The hotel has solid 3-star rooms with tired, brown decor but may feel a bit smaller than the typical Novotel. The stay was made uncomfortable as the room temperature soared above 30 degrees Celsius, and the amenities were subpar with scratchy sheets, low-quality toiletries, and inefficient air conditioning that struggled even on temperate days.

The room decor and amenities fell short with tired, brown decor and subpar amenities.

The service was attentive and helpful, with the staff providing plenty of suggestions on activities and dining options. However, at times, the staff appeared overly focused on extracting money and time from guests.

The hotel's location is great for walking into town or visiting the BEC centre, with convenient access to restaurants and parks. However, the area near the Ikea store felt odd initially but turned out fine, and the proximity to a functional metro surprised us in a positive way, aiding access to the city center and regional touring.

The dining experience had limited choices, and the quality did not live up to expectations, although gluten-free options were available. The included dining was average at best.

The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to town and the BEC center, but the room could use some maintenance. The service was attentive and helpful, especially accommodating special food requests. The dining options were good, although breakfast timing could be better. The location has both positive and negative sides, being close to amenities but lacking smoke-free areas.

The hotel's location outside the center of Bilbao was surprisingly nice with newly developed surroundings. The rooms were clean but in need of renovation to meet the cost. The service was exceptional, especially with quick and helpful food requests. The dining options were good but slightly pricey. The hotel offers a pleasant location to relax after a long drive. Just the garage access can be a bit challenging.

The hotel was located outside the center of Bilbao in a more quiet part of town, offering clean and modern rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful, but there were challenges with parking and room finish quality. Dining options were varied, with some aspects worth the price. The location was convenient due to proximity to a functional metro station.

The room was typical Novotel standard with a bath and separate walk-in shower. The especially well-equipped bathroom and mini-bar with cold drinks were a nice touch.

The dining experience was rather nice with homemade desserts, but some aspects may not justify the price. Visiting nearby coffee places for breakfast could be a better value option.
