Guests tend to rate it highly for value, with an overall score of 8.6/10 from 1,092 reviews, and many mention that the stay feels calm and straightforward rather than fussy. The building’s palatial past is part of the appeal, and the restored character gives the hotel a sense of history that’s hard to find in newer budget stops.

If you’re planning a mix of coastline time and city sightseeing, this location works well.
Best for budget road-trippers, families, and couples who want a quiet, character-filled base with free parking and good sleep quality, while still being within reach of Bilbao’s attractions.
