No volvería a alojarme ahí. Muy caro para lo que me ofrecieron. Aducen de que tenía ese precio por la demanda alta por
Pros:

La propiedad no es fea, pero necesita algunos cambios drásticos.

Cons:

Habitación en planta alta sin ascensor, sin aire acondicionado,sin puerta en el dormitorio, con un artificio de construcción peligroso para salir de la habitación e ir al baño. Hacia un calor insoportable y nos pusieron un ventilador en el dormitorio y uno en una cocina estudio. No andaban los tomas de corriente cuando uno apagaba la luz del dormitorio. De esta manera, mi marido que usa un aparato para APNEA, no pudo utilizarlo esa 2 noches. O sea, que no lo recomiendo para NADA. Quisieron resarcirnos de las faltas de atención con un desayuno en el momento en que ya nos retirábamos y no teníamos tiempo de hacerlo. Había en ese momento del retiro, otro cliente quejándose de una ventana en mal estado.

Aanrader voor bezoek aan Bilbao, rustig net buiten de stad gelegen maar goed bereikbaar met OV
Pros:

Rustige kamer met goede bedden, echt een heerlijk ontbijt met veel keus en de receptioniste die van alles heeft uitgelegd over het openbaar vervoer, fijn om een OV kaart in bruikleen te krijgen die in de stad op meerdere plekken op te laden is.

Don't be put off by the two stars rating, the hotel is excellent.
Pros:

The location was excellent, easy to find. Room was so much better than expected. Lovely cold buffet breakfast with pastries, sandwiches, yoghurt, fruit etc,all really good quality and fresh.

Cons:

Wasn't really that big a deal but a bar would have been perfect. There is a fridge with beer, wine and sandwiches that I used and sat outside with a great view over the city.

Je recommande car excellent rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Hôtel sur les hauteurs de Bilbao avec panorama sur la ville. Parking voiture dans l'enceinte de l'hôtel. Borne de recharge électrique pour véhicule électrique à proximité immédiate de l'hôtel. Chambre propre, spacieuse et confortable. Grand lit confortable. Salle de bains avec douche. Bouilloire et réfrigérateur. Petits déjeuners copieux et variés. Personnel à l'écoute et prévenant.

Cons:

Avec une navette, partant de l'hôtel, pour rejoindre le téléphérique pour le centre de Bilbao, ce serait parfait !

Super petit hôtel pour se reposer après avoir fait beaucoup de Kms et reprendre la route le lendemai
Pros:

Hôtel est installé dans un jolie parc et très bien situé en périphérie de Bilbao
Le personnel est très sympathique et les chambres sont très agréables.

Cons:

Nous n'avons pas apprécié le petit déjeuné du fait !
Il ne manquait rien, sauf que le pain et les viennoiseries et les petits gâteaux étaient industriels
Vraiment dommage
