Standard mid-range chain hotel mainly serving bus tours and business travelers. There were no issues with comfort, quality or cleanliness. The neighborhood is not touristy at all, and up a steep hill from the centre of Bilbao. It's an enjoyable but long stroll through a characterful suburb if you're up for the exercise. If not, Santuxu metro station is 2 minutes from the hotel. The area was lively and felt safe even later at night. I didn't get far speaking English around the area, including with the hotel reception staff, so you are definitely at an advantage if you know some Spanish/Basque. The differentiating amenity is access to the Metropolitan gym below the hotel. It's an excellent, full-service upmarket gym with wellness which otherwise doesn't offer day passes. Hotel guests can buy passes from the hotel reception. Another unique highlight is the roof terrace overlooking the entire city (although it is admittedly not a particularly photogenic skyline). The rooms are spacious and stylish, but have open-plan bathrooms which narrows down the type acquaintance you might want to share a room with.

I only stayed 1 night but it was pretty good. The room was pretty basic, similar to cheaper hotels honestly. But the service and the space made the difference, everyone was rlly kind, nice and helped with anything. The only thing I didn't like was the location tho, I had to go to the Guggenheim and bc we were 3 people I had to spend a lot on public transport to get there. Personally I don't like using the car and the public transport is rlly good here but it's still rlly annoying having to use it every time you wanna go out. I also hate walking and I didnt have my bike so...

The reception desk was so friendly. Especially Jaume. I have zero complaints about the staff! My room was cleaned every night. Everyone was friendly. I have two complaints: 1) when I walked up to my floor I immediately smelled smoke 😭 2) I wish the bathrooms had space to put stuff on. I’m not used to bathrooms having no space near the sink to put makeup etc on.

Very good hotel. Clean and large rooms and bathrooms. High quality beds. Quiet place during nigth and 15 minuts far, walking, from old town center (kasko viejo). Hotel car parking available. Fitness and relax equipments available, but not tested. 200m far from the next underground station.

Very good hotel with great service. Rooms are comfortable and clean. They have multiple pillow options. Good breakfast buffet, something for everyone. Location is peaceful, about 30 minute walking distance from the center.

I stayed for a couple of nights in November and, too be fair, didn't use any of the facilities as I was out all day, so am only basing this review on the room I was allocated. The bedroom was on the...
