The hotel conveniently located close to the center, to the grocery stores, in a relatively quiet street. My room was tiny, but had a refrigerator. I think the hotel is overpriced though.

Conveniently located next to the bus station and metro, the Illunion San Mamés is an excellent hotel: modern rooms, clean, and they have the best bidet toilets on the market. I spent 11 nights there, and you can't go wrong.
