    Seemed like reception and room service didn't really have a good handover. We had to call twice for an iron. Also, we ordered pizza and didn't get notified when it was delivered (even though we had given the reception a heads-up)

    Stylish hotel with a good location

    Didn't have breakfast there as it was a little pricey - much better tea and toast in a café nearby

    Very pleasant stay,near the Guggenheim and within walking distance of the old part.The room and bathroom were nice and big too! Would go again and next time,with my swimming suit to use the pool!!

    ENJOYABLE STAY IN A COMFORTABLE ROOM, IN A WELL LOCATED HOTEL.
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Premium Double Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    THE STAFF IN THE BREAKFAST AREA DIDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH (WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS) AND WE HAD A COMMUNICATION ISSUE FOR ANY REQUEST OUT OF THE SELF-SERVICE BUFFET. F.I. ORDERING EGGS WAS DIFFICULT AND TIME CONSUMING. THE ROOM WAS VERY COMFORTABLE BUT THE AGEING OF THE BUILDING WAS EVIDENT.

    WE'VE BOOKED A PREMIUM ROOM, RIVER/STREET VIEW, VERY COMFORTABLE, INCL. A LARGE BATHROOM. THE VIEW WAS SUPERB. BED SIZE AND QUALITY EXCELLENT. BREAKFAST BUFFET GREAT BOTH IN TERMS OF QUALITY AND VARIETY! VERY FRIENDLY STAFF IN THE FRONT DESK! LOCATION WAS ALSO GREAT, FEW MINUTES WALKING DISTANCE FROM A TRAM STATION AND ONE TRAM STATION AWAY FROM THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM.

    1980s style and very nice interior arhitecture are distincitive. Breakfast is one of the best I have ever had in an affordable 5*. The heated outdoor pool is nice to get some morning energy or relax after working hours.

    Not a great start to our holiday in Bilbao
    • Leisure trip

    • Double Room (King-size Bed)
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Our 2nd floor rooms overlooked a park which was hosting a rock concert on the first evening. We requested a room change, as we had not ordered a rock concert blasting at us. The staff were hostile and said they had only twin rooms, or we could pay for an upgrade. I immediately reacted against this, and eventually one of us was offered another room which we accepted - but this also overlooked the rock concert. Also, my friend was given the key to a room on arrival which actually contained other guests - very embarrassing. The receptionist had made a very unfortunate error.

    We loved the location, food and views, but the lighting was sadly insufficient.

    • Stayed 9 nights

    The lighting in the room was horrible. To dark to put makeup on in one of the bathrooms in our suite and too dark to sit at the table to read. One reading lamp by the bed, and one tall lamp in the living room. I would not stay here again until I knew I had access to more light. The lamps on the walls and in ceiling were too dim.

    Liked the breakfast but would have liked more veggies. Food and service were excellent. Room was large with great views and location was perfect.

    Windows a bit drafty. Some of the interior in need of TLC for a 5 star hotel.

    Very comfortable hotel in a great location. A very calm interior and good facilities. We arrived early so we were offered a room which met more our needs and that we use straight away. Breakfast offering very good.
