Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were larger than most European rooms but unfortunately smelled stale and were situated next to a service corridor, which was quite loud early. The service was generally helpful, especially when speaking Castellano, but there were instances of abruptness, like not acknowledging a requested late checkout. The location is fantastic, very close to the metro station, buses, the river, Guggenheim, main station, tram stop, park, and many restaurants. The dining options provided a good selection, with fresh fruits and coffee, although nothing extravagant. The overall value for money was decent, but some areas could use improvement.
The hotel has nice and clean rooms, very comfortable beds. The service was helpful and courteous, though reception could improve. Ideal location close to the old town and the Guggenheim museum. Dining options are a bit on the expensive side. Overall, good value for money.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the lack of natural light and noise due to poor soundproofing in the room were drawbacks, the convenient location and helpful service made my visit enjoyable overall. The enclosed view from the window was a downside, but being close to the train station and old town was a big plus.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and comfortable but a bit small and lacking adequate soundproofing for a four-star hotel. The service was a bit formal and not very welcoming, although they did help with our luggage.
The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring Bilbao, with a lovely setting near shopping areas and the metro stop. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the staff provided excellent service despite a minor issue. The dining options could be improved, but the overall experience is positive.
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were bright, spacious, and had all the necessary amenities. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the location was convenient with easy access to the old city and shopping areas. However, the dining options were a bit overpriced for what was offered.
The hotel is situated in the heart of Bilbao, surrounded by an abundance of restaurants and bars, and conveniently close to public transport. The rooms were good overall, but on the small side with a tiny elevated window causing some noise disturbances from the corridor. Despite this, the location was perfect for exploring the city.
The hotel room was a bit small and lacked natural light, but it was clean and had a good-sized bathroom with quality products. The service was a mix of unwelcoming and helpful, with luggage assistance being a positive. The location was ideal for exploring the city, close to key attractions. The dining experience was on the pricey side but offered tasty options. Facilities were decent overall.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of the city, with easy access to restaurants and bars. The rooms offer great comfort and cleanliness, although the soundproofing could be improved. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the breakfast options are convenient. However, the room size is a bit small for a four-star standard.
The hotel had some issues in the rooms, like mold in the shower tray and a missing door stop, but had some very interesting flower arrangements throughout. It offered everything we needed with comfortable twin beds and a spotlessly clean bathroom. The staff at the spacious reception hall were friendly and efficient, and breakfast was available in the restaurant area.
The hotel is situated between the old and new town areas, close to railway stations, many good cafes, and bars. The rooms are quite basic and in need of updating but offer the essential amenities. The service was somewhat grumpy, but they did accommodate room changes. The location is excellent, right in the middle of town, making it convenient for exploring Bilbao. The dining options were good, though the restaurant closure on Mondays was a slight letdown.
