Lovely Apartment. Would Definitely Recommend.
Pros:

This apartment was lovely, very unique, with lots of character. The host was very friendly, helpful and informative. Plus she gave lots of recommendations on events, restaurants and bars to visit in Bilbao. It made my experience in Bilbao very memorable. The location is very ideal in terms of getting to the most popular areas of Bilbao. I would definitely stay here again and I will 100% be visiting Bilbao soon.

Cons:

Nothing to report 😁

Nice but could easily be better.
Pros:

Good location and good breakfast coffee great

Quiet hotel and loved the roof top pool area.

Cons:

The bedroom was ok but nowhere to put anything one suitcase stand only. There was hanging space for shirts in the bathroom great for steaming out creases but left clothes feeling damp.
The cleaner did come into our room and collected the privacy card and hung on our door so room wasn’t cleaned. Noticed these were on most doors on our floor.
Was a shame there was no bar or even cafe to get a drink in the evening.

Very modern and chic hotel in a great city
Pros:

Modern and clean. A little out of the centre of town but enough around it. Very inclusive atmosphere. Secure parking

Cons:

Difficult to drive to due to one way streets, rooms very minimal but noise bounces around. Parking expensive.
