This innovatively designed hotel is very well located for exploring on foot all the main sights of the city, and is close to the river in the old part of central Bilbao.

Being situated in a pedestrian street, the hotel is surrounded by the charming atmosphere of the most historic part of the city. The train station is also only 5 minutes away.

The hotel was very nice and quiet. They also offered a very nice inexpensive breakfast. The location was perfect in Casco Viejo- close to restaurants, cafes, boutiques and walking distance to train station and Guggenheim museum.

    A great location for the old town. Well designed public areas. The hotel had a good atmosphere. It has a sensible balance between a boutique/designer type feel but being very practical and user friendly. Very friendly staff. Nice ground floor bar and breakfast room ( restaurant later on). Rooms are well designed. Reasonable sized bathroom. The breakfasts were very good with a bit of variety over the four days we were there.

    Beautiful design and excellent service from the Amari Team, from communicating on booking.com to recommendation of places to eat, go and the best is arriving by airport bus (3 euro) takes only 20 to 25 mins and the first stop is just outside the boutique hotel. I highly recommend and would stay again.

    A lovely small boutique hotel right in the middle of the Casco viejo (old town). The rooms are nicely designed and filled with character. The staff couldn't have been nicer. The front door to the hotel opens right into the busy bustle of the old town but the windows are well glazed to keep the noise to a minimum once inside. There are many cafes and restaurants very near by. Great air con.
