I had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel in the heart of Bilbao's old town. The location was perfect for exploring the city, with a vibrant atmosphere right outside the door. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making for a pleasant experience overall. However, the Wi-Fi was quite poor, which was disappointing. Thankfully, I found plenty of charming coffee shops nearby for breakfast, although the hotel didn't provide any dining options.
