Hotel Ekai

“I don't want to tell everybody about this hotel I just want to keep it to myself but that wouldn't be fair. From arrival at reception l was made feel very welcome. The hotel has no public lift, but I was immediately offered help with my bags, also I received information for tourists in my own language. There is a small bar with a small dinning area for those visitors and residents who don't wish to use the main restaurant. There is a menu of the day and a further menu for the restaurant which offers a grater choice. I choose the latter and was not dissapointed. My waitress Silvia brought me a menu also a translation in English, portions are generous and the food is excellent in my opinion. My room was on the first floor with a balcony overlooking the cat park, but with wonderful views either side. The room was of average size, certainly big enough for a longer stay than I was having. Check out was easy the following morning after breakfast. My breakfast choices of cereals, yogurts, cheese's, cold meats, cold omelet bread pastry and fruits. Tea, coffee and fruit juices all buffet style, laid out in the breakfast area next to the restaurant, just help yourself if you have room for it.”

“Reception staff are very friendly and helpful. Food and bar available and so reasonably priced. Rooms quite and very clean and comfortable. Price excellent”

“Wonderful and delicious, typical Navarrian food at the road in your way between Mediterranean and Cantabric costs. Very good on place cooked dishes for a very reasonable price.”

“A hotel by the roadside with a simple menu for €15.50 each for 3 courses, wine, bread and water. Coffee extra. Mixed salad and a veg puree soup and 3rd was a puff pastry starter with cheese and spinach was interesting and different. Two mains we had were lambs liver with onions, very nice and peppers stuffed with fish, also well received. We all had rice pud for dessert as it's always a winner”

“Remotely located, but it benefits from majestic views as a result. Spacious bedroom and bathroom with a good sized desk. The view from the bedroom window was really wonderful. To wake up and see the horses grazing with a stunning background was a marvel. Prices are reasonable as there isn’t a lot of competition around. Can be hard getting decent hot food before 8pm, which isn’t ideal if you want an early night and start in the morning. Interesting old Spanish style decor adds to the hotels charm.”

“While it feels like the middle of nowhere, it is a gem of a place. Hot showers and a bath, clean, and super friendly staff meant we could feel comfortable during our stay. We used the additional lounge area as well for some quiet drinks.”

“We didn’t stay at the hotel but had a lunch stop. It was on the 15th of August and it seemed very busy from the road. But we took our chance. Busy it was and we managed to have a table for the two of us. The menu of the day was very tempting nevertheless we only had two simple dishes (combinados) and some drinks. Efficient friendly service. Simple but tasty food. Biiiiiig portions.”
