Reviews based on Location
I would have given them 5 stars if heating system had worked correctly. As you know, the weather in Bilbao is so cold and windy. They should have turned on the heater anytime. Other than that, this hotel is so nice and clean, location is fantastic!
We stayed in this hotel for five nights 20-25th September).It is absolutely fantastic. The hotel is beautiful and in a perfect location for the Guggenheim and nearby trams for travel . The staff were so kind and caring. They did everything they could to make our stay so memorable and wonderful. Everyone worked so hard and was so helpful caring and kind. The rooms were immaculate, so clean and the breakfast was delicious We also ate in the hotel restaurant which was so good. The best ever. Next time we will chose a better room as the room was quite dark with only a small side window which was not very nice. We were so sad to leave but will return soon. Bilbao is a beautiful city and the hotel is one we will never ever forget. Thank you for such a beautiful memory .
