Find Hotels in Vera de Bidasoa

I spent two nights here and received excellent support as I was recovering from very bad food poisoning from a nearby restaurant. The staff was quick to check on me regularly (I was alone) and made sure the doctor was able to contact me. They allowed me to get into a room before check-in time as I was barely able to stand up by the time I got there (after a visit to ER to get some medicine). Someone else (my breakfast mate that day) on a parallel tour woke up covered with bed bug bites while I was free from having any. When she showed the front staff all of her bites, they basically ignored her. Not a good sign. I feel ambivalent about this as I was treated very well, my room was clean, quiet, and spared of any bugs. She had a completely different experience. Breakfast was your typical European choice of breads, jams, cheeses, juices, yogurts, etc. I was too sick to eat but was at least able to drink a bit to stay hydrated. I loved the old feel of the place and had a good experience with the staff but I’m not sure I’d go back considering the problem with bed bugs.

Excellent hotel for a pit stop. Food was delicious rooms very comfortable really good value for money. We’re a bunch of bikers en-route around Northern Spain and this hotel was a perfect location for the ride to the Pyrenees. Only 3’30” from Santander ferry so far enough to break the back of the journey but not too far that you can spend an enjoyable evening of food and beer 😀 Would certainly recommend

The building itself was amazing with all that one might expect from a medieval castle, and the location on the Plaza de Armas is perfect. However, you could say the same for many of the Paradors, and they don't have the huge excess charge over the normal Parador rate (plus a rather cheeky extra €20 per day parking fee) . The rooms weren’t as large as would be expected and were a bit tired, with scuffed furniture and paintwork, and incidentally the bath would not drain (I had to jam a coin into the plug hole to allow the water to drain away...slowly). On the other hand, the view from the window overlooking the Bidasoa Estuary was magnificent, and the breakfast was probably the best we had in our visit to the Pais Vasco.

We have stayed at Ibis Irun many times, although not for a few years. Its ideally placed, near to the toll motorway and is perfect for travellers either going North into France or South further into Spain. Its not near the town, but if all you want is a bed for the night its clean & comfy, food in the restaurant was reasonable, there is a secure gated surface car park and they accept dogs. However, on this occasion there are some issues, I want to raise. The hotel is currently housing several families of Ukranian refugees and whilst we applaud the Spanish governments reponse to the refugee crisis and Accor Hotel's help with this, I do not think that unruly, unsupervised children should be allowed to play on bicycles & scooters in the public lounge (which is not very large) when weary travellers are trying to relax with a drink. The outside terrace was similarly not a place to relax with some of the older children playing loud music on mobile phones. We had driven a long way that day to reach Ibis Irun and relaxation was simply not possible. I would also point out that allowing very small unsupervised children to play in the carpark was extremely dangerous for them and a couple of times there was some very near misses with cars coming in and not expecting to encounter small children in their way.

The hotel is well situated with lots of bars and restaurants around. Our room was very comfortable and clean. For the price the breakfast was disappointing. We would have expected a selection of peeled and cut up fresh fruit and a kitchen which cooked eggs freshly to order. In all the other hotels we stayed in during our trip in Spain a choice of eggs was available as were platters of fruit.

The location is good if you have a car, is not close (walking distance) to the city, but at the same time really good location. Service is just fantastic, everyone was nice with us and welling to help if we asked for something. the Snack bar (cafeteria) staff is the best of the best, as well as the housekeeping staff. The only bad thing was the AC, we have no idea if it was ”warm” because the new ordinance or because something else, but unfortunately the hotel's location is so close to a highway, the room was quiet and good, but we try to sleep a little bit cooler, and with the window open was just imposible
