"I stayed at this hotel for a wedding. I made the reservation on the phone and they didn't explain well what time I got into my room. I arrived before 14:00 and my room was not ready but when it was a wedding they made exception and assigned me another room. at the reception were very friendly and immediately solved the problem. you can register at any time (the day of your check-in) but you do not have the room available until 14:00. is paid upon arrival, which expedited my departure, although they were attending someone else who could leave the keys at reception and leave. As for the room, it was very spacious and you could see the suites that are also very spacious, beautiful and with views. It is not a modern hotel, but has all the amenities, it is clean and the bed is very comfortable. It is also in the center of durango, in 5 minutes you reach everywhere. location could not be better."

"We enjoyed one of the finest meals we have ever had in this hidden gem of a restaurant tucked in the unassuming town of Berriz. The hordes of gastronauts may be clamoring towards the hills of Axpe and I encourage them to do so as I will relaxingly dig into the classic “jatetxea” fare at Pedro Juan. This bistro revolves around embracing it’s patrons as family and we were warmly greeted by their exceedingly professional staff there. We started off with a memorable yet simple salad topped with local “hongos,” followed by ridiculously fresh “almejas” swimming in a classic olive oil, garlic, and red pepper sauce. Since we could not decide between the “rodaballo” fish and their (in)famous “txuleta,” our receptive waitress expressed a sign of being impressed as we ordered both items. There were zero regrets as both were magnificent: the freshness of the local fish shone through in a classic Basque “pil pil” emulsion and the txuleta a la brasa was masterfully executed. Smoky, expertly seared rare, perfectly seasoned: this unforgettable main dish is a must. I conclude this genuine review with an appreciation for the variety of both the dessert (we opted for the brilliant chocolate mousse cake) and wine list (local vintages including txakoli) as they complement the jatetxea menu offerings perfectly. Bravo, Pedro Juan: we will undoubtedly be back."

"Gran comida la que tuvimos en este restaurante. Comimos de menú fin de semana, 39€ por persona, y nos gustaron tanto la calidad colo la cantidad de las raciones; todo muy acertado. • El pulpo a la brasa, exquisito. • Las almejas, bien de sabor, aunque con salsa algo líquida. Eso sí mejorable. • El rodaballo, muy rico, junto con patatas al horno, pimientos y ajos. • La chuleta nos la trajeron demasiado hecha, lo dijimos y nos la cambiaron por otra. Buen gesto. • Los postres, caseros y de buen tamaño. Dos botellas de crianza y dos botellas de agua. Por ese precio y esas calidades, poco más se puede pedir. Salimos muy contentos, es un sitio al que volveríamos con gusto."

"We ate the men weekend (27 to be able to book a table for a group of about 10 people, outside and under the aterpe. there is car parking and outside there are enough tables and large stretch of lawn. the burgers, snacks, burritos and rations that we saw pass have very good looks. the next time we'll delight in some of that, even if you can't book"
