Ziordia Hotels from S$68

"Hotel IJ is a gem of a property deep in Basque country. Set in a gorgeous rural environment atop a small village and surrounded by hills and farms, it is the perfect country getaway. The building is as stunning as the photographs and the rooms have an elegant\ vintage charm to them. Regarding food, breakfast was our favourite meal with dinners at the cafe being little underwhelming. We never got a chance to try the fine dining option. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. I want to put a special mention and appreciation for some front desk staff members who went above and beyond to assist me with a concern with my car rental. I was treated unprofessionally by Avis with a car breakdown but the staff helped me with the language barrier and service concern in a foreign country and I really want to thank them for that and look forward to visiting again.

"Great place to stay. Pleasant staff and decent restaurant "

"We stayed here when we had a rental car and wanted to explore the Basque area of Spain. We did day trips to Bilbao, San Sebastián and Pamplona. The Parador is in a beautiful setting and the room was very comfortable. We did all our eating and shopping during our day trips so the Parador was a quiet, country setting to relax. We did eat breakfast at the Parador but no other meals. Breakfast was good - very typical Spanish style hotel breakfast. "

"Good location and friendly service. "

"The hotel and its sister restaurant are well designed conversions of an old building. Both are clean and efficiently run, located in an old square in the middle of the old town. There are many restaurants and bars within a short walking distance. The town is charming and the people friendly. Although the reception is not occupied the whole day, the message sent before arrival gives details for access and parking (both therefore dealing with criticisms raised in prior comments). Rooms are of a decent size, ours was at the back, quiet and comfortable. The town at a weekend with its market was lively and interesting. Loved it!"

"Very welcoming host Marcos, made me feel at ease and offered help in any way needed. Room was a fair size and en-suite suitable. Breakfast was substantial. Will return when in the region."

"The nature surrounding is stunning"

"Modern conversion of an old large barn, with attached restaurant."

"The staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and we had air conditioning. "
