"This was a beautiful hotel in the heart of Bilbao! Right on the water and across from the Guggenheim. It was an instant wow when we walked in, and the staff was amazing! The terrace is gorgeous with great food and wine. Definitely worth every penny and we would highly recommend!"

"Great staff"

"The staff was friendly and sometimes have helpful, depending on who you would get. The self parking garage is pretty tight, so don’t take a big car in there. The hotel is central to the south part of the city, which is useful depending on where you’re going. This is kind of an odd duck hotel because I think it’s ready to four-star, but it could really easily be a three star and it’s definitely not a five star. The rooms are definitely outdated, but not inconvenient or dirty. The shower is really good, which is a huge plus. I wouldn’t stay there again and I try a different hotel in the city, but it’s not terrible for the price."

"Great staff! Very professional, overall a great place to stay."

"Great location, great staff . Rooms are small but adequate. 2nd time we stayed there. And would stay again. Great restaurants on same block. Public parking right across street. 👍"

"Roof terrace is useless and staff not very helpful."

"We love everything about the hotel, location, big room, nice and clean. The bathroom is good size... Next time we would choose same hotel."

"Very poor welcome at reception. The man didn't even smile or greet me, just asked 'do I have a reservation'. Room was too warm and the air conditioning didn't cool the room down sufficiently, couldn't sleep properly. I drank the complimentary coffee, didn't get replenished so had no hot drink in my room for the remainder of my stay."

"When we checked in we made sure to book a shuttle for our early flight with the nice young man who checked us in (the main reason we chose this hotel). Also we were told we could buy a coffee at that time. When we arrived in the lobby at 4:45am, the young man on the desk said we were not booked on the shuttle and we could not have coffee. We were panicking we would miss our flight. I politely told him we 100% booked a shuttle and said it was very important we got on it. He wasn’t happy and made no attempt to communicate with us about solving the problem. The girl driving the shuttle bus said for us to load on it. Miscommunication between evening and morning staff and morning man made no attempt to be helpful or kind or problem solve with us. He acted like we were the problem and just didn’t book it. "
