In September 2010 I spent one night at this hotel, to see the U2 concert in Anoeta. When we bought the tickets, we had to find a hotel - it turned out the whole city was full, and the few hotels with free rooms weren't cheap! In the end, this was the cheapest, at 94 euros for a night. I imagine the price was because of the concert, because it seemed very expensive for the quality. Come on, I wouldn't pay more than 50 euros to spend the night here. The Hotel Monte Ulia is far removed from the centre, more than half an hour on foot. The train station is about 2km away. Yes, there's a bus stop on the street, but still.
The facade is tatty, and the rooms are pretty crappy, more the kind of thing you'd find in a guesthouse than hotel (even one with just one star). The only saving grace is that the shower has a screen door, there's a flatscreen TV, and the mattresses on the beds are comfortable. The decoration is outdated, and the room had a small balcony but there were no shutters, so light entered all night long (thank goodness it was September and not July). There's no air conditioning, just a ceiling fan. The rooms open with a numeric code provided at reception (the first time I've see this system). In short, I wouldn't go back - and especially not for the price I paid!
