Reviews and Ratings
After a long hot day of sightseeing, the hotel was a tranquil oasis with its comfortable beds and luxurious bathroom. However, it's a bit of a walk to the city and back, and the dining experience could use improvement.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were spacious with a decent sized bathroom and a very nice breakfast. However, the bathroom had black mold on the shower tiles, which was a downside. The service was excellent, very accommodating when we needed it most. The location was great, with good bus links to attractions. The dining experience was superb with a variety of options. The facilities were well-appointed.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and gleaming with a lovely bathroom and stupendous views, although the location was a bit further from the center than expected. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very helpful and welcoming. The dining experience was fabulous, offering a variety of options to eat and drink. Overall, a great place to stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is in a convenient location just a short drive to the ferry terminal. The rooms are spotless and spacious, with a particularly good shower and complimentary tea, coffee, and water provided. The service is top-notch, with professional and efficient staff who are most helpful. The dining experience is outstanding with healthy and organic products used, although breakfast comes at an additional cost. The facilities are well-kept and provide all the necessary amenities.
The hotel is spacious and very comfortable, with huge rooms that offer fantastic views and food. Despite some noise from neighboring rooms due to thin walls, the overall experience was positive. The service was excellent, particularly thanks to the friendly and efficient staff. While the location is slightly uphill and not central, the hotel provides a free shuttle to Bilbao's center, making it a convenient choice. The dining experience, although not extensively explored, was worth the cost. The green landscape surrounding the hotel adds to the pleasant atmosphere.
The hotel is perched up the hill, which provides a convenient location with easy access to the motorway and a downhill walk to the old city. The rooms are huge and comfortable, perfect for families with continental style twin beds and bunk beds for the children. The service is top-notch, with efficient and polite staff. The dining experience offers a wide variety of food with superb views, although it lacked richness in certain options. The facilities are well-maintained, and the price is considered fair for such a grand hotel.
The hotel offers a mix of luxurious amenities and needs improvement in cleanliness. The rooms are incredibly spacious, boasting high-quality furnishings and a lavish bathroom; however, the cleanliness falls short of expectations. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff, although some areas lacked attention to detail. The location is convenient, with easy access to the city center, yet the uphill trek may not suit everyone's preference. The dining options are varied but may become repetitive over time. The facilities meet expectations, albeit with minor drawbacks.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with its spacious and lovely rooms, but was slightly noisy due to water pipe sounds. The service was efficient and courteous, with helpful staff throughout my stay. The location was ideal with easy access to transportation and major attractions, although a bit far from the city center. Dining was excellent but on the expensive side. Overall, a great choice for a comfortable stay with top-notch facilities.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic. The rooms were luxurious, equipped with cream leather couches, a leather bed, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom that was simply amazing with a state-of-the-art shower, a huge whirlpool bath, his and hers sinks, and plenty of fluffy towels. The space in the room was ample, offering a good size for maximum comfort. However, some hanging space in the wardrobe could have been better to accommodate longer dresses. The service was top-notch with staff who were extremely helpful, giving great tips about navigating the city. The location was superb, just a 10-minute walk from the old town, with stunning views of the Guggenheim Museum, the city, and snow-covered mountains in the distance. The dining experience was wonderful with buffet-style meals and a wide variety of food options. Overall, it was a great value for the price paid.
Upon arrival, the room smelt very strongly of cigarette smoke, but overall, it was superb clean, comfortable, and restful. The large corner room featured a massive comfy bed, sitting area, and a luxurious bathroom with his and hers sinks, a bath with shower, and a separate shower enclosure.
The hotel had spacious rooms with a flat-screen TV and an excellent en-suite bathroom, but the noise from the neighboring room kept me up until 3 am, and the quality of the beds was lacking. However, the room had a large sitting area and a fantastic bathroom, clean and well-appointed.
Staying at this hotel was a real delight! The rooms are comfortable, uniquely decorated, spacious, and very quiet. The service was exceptional, with charming and friendly staff who made my stay truly memorable. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the old town, and the dining experience was extraordinary. However, the breakfast was a bit disappointing for the price paid.
The hotel offers awesome views of the bridge from the rooms, with spacious and comfy beds, but noise can be a concern. The lack of room personality is noticeable, yet the comfort of the beds makes up for it.
When I arrived at the hotel, I immediately noticed the cigarette smoke smell in the room coming from the neighboring room. The walls were really thin, and it felt like I could almost hear everything from next door. Despite this, the hotel staff were helpful and attentive during my stay, making the overall experience quite pleasant.
My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The rooms were large, comfortable, and had a smart TV along with a modern bathroom, although the temperature was a bit chilly compared to the rest of the hotel. The service was top-notch with very friendly and efficient staff. The location was a bit far out for my liking, requiring a 20-25 minute walk to reach popular spots, but the secure underground car park was a bonus. The dining experience was fantastic with a wide variety of choices at the buffet. The facilities were great, making my stay even more enjoyable.
