Overnight stay for the airport
Stayed here simply because we needed a hotel near the airport and for this it was perfect. It’s a large impersonal hotel with basic rooms. It had a bar and restaurant serving average food but the free shuttle in the morning was much appreciated.

This could have been a better stay as the room was very nice and fresh, recently refurbished, affordable, and conveniently located close to the airport. Free parking as well, but don't expect much more than a bar and some sad-looking tapas if you're hungry, and there's nothing close by to get a bite. I drove around quite a while looking, and ended up having a glass of wine and crisps for dinner at the hotel bar. Everything worked very well in the room and was well thought out, EXCEPT the door. You can hear a whisper outside, and people kept coming until the wee hours, waking me up. If an entire soccer team shows up at midnight, make sure they don't have a party outside your door, but really, it wouldn't have been such a problem if the door had been well insulated from noise. This is important for a hotel so that its guests are not disturbed every time someone walks by. Being able to sleep well is the primary purpose when staying at a hotel, isn't it? I stayed in 5 hotels during this 2-week trip and did not encounter any noise issues, so this poor insulation door issue stood out. You can see gaps all around it. Fix it, and I would have given you four stars. Add some better food in the bar, serve coffee at 7 am, and I would have given you five stars:)

Perfecto for one stay near airport, carry your own body wash and shampoo with, there’s no good hygiene supplies. A bit overpriced stay, but you can have free ride to the airport if you make a reservation on time.

Nice Place
The inside of the hotel is not what you would expect when seeing the exterior. The rooms are very roomy and clean and very modern. We stayed our last night in Bilbao before returning home here and we enjoyed it.

Not a bad choice and if you want somewhere close to airport then fine. Also you can walk into the small town of Daria (10 mins0 which is fine with a couple of nice pubs. Would have given 4 but felt a bit misled by the claim of “free airport transfer” - yes this is true but only between the hours of 5am and 10am. So if you come in later of do not need to go back later you need to get a taxi from the airport. I got stung for 20 euros from airport (5 mins) and it was 15 coming back. So factor this in to the cost.

Great airport hotel
Check in was quick and easy, and arranging a shuttle for the airport when I checked in was simple as well. They took the initiative to call our room in the morning to make sure we were on our way.
Having some more information online on the restaurant would be great though, so we could plan for food

The building is very nice, the elevators a bit noisy, but offer a nice view while going up or down. The room was comfortable, the staff courteous enough, though seemed a bit odd. The foot in the restaurant was wonderful.

Terrible sewer smell in the room. The front desk told us that the hotel was full. We checked out early as we could not stand the smell.
