The best feature of Hotel NH Aranzazu is its location, only 500m from Ondarreta Beach. The special weekend rates are a real bargain. It's a long rectangular stone building without balconies that was completed in 1992. The bedrooms are comfortably furnished and well equipped, although they may be too austere for people looking for more luxurious accommodations. It's worth spending some time in the friendly cafeteria as well. This is where the city's football team stays when playing home games.
When you board in this place, you don't feel like just a room number. The managers go out of their way, without pretence, to welcome you to the best conditions and never hesitate when they have time (they are very busy!) to have a friendly chat with you. They even offer, when necessary, to drive you to the thalassotherapy centre. Open since Spring 2000, it is carefully decorated and its rooms are fresh, peaceful and comfortable. Rather gastronomic, its cuisine can be adapted to any diet; every calorie in the meal will then be counted.
