    Can’t fault it.

    Welcoming staff, quiet, relaxing and comfortable. Loved our upgrade to a suite. Location was superb. Felt very well looked after and loved the Diptyque goodies in the bathroom. Gorgeous rooftop terrace.

    Was a bit disappointed to be ignored by the waiting staff on the roof terrace when we went there for a pre dinner drink.

    Couldn’t be in a better location. It smells devine. Room very comfortable

    A home away from home. Eder Romay, the hotel's manager, personally sees that each guest's needs are met. Each member of his team couldn't do enough for us to ensure that we had an amazing visit to Bilbao, Spain. Thank you!

    There was no complimentary bottled water (still or sparkling) in the room. The coffee station in the room could have been better. The wooden shower boards were a bit dated.

    We really had a fantastic experience with the staff - from the moment we arrived and were welcomed by the porters and then Eder at the front desk, over the truly excellent breakfast at the rooftop and dinner in the new Olio restaurant, to the departure. So helpful and friendly.

    Sleek hotel in unbeatable location
    • Leisure trip

    Breakfast is expensive to add on (it wasn't included in our Booking.com rate) and we opted not to bother as there were lots of good nearby options. The room we had booked was a courtyard view and I hadn't fully appreciated how enclosed it would feel - the window was in a curtained-off corner of the room so it felt like there was no outlook really. With hindsight I wish we had upgraded but we figured we wouldn't be spending much time in the room. We notified the team we were staying for our Silver wedding anniversary and I guess a welcome drink or similar gesture would have been nice.

    The location next to the Guggenheim is unbeatable, and we got good recommendations from the courteous reception team for dining options in the city, within a short walk. The concierge was v helpful with booking taxis, buses etc. Our room was large, spotless and comfortable with a good sized bathroom. The small sauna and steam room were very welcome after a day of sightseeing, and the rooftop bar is also very nice with a fabulous view. Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat in the hotel at all.

    Only wifi could have been better. But as a European citizen with 5G this was only a minor issue in an otherwise perfect stay.

    The location, staff and the rooftop breakfast are probably the best you can find in Bilbao. If you have the budget, stay in a room with terras or outside view, as the interior rooms are darker and miss daylight.

    The spa area was not very nice. When we got there there was no one to receive us so we didn't know where to go, it said their specialists were busy, I assume giving a private massage? There are only a steaming bath and a sauna, but the sauna was off.

    Luxury hotel, beautifully decorated. Staff is extremely attentive and polite. The cocktail bar on the ground floor was great. Amazing views from the rooftop.
