The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to key attractions like the Guggenheim museum and Bilbao's lively nightlife. The rooms are modern and well-equipped, although some may find the views less desirable. The service, while initially a bit abrupt, improves over time and overall offers excellent assistance.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though tailored for guests with dogs and at an additional fee, felt like a dog's kennel, basic, and with a not very pleasant view. On the bright side, they were modern, spacious, sleek, and comfortable.

I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and very clean, above average, but unfortunately near the elevator, leading to noise disturbances at night. The location was fantastic, close to the city center and key attractions, although it was away from the busy areas. The service was helpful in accommodating our room change to the 8th floor, but I had a disappointing dining experience due to overpricing and extra charges for breakfast.

The hotel is conveniently located near high street shops but a bit far from the old center. The room layout was unusual, with a small hallway providing some privacy, though the disco noise from next door was bothersome. The bed was comfy, but the bathroom layout was not ideal due to the bidet's position. The room was fine overall, with good bed linen.

Wow, what a spot! The hotel offers stunning views of Bilbao from the top floors. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well-equipped, although slightly tight and not the safest for babies. Despite that, they were spotless, had effective air conditioning, and the bed was just so cozy. The service was a bit of a hit and miss as some staff seemed disinterested and unfriendly, but others were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to assist us. The location was a gem, within easy reach of various attractions in Bilbao, whether by foot, tram, or Metro. Plus, plenty of parking opportunities nearby make it super convenient for drivers. Unfortunately, the dining experience was on the average side, with limited options and better choices available at nearby cafes. On the bright side, the hotel did offer a range of facilities to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
