"Great hotel on the edge of the city, within walking distance of the old town. BUT it is high above the town, 323 steps up/down, following the ‘Camino de Santiago’ route. Great parking above ground with more underground. Breakfast and evening meal were very good. Highly recommend."

What is a historic hotel like in Bilbao?

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
