The hotel is quite a long walk to the metro , 20 to 25 minutes so not ideal. The area is clean and modern but not too much to do in the evening.
The sofabed in the room was only a two seater size which is just to small to sit on.
This hotel is clearly aimed at one person attending the nearby exhibition centre rather than a couple or a small family. Hotel has a very smart design at reception level and includes a reasonable small swimming pool.
A couple of minor points for the hotel to consider , supply proper cups rather than paper cups and in future don't sacrifice room size in order to provide a 'flash' large bathroom.
Overall I would NOT recommend this hotel for anyone planning to visit Bilbao for a weekend break. Its OK but the walk to the metro back and forth is just too long.
Bilbao itself is an enjoyable Spanish city. It also has beaches to go which was a pleasant surprise, we went to Algorta. Although the beaches are reached on a different metro line from where this hotel is located.
