We stayed here briefly, just for a night, before our flight. The hotel was very centrally located, minutes from the Guggenheim, so perfect for a quick stop in Bilbao. The staff was super helpful with recommendations and very polished. My only gripe was that the AC didn’t work well, but the windows do open so we were comfortable.

Great location. Just had a tiny room with a skylight - not a window, much less a window I could see out of, and definitely not facing the river. For the price, that was disappointing.
