Very central hotel. No elevator access to top floor, seems like they give those to hotel booking sites. They allowed us to change as seniors don't want to haul luggage up the final floor.

Hotel is in a great location with lots of dining and shopping options. Parking garage is relatively close. The issues I had were….the AC in my room didn’t work and the guy at the front desk even restarted it but it still didn’t work, there is no AC in the breakfast room and it was miserably hot, the breakfast is average and the key card to our room stopped working a couple of times. Discounted parking garage is 18 euros.

Perfect Bilbao hotel!
Super location, right at the old town. Lovely room, comfy bed and a decent breakfast. Coffee at breakfast wasn’t great - everything was black even if you asked for milk in the machine. But a minor point. Breakfast offering was plentiful and tasty. Location, location, location were all that mattered here and that was perfect. Guggenheim was a 20 min walk along the river, metro was nearby. Lots of food options nearby in a vibrant and safe area. Taxi rank outside, and airport just 20 mins by taxi. Staff friendly and helpful.

Good location but.....
Strange layout of room for 7 nights. No dresser or drawers of any kind. We were not informed of having to book a breakfast time. (This was rather unusual and unnecessary as the breakfast room was large enough to accomodate most of the guests at the same time). Pleasant front desk staff. Good location. Very poor lighting in both room and bathroom.

Good Hotel in Fantastic Location
Fantastic location. Just across the river from the train station, with a taxi rank 10m away, 1.5Km around the river bank to the Guggenheim museum, literally hundreds of cafes / restaurants / bars within the old old town, and a 'corner shop' next door for the snacks on the way home! Cleanliness of hotel was fantastic, but air conditioning needs attention to make it more efficient. Breakfast was fine, but would have liked more 'local' options. Overall I would use this hotel again.
