Hotel Miro

10/10 Excellent
"This was our first time in Bilboa and we wanted to be close to the Guggenheim museum so this location was wonderful as we could also walk to other sites and restaurants and coffee shops. The staff was very helpful and friendly, the air conditioning worked very well, and our only criticism is that the breakfast is too expensive, both for the buffet and the lesser "continental" version. All in all we would recommend the hotel."
