She was very helpful in everything directions dinner taxi
I will to have hosts like Michaela in every hotel which we stay
We will her the best
Lovely hotel, excellent breakfast, friendly staff, big room with blackout curtains and a great shower. In the bathroom is shower gel, moisturiser, shampoo, and conditioner.
The bus to town is right outside and lots of parking space if you have a car.
Just a 12 minute walk to the lovely old town.
From the centre you can get a bus to the Gaztelugatxe walk (Game of Thrones) which takes and hour.
There is free tea and coffee in the bedrooms and a water fountain in the hallway with room temperature, iced, or sparkling water.
There’s also free wi-fi and a free gym (on the first floor).
The staff are friendly and multi-lingual.
Very big room which was comfortable and quiet, the bathroom was big as well but the shower was too small for an adult.
Breakfast was very good but the dinner menu was very dissappointing with poor menu and quality.
We had an excellent stay at HGB.The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent and definitely worth the price. The room was very clean and comfortable. The location is not ideal, but not bad, either, and for the price it's worth walking a bit more to get to to where all the Bilbao action is.
Poor service, unpleasant strong fragrance in reception and hallways which gave us a headache. Didn’t feel like a four star hotel, 3 at best. Rooms and particularly bathroom watching not cleaned well.
We were taken aback when we were provided with a disabled room upon early check-in without being informed beforehand. We absolutely understand and respect the necessity of accessible rooms for guests in need, and we would have been more than willing to wait for a standard room if necessary. However, it was disappointing that the staff did not communicate this to us beforehand.
Nice hotel with a good bar in the lobby and a decent restaurant. The room was spacious and clean but lacked in interior decorating - a couple of pictures on the walls was about all. The biggest downside was that the room was hot at night as, like others we encountered on this trip, they had the heat on with no option for air conditioning. The explanation that the AC is programmed to start in mid May is weak as there have been consistent heat waves in February and April. If you are driving to the hotel and need to drop off your rental car at the airport my recommendation is to drop off your bags with the concierge, leaving the car on the small concrete apron near the front door for a few minutes, then check in when you return from the airport.
Hotel is modern and spotlessly clean. Room was large and bed very comfortable. Restaurant offers fantastic breakfast buffet, best I've ever seen. Overall, the best hotel experience I've ever had.
Woke up after the first night covered in hair, someone else's hair. How utterly disgusting that they didn't clean the bedding.
Solo traveller so of course they stuck me right by the lift, must be a hotel rule, they all do it.
Was give two single beds (for one person?!?!?!) Instead of a double. Insulting.
The whole hotel feels hollow and unwelcoming. Really disappointed and no where near worth the money I paid
Desk staff were kind and helpful, the hotels only saving grace.
