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.

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.

The hotel is situated in the heart of Bilbao, surrounded by an abundance of restaurants and bars, and conveniently close to public transport.
