- The room was facing Guggenheim Museum (as we expected) which made my husband's birthday quite special. But it was never enough by itself. There were many other reasons which made the day. -The reception staff was very kind and welcoming. We were expecting a courier to the reception. They have taken the note and placed the package in the room whenever it is received. - The room amenities were high quality and refilled rapidly. Thank you for the fresh water, also for coffee & night chocolates. -Great thanks to the housekeeping! They were really good at what they are doing. Appreciated!🙏🏾 -The breakfast was nicely prepared with fresh & quality ingredients. -The breakfast service team was very welcoming & organized. They were making the breakfast experience smooth in every way. After omlette our service has been changed without even requesting, appreciated🙏🏾 -The building itself was simple and nicely decorated. -The location was good, the airport bus is passing by just few steps away from the hotel. -Last but not least "Thank you for the freshly cooked birthday cake. 🙏🏾"

This innovatively designed hotel is very well located for exploring on foot all the main sights of the city, and is close to the river in the old part of central Bilbao.

Being situated in a pedestrian street, the hotel is surrounded by the charming atmosphere of the most historic part of the city. The train station is also only 5 minutes away.

The hotel was very nice and quiet. They also offered a very nice inexpensive breakfast. The location was perfect in Casco Viejo- close to restaurants, cafes, boutiques and walking distance to train station and Guggenheim museum.

    A great location for the old town. Well designed public areas. The hotel had a good atmosphere. It has a sensible balance between a boutique/designer type feel but being very practical and user friendly. Very friendly staff. Nice ground floor bar and breakfast room ( restaurant later on). Rooms are well designed. Reasonable sized bathroom. The breakfasts were very good with a bit of variety over the four days we were there.

    Beautiful design and excellent service from the Amari Team, from communicating on booking.com to recommendation of places to eat, go and the best is arriving by airport bus (3 euro) takes only 20 to 25 mins and the first stop is just outside the boutique hotel. I highly recommend and would stay again.

    A lovely small boutique hotel right in the middle of the Casco viejo (old town). The rooms are nicely designed and filled with character. The staff couldn't have been nicer. The front door to the hotel opens right into the busy bustle of the old town but the windows are well glazed to keep the noise to a minimum once inside. There are many cafes and restaurants very near by. Great air con.
