Silken Gran Hotel Domine Bilbao  

Excellent but very expensive food and wonderful view of the Guggenheim Museum across the street. Comfortable room. Friendly helpful staff. They turn off the AC in late fall and the day was warm so the room temp was hot at night. Be careful with the special sample meal for two as it reads 85 euros, but it means 85 euros per person. Shocker, but the meal was one of the best we have ever had. Close to the tram line to get to buses and public transportation. Beautiful city and not the expected industrial city we read about. Guggenheim is very modern art oriented, so if your taste isn't into abstract just go and enjoy the wonderful architecture of the building itself. Right on the scenic river with great places to walk and stop for coffee.

The hotel is excellent and located just in front of the Guggenheim Museum. The room was spacious and everything was properly cleaned. The staff is very nice and helpful. The breakfast was very good, with lots of variery, including dietary items.

Wonderful designer hotel. Great location opposite the Guggenheim and walking distance to old city. Restaurant very good

The breakfast room overlooking the Guggenheim was amazing. The breakfast menu and spread was excellent.

The location of this hotel cannot be matched in Bilbao. My room overlooks the Guggenheim. The rooms were very well laid out and the size was right. I will stay here again when I return.

This is a modern design hotel that is next door to the beautiful Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The room was extremely spacious, beautiful bath, great terrace with a view over the museum and the river. Great buffet breakfast on the 7th floor open air terrace. Staff extremely helpful. The hotel is particularly good for a city break if you are intended to visit the museum (which was the purpose of our trip; we only stayed for one day); the city centre is about 15 minutes walk on the embankment. Great experience and perfect value for money.

The location is simply unbelievable. Having breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Guggenheim Museum is a priceless experience. The interiors of the hotel have nice design and the rooms are very big.

Although the room was very big and confortable, it had no external light. There was only a small window facing the internal lobby. From the room you could not understand if it was raining or sunny, and it was necessary to use artuificial light all day long.

Great hotel, great location

Excellent design, good atmosphere and service. Very pleasant stay.

The spa area is something of a joke. Too small, insufficiently equipped.

Everything was immaculate and amazing--very much one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Highly recommend booking one of the pricier rooms overlooking the museum. The restaurant is phenominal. A really lovely experience all around.

Interesting decor, excellent service

Service levels are amazingly poor, we were given rooms without functioning a/c, switched several times to hot and humid rooms, and told that they did not have a technician available until the next week! We were then downgraded to a room without a view (against our request) because it was the only one available with a/C.

A late night drink on the roof terrace overlooking the Guggenheim. A stunning design hotel, with clean comfortable bedrooms. Excellent service, even arranged for hairdressing appointment - and was collected from the hotel.

The cafe on the ground floor was very clinical in design and expensive for quite bland food.

Staff were very helpful and polite. The hotel itself would appeal to anyone who has a taste for modern design and its location is also spot on - just opposite the Guggenheim museum, allowing easy pedestrian access to anywhere in the city centre.
