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.

The building enjoys an excellent location, "on the river". It is clearly new. Maybe a bar would make it even more pleasant and a larger gym

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.
