"The perfect stay before grabbing the ferry back to the UK the next day - 15 mins to the port. The room was a generous size with a great shower and the option to have a bath. We used the pool for a nice relaxing swim and ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. The quality of the food was excellent. Everyone we came accross was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be staying again!"

Fabulous hotel for visiting the Guggenheim but also walkable to all areas of Bilbao.
Breakfast is perfect, everything you could want and more.
Ate in the restaurant one evening and the food is superb and good value for a 5* hotel restaurant.
Finally the staff are all friendly and helpful. All together a great stay.

Fabulous place in a lovely location. We had a brilliant stay and the hotel could not do enough to help us. They allowed us to check out a couple of hours later as we had struggled to get transport back from Bilbao, they also made us packed lunch (for a small fee) on departure even though the restaurant was closed. Couldn't recommend enough

Beautiful rural village location very close to Bilbao. Hotel listing says no parking however there is ample free street parking in the village so don’t let this put you off.
Hotel is a family run business. Very comfortable, spacious, clean, tidy and modern rooms. Very comfortable beds and fantastic shower and bath. Beautiful scenery to wake up to.
We cannot comment on breakfast or dinner as we did not have time on this occasion. We wish we had stayed for longer and would love to...

A beautiful hotel in the waterfront, about thirty minutes by Metro, outside of Bilbao City. Within ten minutes walk of two Metro stations, it was a wonderful base to explore the city and have the tranquility of water to retreat to. Some nearby bars and shops too made for a very pleasant weekend break for me and my daughter, they're for a big right match in San Mamés.
Will definitely go back with my family.

I cannot rate this hotel and it’s staff highly enough. We visited in the middle of July just after Covid 19 restrictions were lifted. We drove from A Coruna and arrived after midnight. We booked one double room for myself, husband and small dog and a second for our 25 year old daughter. We received the most warm welcome despite the late hour and this continued throughout our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff had to work within the very tight restrictions required to operate...

We had a junior suite with views over the river. It was everything we had wished for this short break. The hotel is in a really good location. The breakfast excellent and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Great hotel right on the river - the perfect location. Easy walking to Casco Viejo and Abando, with the Guggenheim just minutes away. Our room was excellent, lovely and spacious for the 5 nights, with the comfiest beds. The hotel had a great bar with equally great food. Perfect for a nightcap or meal after a full day wandering the city. I would highly recommend and stay here again

The hotel was beautifully laid out with stunning views. The staff were above and beyond incredible. They couldn’t do enough to help. Always on hand and so amenable. I had the best stay and if I could rate 11/10 I would.

I received the usual warm welcome, plus the offer of a room upgrade, which I accepted. The service is always excellent and the servicing of the room also.

This is the most amazing hotel. The staff are delightful, the welcome drink we chose was a very nice white wine from the local area. The hotel has a metro card ready for you to take to travel into the city. The pool was cool but the views amazing. The room was out of this world. His and hers showers. A sofa. A huge bed. The food in the bar was great and the breakfast was very well stocked. We would have got rid of the canned background music, covers of pop songs was less than exciting for such a...

This is probably the friendliest and most helpful hotel I have ever stayed in, which after visiting hotels all over the world is the best compliment I can give. This family run hotel offers every kind of help and assistance you can imagine, from fixing and cleaning bikes and cars to exciting ideas of visits. The home made food is excellent and their farm produced goods are highly recommended for food buffs. Simply great. We are looking forward to visiting again next year.
