Very judgemental service
I had chosen this hotel because it was central and had very good reviews and offer value for money. However, I soon realised they were very judgemental as I was with my brother, who lives locally and presents as a free spirit person. On arrival I offered to pay for the 3 night stay but I was told to pay at the end of my stay. On the first morning of our stay, a Sunday morning at 9am, we were woken up by the strong sound of 2 police officers in plain clothes who were knocking on the door. I was shocked by this and asked what was happening 😳 then they told me that they were taking my brother to sort out a diligence. I was left unsure of what was happening and why or how long they would keep him. Luckily, by 12pm he was back in the hotel, but he realised the police had kept his wallet with the keys and bank cards. I was left thinking why they had to do that on a Sunday morning when they knew ww were staying until Tuesday. I also later found out from my brother that they wanted him to attend a court hearing on a driving offence that happened months ago. Then sudenly the hotel decided to take the money. From there on, I didn't really trust them.I asked them how the police knew we were at the hotel and why they didn't call us to come to reception. I was told that they always share information with the police on all the guests staying at their hotel. Furthermore, they said this is a normal procedure for hotels to inform the police on the identity of their guests.

Close to the train station and very clean, neat, quiet-just like a 4 star hotel should be. It was very comfortable. We'd easily stay here again.

Nice and clean rooms. Great location. Approachable staff Need to improve: sustainable internet connection. The hotel stops using AC as of Oct which is not optimal since the Neighborhood is noisy in case we open the window. The acoustics and isolation of the noise - you can hear noise from one room to another, and no way to close the door without making a big noise

The location was excellent, right in the heart of everything. The bedroom was spacious. A couple of more sockets would be ideal. The maids were very polite and friendly. The only negative was leaving the car outside the hotel while I had to go in to check in. The hotel suggest you have a ten minute free time, but if there is no parking space in the street this is impossible. A couple of designated spaces in front of the hotel would be great.

Great spacious room, all necessities and a stylish wall feature. We enjoyed the lemon water in the lobby - so needed after hours of walking and eating all the pinxos. The hotel is in a very fashionable area with lots of cafes and bars around, not to mention shops and stunning architecture. Wifi was alright - our zoom calls struggled a little but nothing terrible. Parking is a bit tricky to get to especially if you have a big car.

Relaxing stay in a busy city
Sat Nav took us straight there, then car parking very easy. Very comfortable room for 2 night stay. Nice large shower bathroom. Easy walk down to river to explore. Regular trains along the front. Short walk to the amazing Guggenheim Museum. A variety of restaurants nearby and all the main shops. Good choice of full buffet or small breakfast. All staff very friendly. Easy run to ferry port.

Conveniently located. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The air conditioner wasn't working so the hotel requested that we opened our window at night. The cold breeze entered but also the typical noise of the streets (drunk people shouting, brigades cleaning the street, etc.). Everybody deserves a second chance, we loved Bilbao and most likely will return to Abando hotel.

Not what I was expecting.
The only problem I had was my reservation stated it would be a city view and it was a light shaft instead. The location is excellent though.
