Great location to visit Bilbao. Riverfront and across from the Old Quarter. Walking distance to all the Pinxtos bars. 1 mile from the Guggenheim Museum, but the cable car is across the street. Breakfast is really good with Cava being poured. The gym is better than most hotels with free weights and pulley machine. The gym has its own shower and bathroom. Overall, great stay and location.
