Staff was friendly but I was disappointed by the quality of the hotel. I must say that previous to my stay in this hotel, I had spent five nights in two different Paradores.

I read some reviews that described this hotel as having a conference aesthetic and it's certainly not a boutique design, but it really is a very beautiful and clean hotel, right across from the Guggenheim with outstanding service and a great bathroom. I had been traveling for awhile and started to feel a bit ill when I arrived, so I appreciated the black out curtains, incredible water pressure from the shower, and very comfortable bed so I could get a good nap in right when I arrived. Service was outstanding. The hotel arranged for a taxi to take me to Azurmendi, since it's a bit outside the city, and was so helpful anytime I needed something. I always appreciate turn down service and especially appreciated the pillow spray they left which was really lightly floral, not overpowering at all and really helped me sleep. The towel warmer was awesome and made me feel so cozy every time I got out of the shower. All around, this is a great hotel that I'd absolutely stay in again, perfect as a home base if you're in Bilbao, with an unbeatable location if you want to fit in the Guggenheim (literally right across the street!) Incredible service team and very clean, comfortable, and quiet rooms.
