Wonderful hotel
Fantastic hotel! The room was beautiful and clean, the staff were helpful and friendly. Great proximity to the old town, the market, restaurants, and public transportation. Roof top pool and bar was excellent - would definitely recommend!

I’m could not fault the hotel. Beautiful rooms, friendly and very helpful staff, perfect location for exploring Bilbao. Old Town just across the bridge and then only a 5-10 minute walk to the main shopping area. Couldn’t be more perfect. Will definitely stay again.

The hotel was exceptional. The breakfast buffet was incomparable to anything but the Paradors where we have stayed in the past. The location is convenient beyond expectations for its proximity to the old city. Thsi hotel is to be recommended unhesitatingly.

Lovely new hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The only downside was the toilet in the room. There is a gap all around the door so no sound privacy should you need to go to the loo and your partner is in the room.

Lovely place to stay and amazing staff. Poor soundproofing on rooms - we were able to hear an awful lot of the goings on of other guests.

New and clean but would not stay again
Room was new and clean
However the room design is a bit odd. Bathroom has no door (a curtain), shower has a see through glass (no privacy), and shower area shape makes it too large, wasting space and making the rest of the room too small.
Bed was quite uncomfortable - even if new - and so were the pillows (both me and my wife woke up sore)
Location is central and easy to walk to the old town, but the neighbourhood and area where the hotel actually is (and behind the hotel) made us feel quite unsafe (to the point we took Ubers rather than walking a few times).

10 star hotel!
If I could give this hotel 10 stars, I would! It was amazing! The room was spacious and very comfortable. The hotel and room were very clean and everything was so new and fresh.
The staff were very friendly and allowed us to check in early which was really appreciated.
It's in a very convenient location, close to the market and walking distance to lots of the sites, bars and restaurants.

There is no nearby parking garage
Parking was far away and a challenging drive to reach! The hotel was very nice but some small things…there is no place in the bathroom for counter space. It is weird that a new hotel would be designed that way. Other than the parking it was a very nice stay!
