We arrived here after a terrible day - too much driving, a minor traffic accident (not our fault), and about 4 hours looking for somewhere to stay in a terrifyingly busy Bilbao due to a massive music festival which seemed to have wiped out all the mobile phone signal for miles around, and also meant out alternative site for our night in the motorhome was not available. At 8pm, having driven out of the city I finally got a phone signal and some diesel (running on fumes by that stage). By 9pm we made it to the hotel which mercifully had a car park easily large enough for all the cars and now our motorhome. Coline, the receptionist gave us a lovely smile, a 5 star check in, and our very ruffled feathers settled a little. The decor is nothing special - think Premier Inn - but it’s clean, comfortable and well situated for getting into the city. And views from the hotel over the city the next morning we’re spectacular - not that we now have any fondness left for Bilbao. Next morning Coline’s colleague was equally smiley and helpful. We got two lovely coffees for 4 euros, the breakfast looked as good as anybody could want but unfortunately we already had food in the motorhome! In summary, a perfectly adequate hotel at a reasonable rate (we paid about 100 euros) for Bilbao, great car parking, and THE BEST staff.
