“I don’t care” and “you have no manners” – as said by Eva G., Front Desk Clerk
Pros:

Location. Handy parking under hotel.

Cons:

Our stay was extremely disappointing, mainly because of how the hotel handled a problem that could easily have been avoided.

I had booked two double rooms with breakfast. The night before arrival, I contacted the hotel through Booking.com to confirm this, and they confirmed it in writing.

Despite this, upon arrival we were told that breakfast was included for only two people and that we would have to pay for the others. When I pointed out the hotel's written confirmation, I was told that another clerk had replied to me.

After a long journey, I asked simply to be given the rooms and said we could discuss the matter later. The receptionist responded that she “didn't care” and told me I had “no manners.” I asked to speak to the manager and said I wanted to cancel. We were eventually told that the manager had been contacted and that we could stay and have breakfast.

The following morning, while having breakfast, we were told that breakfast had finished and that we had to leave. Even the half-full bottle of water I had taken was challenged, despite breakfast supposedly having finished.

My daughter was also bitten by an insect during the night. I reported this to reception and asked them to treat the room and whether they had anything for pain relief. We were simply told to go to a pharmacy.

At check-out, I spoke to the manager about the receptionist's comments. She attributed them to language difficulties. Perhaps “no manners” could be explained by a language misunderstanding, but “I don't care” needs very little interpretation.

The main issue was not the breakfast itself, but the written confirmation being contradicted, the way the matter was handled and the dismissive attitude of the staff. A real pity, as the hotel has potential but is very badly managed.

The rooms themselves were acceptable, but overall the experience was very disappointing. I would recommend keeping all communication with the hotel in writing.

Mooie locatie in Bilbao, mooi hotel
Pros:

Hotel ligt gunstig in de stad, we hebben alles kunnen lopen. Veel restaurantjes in de buurt.

Cons:

Uitzicht was niet fantastisch ( op het dak van het winkelcentrum) maar we hadden ook zelf gevraagd om een kamer op een lage verdieping. Als je iets verder zicht wilt hebben beter een kamer hoger in het gebouw. ( receptie op begane grond, restaurant op de eerste, kamers op 3 en hoger)

Great location for onward travel
Pros:

The location is brilliant if you want to catch a bus for onward travel or the airport bus. It is situated in the main transport hub, so metro and trains go from here. We only stayed one night on our homeward journey. The hotel is clean and the staff helpful. The room was comfortable and quiet.

Cons:

A small point and a typically English comment 😂where were the English breakfast tea bags! We don’t all drink coffee and Earl Grey is not the choice for breakfast.

San Mames is well located & convenient for anyone comfortable walking or using public transport.
Pros:

Hotel is very conveniently located right next to the central bus & train station so very convenient for connections. Wide range of food for breakfast with different options available upon request. Easy on line check in which made room allocation timeless on arrival. Staff were very friendly

Cons:

QR codes frequently referred to for the hotel facilities which may not be very user friendly for many guests. SMART rooms again may not suit everybody but for us not a major inconvenience. Located right next to a central station exposes you to unfortunate people sleeping rough & begging outside & near the hotel.
