Hotel Palacio Muñatones

BATHROOM . VERY GOOD SHOWER.

THE OIL REFINERY NEARBY

Lovely position for the ferry home to Ireland and a really lovely beach & bars just down the road. At first we were amazed at the huge petrol refinery next door but it didn’t take from our stay and the convenience of being 10 minutes from the ferry vs hotels in Bilbao and 20kM of potential traffic make this place somewhere we’ll use again for sure.

Excellent location short drive to ferry terminal. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Room was spotless. Breakfast was excellent good choice of meats and cheese and rolls.

Nothing not to like

The bed was comfortable and the room was new and clean, with air con.

Really loud noise from the oil refinery standing right outside the window from the newly built annex rooms, where we stayed. The refinery works all night and the machinery noise can be heard loudly inside the room even with closed windows. We used ear plugs and the noise could even be heard through them. When we walked in at night and realised how loud it was, we looked at each other in disbelief: 130 euros for that! Moreover we were given the keys to the wrong room on arrival, so we walked into someone else's room with our stuff, which the people staying there were really annoyed about. The owner told me off for having walked in when in front of the other guests (!!) and apologised when she was alone with us. The worst value for money hotel we have stayed in. Bonus info: they told us they don't make any food since the pandemic, so the pictures showing the restaurant are misleading.
