“The croissant is awesome, one of the best so far. Would be perfect, if they can provide hair dryer. The view is amazing, and it's good place for short getaway from hectic city life.”
“***STUNNING SCENERY- FAB ACCESS TO SAN SEBASTIAN/BILBAO, GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY*** We received a warm welcome here and were looked after throughout; they responded quickly and positively to last-minute requests by email. ***ROOM*** The room wasn’t perfect, but it was as described on the website and was well enough furnished. The double bed was large and comfy. A couple of things we really appreciated travelling with a toddler was blackout blinds (automatic shutters in this case) and a very good travel cot provided by the hotel. What could have made the room a 5*? Perhaps a bit of re-plastering in an otherwise excellent shower, and perhaps a new soap dish, although a bit of wear and tear is fair enough. ***RESTAURANT*** The wine is cheap but good, and the food was excellent in our opinion. They provided high chairs and were really attentive, certainly in the evenings. We did have one morning where we turned up at 0930 to a table that wasn’t laid; again that’s the only reason for 4*. Other than that our experience was very good. Thanks for a lovely stay, we’d definitely come back. PS check out the video of the route down into town from the hotel. Wouldn’t be out of place in the Vuelta D’Espagna!”
“This review has been a long time coming. Absolutely an awesome stay at Ixua. My family and I stayed there for a few days in July and the scenary + hotel and the restaurant was amazing. The restaurant was a phenomenal representation of Spanish-basque food and everything was an absolute treat. I'm telling you the food was exquisite (at a great value for the cost) and the desserts to die for. The rooms were spacious, super clean/comfortable, and the staff super attentive. Our future trips to Spain and the Basque country will always end here at Ixua in Eibar as it was a great time to slow down and reset a bit from the hectic travel and simply enjoy the surroundings. Fantastic hosts - both owners were great and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We stayed in 3 rooms for 4 nights and everyone in my family enjoyed it very much!!! All three of our children couldn't stop having about the food and the landscape. A definite hidden gem nestled in the Basque country and I would tell you don't pass up the chance to stay at this boutique hotel and taste flavors of the country.”
“We have used this hotel twice now for a 1 night stay over to travel further in Spain. Big rooms with excellent beds. Very kind owner, super friendly. Hotel is on top of a hill with great view. The restaurant has great food. Order a steak and you won’t be disappointed! Happy to come back again next year.”
