“Friendly Staff, Vibrant Facilities, Stellar Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Even the gray clouds, damp cold and off and on rain showers of late January/early February couldn't quash the warmth and liveliness of this smart, comfortable and modern boutique hotel. Situated right across the street from the eye-popping Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, we were a short walk to most tourist sights (Casco Viejo, shopping, museums, pintxos, vino). Mostly we walked and used umbrellas a great deal, but we found the city buses and underground were easy to negotiate. Our room included an outstanding breakfast with an attentive and friendly staff. The charming decor augmented by works of the popular artist Mariscal added to the vacation atmosphere "aboard the cruise ship, Gran Hotel Domine Bilbao": a maritime theme is used throughout the various venues in this hotel's facilities....most enjoyable and fun.

Room Tip: If possible, request a room facing the Guggenheim for the view of the river and museum are spectacul...

“Modern hotel in a great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

I stayed in the Domine for 9 nights. I had a room that faced inwards, so it was very quiet, I'm a light sleeper so the room was ideal. Service by the hotel staff is generally excellent, but the staff in the small cafe on the ground floor were slow and rather rude. The staff in the restaurant on the 7th floor were excellent. The rooms are well equipped and spacious. The bathrooms are well equipped with the widest range of toiletries that I have ever come across. On the whole I loved the Domine and would not hesitate to use it again.

“Great Location, Good Breakfast & Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

We had very little time here, but the hotel was quiet and generally comfortable. We didn't pay the considerably higher price for the room with the view of the Guggenheim, but we got a good rate on a room overlooking the atrium. An interesting design . . . lots of windows, but it seems like with the curtains open there isn't much privacy.
The room was too warm for us and despite two visits from the reception staff, it couldn't be adjusted. I don't remember being able to open windows overlooking the atrium, so we just accepted the stuffy room.
Breakfast was very nice and the location was perfect for us. Parking was easy, but an additional fee.
Internet seemed slow and often didn't work for us in our room. The code didn't always work - perhaps it was changed daily? It was frustrating.

“Wonderful location with Guggenheim view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

The breakfast buffet on the terrace was a dream. The food was OK, but the view and style was wonderful.
Located on a lovely area, Close to everything and excellent for walks in the area.
