Great location to visit Bilbao. Riverfront and across from the Old Quarter. Walking distance to all the Pinxtos bars. 1 mile from the Guggenheim Museum, but the cable car is across the street. Breakfast is really good with Cava being poured. The gym is better than most hotels with free weights and pulley machine. The gym has its own shower and bathroom. Overall, great stay and location.

Nice hotel close to old town

The staff were amazing and the hotel very nice, close to old town. My only 2 negatives were the breakfast wasn't great - eggs were very wet / inedible and selection not very good, and the bathroom design is really weird, so you can see your partner showering / hear them using the toilet (no door!), which gives lack of privacy. Otherwise a pleasant stay.
