5/5 Excellent

  • Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

Close by is the Basilica of Begona and walking distance down the steps to Plaza de Miguel de Unamuno, where we heard performers singing on the balcony; close to Bilbao Museum and funicular which was closed due to inclement weather. Beautiful hotel and the pool would be ideal in the summer. First night was disappointing because their WiFi was flaky.
