Bilbao rooms & kitchen Santutxu
Really nice room in a nice neighbourhood. Even though I stayed on a Friday night, there wasn't much noise after midnight. I stayed during a heatwave and the air condition was amazing! The water pressure in the shower was perfect too! If I go ever go to Bilbao again, I will try to stay here.

Hotel ILUNION Bilbao
Clean and comfort but is more like a business hotel than a holiday location. Staff seemed polite but not especially friendly
