Hotel Isasi — Hotel in Gordexola

We were in town to visit family and see the area. The rooms were clean, and the staff that greeted us was very nice and welcoming. The room consisted of a queen bed and one single bed. There was a large desk and a large dresser/closet. Shower is small but clean. There is a nice sitting area right outside each room. The location is great to check out the country outside of Bilbao.

The rooms were more than adequate with a good shower and towels and comfy beds. No facilities such as coffee (it is a one star). Directly opposite was the small outside bar area which served pizza, hot dogs etc and more importantly reasonably priced cold beer. All in all this was the perfect choice for an overnight pit stop and for that reason we...

If you are looking for a quite charming place in the Basque hinterland, but still close to the coast, this is the place for you. It is easily reachable, close to a speedway from Bilbao, and set in the wonderful old garden in a small village. The service is very good & friendly and you should definitely try one of their evening menus - simple but very, very tasty. One more bonus for us: the place is...
