We arrived late at night at the hotel after a day's travel but the hotel staff greeted us warmly and were there to help us with our bags. The hotel is located opposite San Mamés Stadium towards the west end of the city centre, with handy tram stops nearby. However we walked while in the city, 5 minutes or so down to the river, 15 minutes to the Guggenheim and 20-25 minutes to the old town, a great location. The hotel is a modern build, bit of a 'block' but not without character. We had a good sized room, all the expected facilities, including tea and coffee making. The bed was comfortable and large! The toilet was not spacious but there was plenty room and all the facilities one would expect, a good shower and plenty of hot water. Unfortunately, we didn't have much of a view from our room, we looked out over a courtyard and the town at the back of the hotel with a tree partially obscuring the window. This wasn't a huge drawback for us, as we spent more time out than in however it might be a consideration. The other side of the hotel looks out on to the football stadium. There was no game on while we were there but I would imagine it would be busy and noisy during a match. The hotel has a terrace bar that overlooks the river but this was not open during our stay. We had booked rooms with breakfast and this is one of the highlights of this hotel. There is a great range of options, laid out buffet style. There are also cooked items available. The food covered local offerings, 'international' items and some temptations, ever had a glass of Cava or a 'Bloody Mary' for breakfast? I enjoyed the fruit, the pastries, smoked salmon, rolls and toasted bread, really appreciating so much variety and quality food. The coffee from a 'pod' machine was rich and tasty. Other hot drinks were available. A word too for the friendly waitress who ran the whole show with calm efficiency, she was always there to advise and help. Generally we ate in the town centre however one night we ate locally at a good pintxos bar, busy with a fine selection of food and rink, about ten minutes walk from the hotel. There seemed to be plenty other options close by that might be worth exploring. Check out was 12:00 which gave us time for a final walk before we left. The hotel provides a left luggage service which enabled us to leave our bags while we went to pick up our hire car. This was the first hotel on our holiday and from the initial warm welcome to the helpful services on departure we enjoyed our stay. Comfortable rooms, the great breakfast and helpful and friendly staff all came together to provide a very enjoyable experience.…

I stayed at the ABBA during a work conference in Bilbao in early April. The hotel is directly across the parking lot from the arena and is in an overall central area to walk out and explore in to the city. The rooms are fairly standard and bit old; however, the room was clean and everything work accordingly. I will note that they do not put irons/boards in the rooms but they did deliver them quickly when asked. Another note is that the TV doesn't have any English speaking stations. The breakfast buffet is very nice in the morning with a fairly wide selections of breads, meats/cheese, boiled eggs, pastries, fruits, yogurt and juices. I did have dinner at the hotel on the first night and was very impressed with the seabss (local fish on the menu). Very nice portion and very flavorful…
La elección fué perfecta, nos gustó mucho la decoración y la atención recibida por el personal. La ubicación es muy tranquila y con la estación de metro San Mamés muy cerca Nos gusta que el hotel tenga restaurante, pues nos salva las cenas. El desayuno de Buffet está bien, excepto el lunes que se reduce en quesos, embutidos,....pero en general bien. La habitación perfecta. Aquí van seis fotos de hoy
Very close to the football stadium with great views over the river, nice hotel in easy walking distance to the centre, lots of nice bars with pinchos, Staff go that extra mile, special mention to receptionist Monica who sorted restaurant bookings and made sure we had fresh milk in the room.
