"The city's hottest boutique hotel, this 25-room property occupies a renovated 19th-century villa that's been designated a historic landmark."

"In contrast to the more formal lounge, winter garden, and bar, the 25 rooms are low-key beauties, done in muted colors, with modern pieces by local artists."

"In a city where even the most luxurious accommodations tend toward the dowdy, Villa Soro offers a much-needed dose of modern luxury."

Rough Guide
"This welcoming nine-room pensión stands in a relatively quiet location close to the main train station, Zurriola beach, and old town. All rooms are newly and brightly decorated... En-suite facilities."

For maximum peace, opt for an “interior” room, though those facing out are equipped with balconies (and cost a few euros more).

"The owners of this excellent pensión read the rule book on what makes a good hotel and have complied exactly... For our money, we’d say this one is very hard to beat."
