Two facts peaked my interest: no complementary water (cheaply available at 3.50€ for 0.5 litre in the minibar) and no toilet brush or water jet in the bathroom (!!!!). Both of them frankly unacceptable. For the rest the hotel is ok, slightly dated however

Wonderful hotel with great access to the city of Bilbao. The hotel design is spectacular and the rooms very comfortable and spacious. The breakfast buffet is very high quality. The hotel is just 10 minutes walk to the Guggenheim Museum and a tram stop is just across the road which can take you to the old town in 10mins.
