En una isla de Bilbao
Pros:

El hotel limpio, con camas cómodas y servicio bueno. Lo mejor el jardín de la planta baja.
Los propietarios muy bien.

Cons:

Lo peor la ubicación, porque está lejos del centro y el transporte público es escaso, por lo que hay que andar mucho y toda la zona está inmersa en obras.

Pros:

La atención del personal

Cons:

Está lejos de todo punto de interés para ir caminando, pero sobre todo no hay lugar cómodo para estacionar ya que fuimos en auto y en booking no se había informado la gran cantidad de obras que están haciendo, lo cual es muy molesto para transitar, debimos sortear obstáculos para salir a caminar, además la zona es oscura a la noche.

Hotel Ria de Bilbao, Spain
Pros:

Owners/Operators and staff were very friendly and helpful; view onto river was a delight; price was fair for services.

Cons:

The policy of no food or drink in the room is a bit off-putting! I understand the reasons why, but we've never encountered this before, so it was a surprise, as i don't remember this in the descriptor.
The location, though quiet, is awkward, especially in a neighbourhood that's undergoing a huge transformación & gentrification. It's an intriguing choice for a location, tho not sure I'd choose it again.
