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!

Nice location in the old town, friendly staff -and clean however the mirrow above the headboard of the bed is too high and useless for a 5 foot height person so ended up using the little one in the toilet.

Great stay in grand old building.
Hotel location in Old Town was excellently situated right next to the river and all the hot spots. The room and bathroom was very spacious. Beds and bedding were clean and comfortable. The room was very quiet thanks to the enclosed balcony that kept all the street noise out of the room. There was a good sized desk and closet storage as well as outlets and USB bed-side. The bathroom also had a full door opening up to the outside, though no balcony, which was very nice. Being situated in an old building (once a palace, aka very rich house) there is a cool winding brick stairway, but also spacious (for Spain) elevators. Only complaint was the very squeaky floors in the bedroom, but it's almost to be expected in an older building.
