Hotel Rural Matsa

Part of a Camino tour. In a really odd location within an industrial precinct. But green and quiet. Lady on reception was helpful. Train or Uber trip out to Zamudio is fine for dinner (Ubers don’t pick up from hotel … you need to walk ten mins to a pickup zone) but they do drop you back at hotel. Can buy beers at reception. No aircon in rooms.

Odd location at the edge of a business park. Clean rooms. The most basic breakfast. Was charged 5€ for a small. bag of ice. Not much to recommend.

Our camino outfitter booked us at this hotel. It is not "rural" at all. Rather, it is located in an industrial park and right next to a freeway, with large trucks driving through the area. There are no bars/restaurants nearby (you have to walk a mile or take a commuter train to get dinner or lunch), and the hotel doesn't have a restaurant or bar. There are factories, warehouses, and a broken down residential building with burning garbage nearby. One of the staff there was somewhat friendly, but the other was very curt and unfriendly. The breakfast was okay but not as good as the others we had had in similar hotels on our trip (no fruit, eggs, or yogurt were offered). The decor/vibe of the hotel is dated and strange. I would never voluntarily go back to this place. It also doesn't seem like good value for money (even though the price was included in our package).
