“Perfect for visiting Bilbao and all of its sights”

This is a lovely hotel with really helpful reception staff who speak good English. We had a room overlooking the river which was probably the best location. At the front there are building works just now but it does face Atletico Bilbao football stadium so if you're a fan it's probaly ideal! It would be hard to find any hotel in Bilbao that isn't close to building works. There is excellent soundproofing and they've got blackout blinds, which we appreciated. It's about 5 minutes from the Guggenheim via the river walk. The terrace cafe was really nice and had mostly helpful staff. Coffee was good and cheap.

“Excellent value for money and clean”

The room was clean and a good size, the hotel staff were nice and helpful. It is two blocks from the Bus station (Termibus) where you can take a bus to the airport, there are metro and tram stations nearby. It is also a nice walk from the hotel to the Guggenheim Museum. In general very pleased with the hotel.

“Very nice hotel”

The hotel and service is very nice even though the surroundings are not as cute.

“Great hotel”

This hotel was clean, comfortable and in a neighborhood with lots of restaurants. Bilbao was very hot and the air conditioning in our room provided a wonderful respite from the heat. Breakfast was outstanding. Staff was courteous and helpful.

“Value for money luxury”

The hotel is slightly upmarket compared to the area that it is in, across the road from the football stadium. A march had just finised when we came back one night but it was not a problem, the street cleaners had the area spotless by the next morning. You can easily walk to the Metro, the main coach station and into the town. We did the Guggenheim and a city walk one day then Santurtzi, the Portulgate Travelling Bridge and Getzo the next. The Funicular is absolutely amazing and for less than a euro well worth the trip for the view alone. The breakfast will set you up for the day so definately worth including in your booking. When the description says riverside it should add that the river is about 50m down from the level of the hotel. Our room was at the front, ovelooking the stadium but I guess the views out of the back must be stunning.

“do not miss Gugenheim special”

The hotel rooms need renovation especiall bathroom. Pillows are also too old. Compare with other Hesperia I have been, this one is rather old. Nevertheless the lobby is spacious and looks cosy.
