My husband (68) and I (58) stayed for five nights, and were very pleased all the while. Great breakfast, helpful staff - very clean and fresh room. We loved the attitude; respect for all, be kind, take care of the planet. This concept is great. Also, the location was perfect. Thank you for a great stay!

The hotel is centrally located only a few minutes walk from the Bilbao train station on the edge of the old town. The room was spacious but I’d caution that it’s an open plan design meaning that there’s not much separation between the sleeping area and the bathroom area. The pool was small but was very popular nonetheless and the rooftop bar/pool area had great views of the river and Bilbao. Bed was also very comfortable.
