Pros
  • You'll stay in a very central location, right next to the Town Hall and overlooking the Nervión River, Zubizuri Bridge, and Isozaki Towers. 
  • The rooms are pretty basic, but they have modern amenities, like air conditioning and espresso machines, and some offer nice terraces with city views. 
  • You'll be ready for a day of sightseeing after the continental breakfast buffet, which includes fruit, yogurt, coffee, tea, toast, juices, croissants, cereals, sandwiches, and more.
  • If you're in a hurry, the on-site Café Plaza offers an express breakfast option with natural juice, coffee, and a sandwich.
  • You can also have a coffee, soft drink, tea, glass of wine, or beer in the bar area.
Cons
  • You'll be in the more modern part of the city, so you might miss the charm of older, historic buildings in other parts of the city.
  • Some of the rooms face a busy road, so be sure to request a room away from the noise if that's a concern for you.
  • There's no full restaurant on-site, but there is a small cafeteria, and you'll be near lots of dining options in the city.

Authenticity

Though you'll stay in a contemporary hotel in a modern part of the city, the hotel doesn't miss out on authenticity. Throughout the building, you'll find sculptures, paintings, and photographs that add character and charm. Notable design brands like Marset, Vibia, and Le Corbusier are showcased in the rooms and common areas.

Location

The hotel's location in the center of Bilbao, next to the Town Hall and opposite the Zubizuri Bridge, makes it an ideal base for exploring the city. Situated on the Paseo Campo Volantín, a modern and revitalized area next to the Nervión River, you'll enjoy being across from the Isozaki Towers and nearby attractions. The Guggenheim Museum and the Puppy Statue are just 15 minutes away.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The hotel's modern rooms are fully equipped and air-conditioned, featuring spacious bathrooms, comfortable beds, reading lights, Smart TVs, and WiFi. Acoustic insulation ensures a restful night's sleep. Some rooms offer views of the Nervión River, Zubizuri Bridge, and Isozaki Towers, while premium rooms have terraces, panoramic views, and espresso coffee makers.
