Although away from central Bilbao, it was an excellent hotel with character, in a nice populated neighborhood. The fact that they accept pets and their parking garage were significant benefits for us.

Hotel was large, clean and comfortable. Reception was efficient. Car park good but spaces quite small. Room was adequate but nothing special. Breakfast good. Biggest problem was the restaurant was shut for dinner and we were told the nearest restaurant was about 800 metres away. There was a shelf of snack meal for sale at very high prices.

GOOD HOTEL CLOSE TO FERRY PORT

Stayed at the URH. Palacido de Oriol Hotel on 3 separate occasions, and have been very happy with our stay. The only problem I can see is if someone is a light sleeper, then they must ask for a room facing away from the railway line the has trains going past from 5 am until late in the evening, and they are quite noisy.

Initially it was difficult to locate the hotel. But we did so eventually. Warm welcome at reception and a lovely room. But the view was not inspiring. Overlooking the railway which was quite noisy with trains stopping and starting until late at night. We like to sleep with a window open and this was difficult with the noise.

I arrived to the hotel after a 10 hours drive from Algeciras because I was driving back to the UK. As mentioned in the description the parking is not always guaranteed, but you can park is the hospital car park across the road whixh is fine. However l had lots fo luggage to unload and asked if someone could help or at least take my car to the carpark unload it then leave. The female receptionist was very rude inconsiderate and unhelpful and said this is a 4* hotel not 5 so no one is available to help. i had to push the trolley is a very steep path and it got stuck and couldn’t move it luckily one of the guests saw me struggling and helped. The place is smells of mould and has mould everywhere. I don’t have asthma and I was struggling as I was coughing the whole night. The room was also dirty. I’m only giving this place a 1 star because of the gentleman next day who allowed me to take my car inside the carpark to load it as its way easier because I just had to take the lif and push the trolly for two seconds instead of a 10 min journey!!!! Will DEFINITELY NOT BE RECOMMENDING THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!! Horrible service.

Excellent hotel at a fair price for great service

Stayed before. That’s why we chose again this same hotel. Hotel staff are so welcoming and helpful. Evening meal and breakfast was very good and the voice was excellent. Will be booking with this same hotel on our next trip in October.

I cannot recommend

Most of the rooms are not in the beautiful, historic building you see on the photos, but rather on a huge underground extension they built underneath. Because of the sloped terrain, rooms face the back of the building and don't seem apparent when looking at the original palace building. These rooms are below-grade and face busy train tracks, and they are quite close to them. The noise and, often, the vibration of trains passing by made our stay very unpleasant, it really was hard to get a good sleep. Rooms also feel tired and outdated, but they are otherwise spacious and comfortable. The grounds and surroundings are nice. Very limited parking within the hotel, but we found plenty of space in the hospital's parking lot across the street. I do not recommend the restaurant at the back of this hotel, despite the views and outdoor patio.

Unique beautiful building, short walk to metro to Bilbao, safe parking, staff spoke excellent English, spacious room. Didn’t like restaurant which served the worst meal we’ve had over 10 day vacation. Food was flavorless, meat was terribly dry. Google maps did not find correct location so we hired an Uber to let us follow to the hotel. Streets are difficult if you don’t know the area.
