camino del Norte I would positively recommend they did not stay here.

Another poor review

Walked in after a long Camino day, through a heavy industrial area, to an unfriendly receptionist/owner who with prompting volunteered some information on where to have dinner. We lugged our bags up 2 floors into a dark room, with 2 single beds with dirty plastic mattress-protectors (like hospital beds). A tiny window in the room, only one side opened, looking onto industrial machinery. No fan, throughout the night factory noise, we had to close the window. The only redeeming feature was the orange juice at breakfast.

Not recommended

The rooms are fine, that’s the best thing I can say about the place. Location is terrible, in the middle of an industrial estate. But the worst thing is the staff. They absolutely hate their job and I can tell. These people should not work in hospitality. I was checked in for the night and my friend was flying back so he wanted to have a shower in my toom before his flight……absolutely no way. So we sat outside for a while and I went in to ask her where the toilet was, whereopon she pointed at my socks and told me to put shoes on. Cmon lady we’ve just walked 17km, have some humanity!!! Took great pleasure in stomping my mucky shoes across the lobby

Not the welcome we’ve come to love on Camino

The hotel is located next to an industrial estate. Avoid room 25 if you prefer a view other than a large chemical factory belching out smoke into the environment. If you would like a bath rather than a shower, take your own plug, as this item is missing from the bathroom and reception won't give you one. Breakfast is pretty miserable with processed ham and cheese. The bed and breakfast price includes 1 cup of coffee. There is an extra charge for a 2nd.

To be avoided

Close to industrial area but quiet on weekend.  Clean and tidy rooms.  Hostess not accommodating.  No food on premises and restaurants a good 1/2 mile away.  Breakfast not until 8am with no coffee earlier despite pleading.

Clean, close to camino

We stayed here whilst passing on the Camino.  Arrival involves a walk through an industrial estate but when you arrive, the welcome is warm and the rooms are comfortable.  We had a simple but delicious meal with tasty wine and soft drinks - just what we needed after the walk from Gernika.  Beds were comfy, breakfast was good (croissants toast cheese and ham with fresh OJ) and Sorkunde was super helpful with tips and guidance in English.  We’d recommend and feels like more than 2 stars.  Thank you!!

Welcoming and comfortable 

The grounds are beautiful.  A very friendly cat kept me company while sitting outside.  The deseyuno was outstanding!  A prepared bocadillo, tostada, fresh jam, zumo, cafe con leche.  The owner was very helpful and arranged a cab for us.

On the Camino Norte

Stopped here due to injury on the Camino, was very pleased I did. I saw the negative or 3 star rating about laundry...? this is a Hotel not an Albergue. I had a great time sitting on the covered front porch getting beers while reading a book. If your looking to avoid an overnight in Bilbao this is your place to stop, you can easily make it to Portugalete from this hotel. My room was well furnished and very clean. Hotel staff informed me of a nice bar that served dinner, (11 euro steak!)it was delicious. Then I slept very well it felt almost to quiet for me. Breakfast was typical for this area of Spain, Coffee was very good. Full size tub would have been nice but hey i squeezed in to the 1/2 tub to soak my worn out legs. Rated the price as Mid-Range do to it being listed in most guide books for the Camino, and most pilgrams won't have this flexible option or will likely go to Bilbao.

Epic Hotel if your planning to not stop in Bilbao while on the Camino.

We stated here for one night while walking the Camino booked by Macs Adventures.
The hotel is not really geared for walkers arriving with wet gear. Taking this to the room, as advised, which had no heat or working extractor in the bathroom, made everything in the room feel a little damp.
The room was fairly standard.
The evening meal was reasonably good, but the breakfast was very basic and limited.
We had the impression that maybe walkers were not their first choice of guests!

OK accommodation on the Camino Del Norte route

This little hotel was a great stop on our Camino del Norte walk.  The owner was very friendly and helpful.   While it isn't completely "rural" they did a very good job keeping the house screened off from town with a well manicured landscape.  There is an outdoor sitting area and the grounds are surprisingly peaceful as the hotel is really quite near an industrial park.

Our room was spacious and had a great balcony for hanging your treking clothes out to dry.  The rooms were no smoking, but previous guests had obviously been smoking in the bathroom.

As Lezama is a realtively small town, and dinner was included in our reservation, our host drove us into town and back for a specially prepared pilgrims' menu.  Breakfast was at the hotel and quite good as well.
