Villasana de Mena Hotels

"Despite turning up in biker gear I was welcomed warmly by the lady on reception. The breakfast options were explained and I went to the room. The room was clean and had a good array of bits and pieces, 2 small waters, dental care kit etc, a hairdryer with additional bits I don’t know the use for being A; male and B; bald. The towels were nicely folded in a way I hadn’t seen before. The shower was huge and the bed comfortable. The one thing I would say is u could hear the neighbours through the shower wall, a problem solved by closing the bathroom door. The main door has a security or some kind of mechanism that makes it impossible to close the door silently at night, (or any time). Breakfast was simple, hot drink a large slice of toast, and a huge glass of orange juice. Overall a nice hotel in a lovely part of the country with several dining options within 5-10mins drive and a nice old church across the road, unfortunately no longer in use by the looks of it. Recommend. "

"Great staff!"

"While the hotel is a bit on the outskirts of the town, it is an easy walk to the beach and the waterfront for restaurants and the views. The hotel itself feels new."

"Atmospheric quirky hotel. Retains convent feel. Nice staff; good restaurant at night. Note it doesn’t do breakfast but good cafe nearby. No reception before noon. Good base for Bilbao - on commuter line to central station , one hour trip with regular trains ."

"Amazing stay, the building has a charm worth experiencing. Hotels.com should update the Google maps link, as when selecting the directions using the app sent us to a farm in the middle of nowhere 10miles away from the property"

"Beautiful peaceful location with fabulous views. Fresh clean air. Beautiful property. Very relaxed atmosphere and was made very welcome by the host who looked after us so well. Delicious fresh food. Highly recommend."

"Scenic location with very friendly staff. Excellent food and drink at the restaurant which was great value. View from the pool is incredible. The most perfect quiet stay in the mountains."

"Very good spacious rooms with jacuzzi. staff very helpful. We were coming late after working hours in reception and we got video recorded specially for us how to access our room. Very good "

"Fabulous place in a lovely location. We had a brilliant stay and the hotel could not do enough to help us. They allowed us to check out a couple of hours later as we had struggled to get transport back from Bilbao, they also made us packed lunch (for a small fee) on departure even though the restaurant was closed. Couldn't recommend enough"
