All in all - had a nice 3 night stay. The whole staff was fabulously friendly. The breakfast with a good view over Bilbao and which was quite high, as for instance was sensational, had so much to choose from. This location was good and stunning, next to Northern Spain, a nice church, and around 20 minutes on foot from the riverside, and 40 minutes from the Guggenheim.
