“Class and Elegance”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

people found this review helpful

As mentioned in title when you look at the hotel those are the words which come to your mind. Probably the best hotel in Bilbao and that too right in the city center (Plaza Moyua). Bus from the airport drops near to the hotel and you can take the bus to airport right outside the hotel gate. Taxis are right next to the hotel, just sticking on the side walls of hotel. Metro is towards the other side (Moyua Stop). Once we stepped-in it just elegance and the hotel staff were very courteous with good English communication skills.

Breakfast buffet was too good and tasty with lots and loads of choices, we can have our own choice of omelets or other foods which they make right there. Rooms are perfect and very good interiors, clean rooms, aesthetically designed. All basic stuff like LCD screen, Safety Locker, Mini Bar and Nice bed. Hotel staff is excellent, helpful and they speak good English too which is very important for travelers who doesn't speak local language. There were lot of business travelers and some tourists, it always buzz with activity in evenings or mornings. There are lot of eateries around the hotel and cafes every corner near to hotel. Its a shopping center too with lot of shops and behind the hotel there is a huge shopping center.

Room Tip: Pick rooms on the Front corner and probably top floors

“Great Choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

people found this review helpful

Old-style but classy hotel in great location at Plaza Federico Moyua. We took the inexpensive city bus from the airport to Plaza Moyua and were there inside 20 minutes, after only two intermittent stops. Rooms were spacious and well furnished. Bathroom was roomy and well stocked. Just minutes from the Guggenheim and easy walking distance to the Old Town. Good restaurants and retail shopping all around the hotel area. Hotel area was very safe for walking about and the hotel staff was helpful, attentive, and informed.
