Was quite impressed with this option which is located not too far from the Casco Viejo in Bilbao (closest metro station is Santutxu which is one stop away from the Old town on the excellent and very cheap metro system.). The hotel is a pretty modern affair with reasonably large rooms. The Main part of the room as you come in leads on to the bathroom and storage area where you will find loads of storage space and hangers which seems to be a rarity nowadays in hotel rooms. Inside the wardrobe is a safe for locking away valuables. The Bathroom itself is interesting, Large yes and with a very large tub, enough for two people to comfortably sit in to be honest.
Off this and this is where the room scores plus points is a door to the bedroom area itself, so this means that there are two sets of doors in between the corridor and the sleeping area which is perfect for light sleepers. Beds are on the large side. A Double bed is in effect two reasonably sized singles pushed together. Honesty Minibar in the room which is reasonably priced and also free in room wi-fi!!
The hotel also benefits from a Spa/Fitness centre on site which i unfortunately did not get to use as this closed at 4pm on a Sunday (the only negative to the stay in effect), and also has a reasonably priced Cafe downstairs as well as restaurant plus vending machines and a complimentary copy of ABC newspaper each day. The only negative I would say about this hotel is the lack of foreign TV channels for guests but in all, this was a very good option and a steal at the price of £40.00/€45.00 a night on the website I booked this via.
As noted by other reviewers, the city is a pleasant surprise and a worthwhile place to pass a weekend checking out the sights and stuffing your face full of the tasty Pintxos.

Not a bad place overall. Nice staff and clean, relatively nice rooms. But our air conditioning didn't work. In fact it made the room hotter than just having the window open. We told the front desk to have someone check it out...but nothing changed. We sweated like farm animals. Also the water from the shower was only hot, no cold. We had the maintenance come up and fix it, and that resolved the problem temporarily. But then it happened again. Also, you must pay 14 Euros per day to park your car and pay around 20 for the gym... Factor that into your decision-making when deciding where to stay in Bilbao...Also it's slightly outside of the center, though convenient if you are comfortable taking the metro.

We booked through Lastminute.com's 'Top Secret Hotels' so we didn't know about the location before booking. It was a little too far out from Bilbao's old town to walk there, but it was right around the corner from the metro and it was only one or two stops from the centre.

We were in Bilbao to get the ferry but had a couple of days to explore. The reception staff were very helpful with maps and directions. The bar and restaurant were nice, though the tapas were overpriced in the bar compared to the rest of the city.

The room was very nice, and was quiet despite facing the road. The only slightly annoying thing was the 'walk-through' bathroom when you entered the room.

Front desk personal was great, though we suspect a cleaning lady entered our room to have a smoke as we arrived some hours after the check in to find a smelly room. On the first night the sheets had a few holes and the curtains were a bit old and had a few holes too. The hotel is well located but be prepared to climb up a steppy street on your way back from the city's center.
