Hotel Silken Ciudad de Vitoria
"Clean room staff and breakfast"
Ibis Budget Vitoria Gasteiz
"As we was staying the night on our way to st malo we used ibis as a stop off hotel we found the hotel clean and staff very helpful. Breakfast was good loads to choose from and cheap rooms well maintained and clean"
Holiday Inn Express Vitoria by IHG
"Plenty of free parking. The room was a good size, clean and well appointed. The breakfast had a good selection of hot and cold food and drink. The reception staff were excellent. We got to know them really well as we were staying for a week. There was a cafe / restaurant immediately opposite and reasonably priced. The hotel was named Vitoria but the town itself was a 12 / 15 minute drive away."
Limehome Vitoria Palacio Álava-Velasco
"We landed at this hotel after our VRBO fell out (confirmed reservation from VRBO, host said they rejected as full so we had to scramble). Very clean and well appointed. Price was a bit high due to the eclipse but VRBO covered the difference so it didnt matter much to us. The one challenge is that you'll def need wifi or phone service to check in (my french service wasnt cooperating). Great location and beautiful old building. Recommended!"
NH Canciller Ayala Vitoria
"Excelente en todos los aspectos"
Jardines de Uleta Suites
"Very nice place. Webm went the to see the solar eclipse and it was a very good choice."
Gran Hotel Lakua
"Building and frontage is looking a bit tired, rooms, parking and reception were fine. More of a business hotel, but easy to get a cab into town and the bus back. Breakfast was good, but the eggs were pre-cooked and cold, every day. Coffee and OJ was excellent."
