Unique beautiful building, short walk to metro to Bilbao, safe parking, staff spoke excellent English, spacious room. Didn’t like restaurant which served the worst meal we’ve had over 10 day vacation. Food was flavorless, meat was terribly dry. Google maps did not find correct location so we hired an Uber to let us follow to the hotel. Streets are difficult if you don’t know the area.

Not a 4 star hotel, very expensive for what offers

Not a 4 star hotel AT ALL! In the room you find not even half liter water bottle, no toothbrush, just some SMALL shower gel and shampoo "bottle". VERY, VERY noizy due to trains passing just couple of meters to hotel. Only one reception stuff understood me that I could not sleep and changed the room. The other ones were arogant, anyway NOT 4 STAR HOTEL EMPLOYEE! When client claims the noise from trains, WE MAKE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE HIM HAPPY, NOT TELL HIM IMMEDIATELY "NOT POSSIBLE"

I cannot recommend

Most of the rooms are not in the beautiful, historic building you see on the photos, but rather on a huge underground extension they built underneath. Because of the sloped terrain, rooms face the back of the building and don't seem apparent when looking at the original palace building. These rooms are below-grade and face busy train tracks, and they are quite close to them. The noise and, often, the vibration of trains passing by made our stay very unpleasant, it really was hard to get a good sleep. Rooms also feel tired and outdated, but they are otherwise spacious and comfortable. The grounds and surroundings are nice. Very limited parking within the hotel, but we found plenty of space in the hospital's parking lot across the street. I do not recommend the restaurant at the back of this hotel, despite the views and outdoor patio.

Does the job

The hotel was fine. It did the job. It's in a good location being so close to the train station - getting into Bilbao is very easy. Some nice places to eat just down the road. Rooms were fine, pretty standard affair, although cleaned to a high standard. Biggest disappointment was the service. Staff at check in and check out were cold and unwelcoming, bordering on rude. Very much not in keeping with how friendly I found Spanish people to be in general. The hotel bar is also a waste of time and not worth visiting. There was no outside seating at all despite clearly having space for it, and it normally being there (according to staff) presumably because it wasn't summer. At the end of the day it does the job.

I arrived to the hotel after a 10 hours drive from Algeciras because I was driving back to the UK. As mentioned in the description the parking is not always guaranteed, but you can park is the hospital car park across the road whixh is fine. However l had lots fo luggage to unload and asked if someone could help or at least take my car to the carpark unload it then leave. The female receptionist was very rude inconsiderate and unhelpful and said this is a 4* hotel not 5 so no one is available to help. i had to push the trolley is a very steep path and it got stuck and couldn’t move it luckily one of the guests saw me struggling and helped. The place is smells of mould and has mould everywhere. I don’t have asthma and I was struggling as I was coughing the whole night. The room was also dirty. I’m only giving this place a 1 star because of the gentleman next day who allowed me to take my car inside the carpark to load it as its way easier because I just had to take the lif and push the trolly for two seconds instead of a 10 min journey!!!! Will DEFINITELY NOT BE RECOMMENDING THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!! Horrible service.

Although away from central Bilbao, it was an excellent hotel with character, in a nice populated neighborhood. The fact that they accept pets and their parking garage were significant benefits for us.
