Excellent hotel. Very quiet when you close the windows and great to see what is going on in the pedestrian areas when you open the windows. Bathroom is big!!! In the heart of the old town and literally half a block from the the Plaza Nueva where all the Pintxo bars are located and you can eat and have wine and people watch.

Nice hotel in a vibrant part of Bilbao

Very friendly receptionist and smart hotel offering ease of access to a vibrant part of Bilbao old town. There are shops, cafes and bars galore within easy walking distance from the front door. The walk along the Nervión river, just yards from the hotel, is an absolute must.

Great value and great location

Group of 8 friends using 4 rooms. Found the hotel to be very clean and in great location by river splitting old and new town. Square with restaurants/bars is 1 min away. Rooms seemed quiet despite its central location next to main road. Highly recommended.
