HOTELA M&UGA
We stayed for three nights in the Basque Country town of Elorrio. The Town stands out for its unique medieval and modern heritage. In 1964, it was declared a Medieval Heritage Site. It is set in a green valley with the river Zumelegi running down its centre.

It is a delightful walk through the streets of palaces and ancestral houses, built of stone and carved masonry from the 17th and 18th centuries.

We chose to stay in the M&UGA Hotela.

The hotel is a minute's walk to the Plazako Bizikleta-aparkalekuak (Gernikako Arbola Square).

The elegant basilica of La Purísima Concepción (Sortzez Garbiaren Eliza) and the Town Hall are at the heart of the Town.

The ever-friendly and helpful duo of Niko Moreno and Maider Ugarriza hosts the hotel. The hotel's name is taken from the first letter of Niko's surname, M, and the first three letters of Maider's surname, UGA, hence M&UGA!

The hotel features a shared lounge.


A terrace, a breakfast area, and a garden.
The two-star hotel has eleven air-conditioned twin rooms,

or double rooms with free Wi-Fi,

each with a private bathroom.

The breakfast room.


Niko and Maider will organise anything you need.

We needed a seven-seat taxi, which they arranged for us to take us to various destinations and restaurants whilst we were there.
There are restaurants and bars throughout the Town.

We had a fantastic three days here, with wonderful hosts who could not do enough for us. The Hotela M&UGA is highly recommended.
