Clean quiet hotel with nice enough staff but two things really made my stay regrettable: 1.) no AC on an extremely hot day means I sweat like crazy throughout the day and night. I asked front desk and they told me to open a window. It barely helped and I heard the whole neighborhood from my window. 2.) I was deathly ill after eating something bad in Casco Viejo and asked front desk if they could bring me cold bottled water and they were taken a back as if the request was proposterous- they finally said yes after I had my brother who speaks Spanish call them up and explain the issue- they said they’d bring it with a fee. I said sure I don’t care just get me the water cause I’m dying here. They forgot/ never came so I just dragged myself out of bed and did it myself. Joder. Paid a $100 less at a hotel down the street for a nicer room, where I could change the temperature, and where after explaining I was sick- they brought me tea and water.

Hotel is very conveniently located. 15 minutes walking from the old part and 15 minutes from Guggenheim. Funicular is very close as well. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Excellent breakfast with a lot of choices. Would stay again.

For a 4 star hotel, they should do much better. Would not reccommend. Clean rooms, however their digital platforms did not allow to order room service, or even contact the front desk. There was no climate control in the rooms. Tvs were old, all digital I fo was incorrect- and there were no room service menús. When we asked for support, the front desk staff were rude and unhelpful. They didn't seem to care. In fact, nobody offered to help us get the app, and there was no apology for any of our experience.

Good location. Not very friendly welcome. Rooms functional but a bit drab and dated. V old tv. Fridge didn't work. Air con didn't appear to work. Odd smell seemed to be bumped into reception. Cleaner was Vacuuming a room with a cable stretched across the hallway to the socket - trip hazard. Noise transfer - eg sounded like furniture scraping.

Long check in as aircraft crew stay here. Unusual bedrooms with bathroom in room area but seperate toilet room. Very clean except for one day when cleaner forgot to clean glasses and forgot milk. Good to have kettle and mugs provided for Spainish hotel. Good value midweek dinner with wine. Perfect location for eveything in Bilbao and near metro to get further afield. Would definately use again.

This hotel on the surface looks good, parking is convenient but only if you get there early enough because there certainly aren't enough spaces for everyone and it's dear compared to everywhere else across spain we have stayed. Maintenance definitely needs to be stepped up, our shower leaked from the tap area and the rain head shower bit dripped cold water while using the other shower head. The plug in the sink didn't work. The lifts are a joke, so small and only one goes to the car park. Definitely not staying at a barcelo again
