Junko, Seattle

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room had small fridge and safe. I asked how I could get hot water for tea, the lady at front desk prepared electric kettle and some tea bags for me with no charge. Building is old, so you take an elevator or use stairs to the second floor, then another elevator to your room floor. The room itself was old, but the bathroom was renovated and very modern and clean.

This hotel was just perfect for our stay in Bilbao. Right in the Old Town, walkable to nearly everywhere we wanted to go. But also near public transport, if needed. The room and bathroom was spacious and well equipped. The beds and pillows were comfy. The breakfast was brilliant and well managed by Maria. Highly recommended!
