Room was small but that was exactly what I selected. Bathroom was spacious enough, bright, clean and the towels were thick & huge. Location is so convenient to walk everywhere and staff were responsive & very helpful
This is my new favorite place to stay in good old Bilbao. Perfect location, historic yet solid and well maintained interior, spacious rooms, beautiful breakfast in the loft under big old wooden beams, friendly and efficient front desk, good communication, …

This hotel is in a perfect location in central
Bilbao. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was a good size with a luxury bathroom. The icing on the cake was that the staff arranged for some Cava t be left in the room for my partner’s birthday which was a lovely surprise.
Definitely recommend this hotel and will return when we next visit beautiful Bilbao!
I've stayed total of over a month in this hotel. Location is great. Some first floor rooms are noisy due to people walking behind your door all the time Doors don't block much noise and there is a gap under the door...
Perfectly situated historic hotel in the historic part of Bilbao. Absolutely loved it. We'll stay again. It's very conveniently located for our purposes, with a great staff.
Nadia at front desk was incredibly kind, helpful, knowledgeable and insightful!
She recommended lots of itineraries and great restaurants. Highly recommended.
Our experience here by far is the best during this trip. Can't say enough good things about this place. We will definitely miss it. Wish we could change plans and just extend our stay. Perhaps next time we will come and stay here again. Can't beat this location. Plus complimentary luggage storage. Other hotels charge for this.
The hotel was positioned perfectly in bilbao. The whole area is walkable .
The staff at this hotel are excellent and in particular Nadia on the front desk who was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. I would highly recommend!
