“The oldest hotel in Bilbao boasts a prime spot opposite the Arriaga Theatre and retains original features like wood beams, really setting it apart. Though some rooms lean toward a basic aesthetic, the staff consistently earn high praise, and the location puts you in the heart of the Siete Calles area. In my opinion, this blend of history and central access makes it a worthwhile consideration.”
