Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel's rooms are a bit small and could use a better soundproofing solution, but they offer a standard experience with clean and comfortable beds, a modern bathroom, and some minor issues like a broken tile. The air circulation might need some improvement during hotter days. The staff's service varies from being unaccommodating to helpful and accommodating, offering various services like room service and tours. The location is excellent, providing easy access to major attractions in Bilbao. The dining options have room for improvement, although they offer satisfactory meals. Overall, the facilities are decent.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were super clean and furnished beautifully, making it a great choice for travelers with pets or babies. The view of the street and river from my room was just terrific, and the room itself was incredibly comfortable. However, the noise from the busy Campo de Volantin street was a minor downside. The service was exceptional with staff going above and beyond to meet all our needs. The hotel's unbeatable location between the Guggenheim and Casco Viejo was incredibly convenient and made exploring the city a breeze.
The hotel offers decently sized rooms with good air conditioning and modern bathrooms, although there was noise disturbance from neighboring parties. The stunning views of Bilbao's Ria enhance the experience. The service was courteous but lacked a warmer touch. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the old town and close to many attractions. The dining options were satisfactory but slightly overpriced. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.

The dining options were comprehensive and included some local specialties, but were rated average to good. Overall, a great value for money stay.
The hotel is ideally located across the river from the Guggenheim, making it perfect for exploring Bilbao. The rooms were generally quiet but a late-night disturbance affected my sleep. The dining experience was basic, not meeting expectations, but the service was friendly and the location was exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were great, a decent size, and overlooked the river, although they could use an update. The service was superb with staff informing us about free street parking and being friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, right by the river between the Guggenheim and the old town.

The service was generally lovely and helpful, except for one minor incident. The dining options were varied but not to my taste. Overall, a convenient choice for exploring Bilbao.
The hotel is cozy and clean, with comfortable beds and a modern bathroom, although there was a broken tile at the entrance. The room temperature was a bit high for my liking throughout the night, but the shower was fantastic and having a coffee brewer was a nice touch.
The hotel has a pretty standard room with clean and comfy beds, a modern bathroom, and nothing extra-special. However, there was a broken tile at the bathroom entrance. It needed more and lower hooks. The location is excellent for sightseeing, with easy access to the old town, Guggenheim Museum, and various dining spots. The service was friendly and helpful, with caring staff. The dining experience was good but somewhat pricey. The hotel lacks teapots for morning tea enthusiasts, and the breakfast service ends quite early. The view over the river is lovely, but there was a minor issue with AC condensation. However, being close to both the old city center and Guggenheim Museum is convenient.
The hotel had beautiful rooms, though not completely separated as expected, but still offered a comfortable stay. The lack of air conditioning was a downside, especially with a 2-hour wait for it to kick in.
