The only problem for me is I stayed on Sunday and the restaurant next door was shut and no local options available also hotel doesn't have a bar"

"El agua con limón que te ponen en la entrada totalmente caliente y en el desayuno lo tque debe ser caliente lo presentan frío y lo que debe ser frío lo dan caliente el desayuno un desastre
Tortilla de patata fría el jugo de naranja y el yogurt caliente"
"Atmospheric quirky hotel. Retains convent feel.
Nice staff; good restaurant at night.
Note it doesn’t do breakfast but good cafe nearby. No reception before noon. Good base for Bilbao - on commuter line to central station , one hour trip with regular trains ."
"Hotel is super convenient for access to the airport and has a free shuttle to the airport starting at 5 am. Other than that, there is very little reason to stay here. Very utilitarian building and rooms. Not much in terms of ammenities. Staff were very helpful."
