Sanctuary of Arantzazu

easy check in despite no reception at point of arrival, good room, only snag was not enough plugs: one euro & one American plug by the bed not helpful for euro travellers as do not carry a US plug so charging awkward. otherwise perfect stay

Missing a trash can in the room

Very convenient central location only about 9min walk from bus and train station. Beach close by. There is a lift but it only goes to between floors so you will always need to climb some steps. Reception is on 3rd floor so best to leave luggage on first floor until you know which floor your apartment is. Our apartment did not have the advertised microwave but we were allowed to use the one in the shared kitchen next to our room. The hallway had plenty of supplies of tea, sugar, coffee and biscuits. Staff were very helpful. There are no laundry facilities but there is a laundromat not far away. The beach near by did not seem to have chairs and parasol hire but we later discovered that if you go left along the beach there are pergolas with covers that you can hire.
