I would definitely rate this a 4 star review as a 1 star hotel. I was very apprehensive staying here after reading bad reviews here on TripAdvisor. However I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is in a great location in terms of the town itself and if on the Camino (as my friend and I are). The hotel room was clean and there was a kettle with tea and coffee which was a nice bonus as not many hotels in Spain or the Basque country offer this. The beds were clean, towels were clean and the shower was perfect after a long day hiking. There were also additional toilets outside the hotel room. We could open the window no problem and close the curtains. For a one star I really can't find much fault. Would recommend to anyone.

“Great place when on the Camino”

Walking the Camino del Norte - arrived here and the staff at Bolina were really amazing, Ana and her husband in particular - warm welcome, nothing too much trouble, really great food and drink - great location for visiting the Peace Museum, Tree of Gernika and the Picasso Street-art replica. The hotel rooms are clean, though could do a makeover (and there's no lift). However, if you want a small, friendly, town-centre hotel for a night when walking the Camino, this is fabulous.

“Good Enough for One Night”

I stayed 1 night at the Bolina while walking the Camino de Santiago. The hotel is in a prime location just half a block off the Camino in the old city and at this time check in is through the hotel's bar. There is no lift and sleeping rooms are on 3 floors up stairs.

I stayed 1 night at the Bolina while walking the Camino de Santiago. The hotel is in a prime location just half a block off the Camino in the old city and at this time check in is through the hotel's bar. There is no lift and sleeping rooms are on 3 floors up stairs. My room was small and the bathroom was tiny but they had all that I needed for 1 night. There was a big comfortable bed and a stand that worked to hold my open bag. A small desk at the end of the bed made for a tight fit and required squeezing past on an angle which gives an idea of the room size. Everything was acceptably clean if not pristine scrubbed. This is an older hotel with a bit of rust and general scruffiness. My room was very light with afternoon sun. The wifi is bad, coming and going in all parts of the building including the room and the bar. The hotel bar is very popular and busy with nice and helpful staff, good pintxos and outdoor as well as indoor seating. My room was at the back of the building and did not get any noise from downstairs but I could hear other guests on the landing - and the Spanish can be very noisy. Hotel Bolina is a reasonable place to stay for a night if you don't have extravagant expectations and it is wonderfully convenient for access to the Camino.
