Room types

Pensión Urkia's five categories include single and double rooms, from the 10 m² economy option to the 15 m² large double, which accommodates three people.

Some double rooms offer a choice of bed arrangements, with single beds or a large double bed.

All room types have a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Three rooms have a balcony, and several offer views of the city or a point of interest; the single room overlooks an inner courtyard and also has a patio. Some rooms include a fridge and microwave, and one economy double has tea/coffee-making facilities.
