We needed a hotel to catch an early morning flight and it did the job. Staff was very friendly, rooms were spacious and needed everything you may need for a good night sleep. The free airport shuttle was certainly a plus.

This hotel is difficult to reach despite being close to the airport. Bilbao city is only a 16-minute drive from the airport, so it’s better to book there and enjoy what the city has to offer. The hotel is located next to a highway, so you’ll hear the noise from the traffic. The soundproofing is poor, meaning you can hear your upstairs neighbor, the room next door, and even music from the hallway. There are no interesting facilities at the hotel, and nothing exciting in the surrounding area.

when I left the hotel wanting to go airport transfer, unfortunately the driver got behind the wheel, without opening the passenger door or luggage space, and drove off. Got help from the reception to order a taxi. Have stayed at this hotel 20-30 times and know the procedures, otherwise satisfied with the hotel

Close to airport, shuttle to and from airport. Can shuttle to airport to catch bus to go into/come back. "Couch/cot" cover had spots and was very flimsy.

The hotel was really good. Even if it was close to the airport you didnt hear the plane. The breakfast was more than satisfying and the room was good to.

Key features, why to choose airport hotel were fullfilled nicely. Bathroom and toilet had only shower curtain, and dusch water spread to larger area. No tool to dry the area, and ensure smoother usage otherwise.

We selected the hotel since we had an early morning flight. The room was fine, but we were disappointed that the included breakfast which began at 5 am was not fully set up so we were not able to enjoy a real meal prior to our departure.
