Exceptional

Well located to explore Bilbao and easy parking (paid for) although you can’t book it in advance.
Quite a corporate fell but well appointed rooms with balcony. Rooftop pool is tiny and not really a reason to book.
Booked due to so many ‘exceptional’ reviews…. its less than.
Check in experience varies by who you get..
Room was good- shower great but not exceptional…
This hotel does not have a pool… please dont book thinking there is!
84cms deep and you can reach either side ish if standing in the middle.
8 sun loungers… to a hotel this big?
We looked as many did for another part.. and because our check in lacked depth.. like the pool..we couldnt see where you got the towels from.
Very noisy air con
and to our surprise we were charged for water in the room.. seemed a little much given the price of the stay…
The hotel is in a good location and our room did have a balcony which was pleasant.
**dont book a hotel with a pool.. use the Artxanda pool central location - cheap, stay all day, has a sun deck etc only 7:80e
soooo good!
Great hotel with lovely staff, very comfortable rooms and a fantastic breakfast. The pool is quite small but great for a splash at the end of a hot day sightseeing
Great helpful staff. Gym was small but good, however there was always something missing that we needed to ask for - towels, drinking glasses, etc.
Pool is tiny and the loungers unbearable in the heat. Some umbrellas are needed.
Great location and nice hotel. Highly recommend.
This is a beautiful respite in Bilboa. Can't wait to return. Will definitely stay here! Rooms arecwell appointed. Be sure to request a room with a terrace on the river side of the building. So worth it!
Breakfast was the best. Staff were very friendly kind and helpful. Rooms spacious. Great location within close proximity to all shopping sightseeing Restaurants. Will definitely recommend this hotel for stay.
We had a lovely room on the 7th floor that was spotlessly clean. The location was great. There was a decent restaurant and bar and a pleasant roof top pool but the highlight of our stay was the exceptional, friendly service provided by the hotel staff.

Welcoming warm and friendly staff, fabulous breakfast and newly decorated rooms. Bijoux roof top pool and good location to parks and The Guggenheim. Will return for sure!
Great room. Comfortable beds. Wonderful shower.
Just noisy, from the AC making dripping noises, the drains in the bathroom making glugging noises & noisy from the hallway, a massive gab under the door meant when next door came & went it woke me.
We stayed here for 2 nights and were very happy with the facilities. Staff are very friendly and helpful and it is close to the Guggenheim museum and a nice park. There are a variety of cafe’s and bars close by and it is a straight walk to the old town which takes about 20 mins. The hotel has a rooftop pool and a very comfortable bar lounge. Would definitely use again.
Lovely staff, could not be more helpful. Rooms were extremely comfortable location of Hotel also very good for the Guggenheim museum, soccer stadium and downtown shopping
Outstanding location, very comfortable room, freindly staff especially Arkaitz y Karen always with a smile and very helpful, the gym had everything you need for a workout, love it!!!!!
