Hotel Ria de Bilbao

The hotel is situated in a quiet area, fairly near the main attractions if you don't mind walking for 30 minutes...The caretaker was really really helpful... It has a relaxed friendly atmosphere. The rooms are small and adequate. The dining sitting area is communal - like a hostal. I think it is good value... not smart, just fine.

For a reasonably cheap hotel, we thought that it was very comfortable and good value for money.

The only thing that we would mention was the noise from the factory behind the hotel.

Room facilities were clean and adequate with bathroom in good order. Included breakfast is bread/pastries/jam/cheese/meat and tea/coffee/fake oj. For the price it's a fair location, but a good walk from the likely points of interest for holiday trips (Guggenheim 2km, 1.5km to nearest metro). Quiet location, double glazing. On-site garage with own access (10E/night+50E bond).

Paper thin walls and doors. Internal noise (and this is Spain, the country of midnight revellers) travels throughout; Not for the light sleeper. Hard mattresses and pillows. Non-working room safe. Wifi costs 5E extra. Unless you have/use a car, it's only serviced by a bus every 30 min. or a taxi you'd need to call for.

We really appreciated the helpfullness of the hotel staff. It is easy to find, has good car parking and relatively well placed to access Bilbao city ccentre

The hotel staff was very nice. We were on a two week holiday and stayed one night in Bilbao. This hotel was not our favorite but the hotel staff was very nice.

The room was very small.
