Not 4 star quality.

This is an architecturally lovely building and because of its age and situation, is not planned out in a conventional way. It is conveniently located within 10 minutes walk of Santurtzi where there are many restaurants and a short 6 - 7 minutes drive (5.6km) to Bilbao Ferry Terminal. The hotel provides shower and hand gel, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. Rooms have air-conditioning. While the shower was over the bath, it was excellent but the screen allowed water onto the floor. The hairdryer needed replaced as it kept overheating and cutting out; an ongoing issue judging by the plastic deformation. During the day, the bar was on the terrace overlooking the bay, the marina and was very pleasant. The car park was underground and available with reservation costing two motorcycles €15 per night. We chose not to eat in either the restaurant or the cafeteria and sampled local fare instead. The lower level second floor smelt a bit damp and fusty, as did our room; as if nobody had been in it for a few days. The hotel hosts functions such as weddings. While any noise is curfewed at mid-night, if you need to sleep before that, it may be difficult especially if your room is located on the 2nd / 3rd floors. I make a plea not to let this place run down any more; the place is tired, needs decorated and management need to make checks on thorough cleaning of rooms and public areas. In my opinion it isnot 4 star quality.

Beautiful building.

This hotel was recommended to us as a luxury hotel. The Hotel sits in a great position within Bilbao & has great views. A quick & easy drive to the ferry port. We were disappointed to find that although the hotel is a beautiful building the interior is very modern. Bedroom comfortable. Restaurant very stark especially when eating alone. Food enjoyable.

Great room, great food - Poor Check In

Everything wonderful apart from having to wait 70 mins queuing at check in. After a 3 hour drive you don’t want to be waiting to get your room key. When I complained it was our fault - we’d arrived at the same time as others. What do you expect at a hotel with lots of rooms ! Also whilst in the queue it appears if you’re Spanish you can just push in ! Had a ground floor room, not a great view but did the job before getting the boat home

Too noisy to even stay 1 night.

We were not informed of a festival next to the property. We were provided ear plugs at check in. Additionally there was a mustiness to the air. We left immediately when we saw that the earplugs were necessary. This was not disclosed when we made the reservation.
