Hotel Ria de Bilbao

The place was clean, modern and comfortable. The staff were very helpful. Particularly the breakfast staff. The lady who was working (unfortunately I did not get her name) was just delightful and a pleasure to chat with.

The walk to the property does it no justice as it is under construction. We were not sure what to expect! However don’t let that fool you. It is a lovely clean, modern place to stay.

Easy to find. Comfortable bed. Clean sheets, towels. Lovely modern looking bathroom. Breakfast was adequate and very reasonably priced - actually they seem to include breakfast in the price for everyone. I was given breakfast free, but even at the listed €5 it's fair value. I've seen a few complaints here about the breakfast and it was fine - typical basic continental style breakfast. There was tea, coffee, juice, breakfast cereals, pre-wrapped buns, fresh bread for toasting, butter, jams, pate.

There was nothing I didn't like about the place itself. It had a slight disadvantage in that it was a good fifteen minutes walk from the main city centre and a ten minute walk from restaurants. There's a lot of building work going on at the moment in the area but that doesn't affect the place. In fact, I would say that when the work is finished this area will be very attractive for visitors to Bilbao.

great staff friendly and helpful, clean and tidy room

a bit walk to the centre and noisy music bar/club across the river

a good clean well managed hotel, with local transport available.
