The palace is located in the center of the town making it accessible to all forms of transportation. Being that the hotel is located in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the old town, the noise didn’t bother me when I was in the hotel room. I also want to give a shout out to Luz, who prepared breakfast with the most delicious foods and baked goods! I can’t leave out the front desk staff either, they were all so helpful, joyful and friendly.

This is a lovely boutique hotel. Friendly helpful staff and readily accessible to both, the old city and the newer city. Best of all, it was a 5 minute walk across a bridge from the our arrival train station. Note: for those with sensitive skin like me, I put a t-shirt over my pillow to stop the reaction from the scented detergent/dryer chemicals.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room had small fridge and safe. I asked how I could get hot water for tea, the lady at front desk prepared electric kettle and some tea bags for me with no charge. Building is old, so you take an elevator or use stairs to the second floor, then another elevator to your room floor. The room itself was old, but the bathroom was renovated and very modern and clean.

This hotel was just perfect for our stay in Bilbao. Right in the Old Town, walkable to nearly everywhere we wanted to go. But also near public transport, if needed. The room and bathroom was spacious and well equipped. The beds and pillows were comfy. The breakfast was brilliant and well managed by Maria. Highly recommended!
