Everything was perfect except I hadn't understood that our room that we had booked was an "interior" room which meant that the window overlooked the central aircon units and not the street so was fairly claustrophobic. Shower and towels spectacular, breakfast good and staff friendly and helpful. Great location in the old town and opposite my favourite store Desigual !!!

We stayed in the Petit Palace as a base for exploring Bilbao and the region and very pleased with the choice. The location is fantastic, on the edge of the old town. There is a train/metro station a couple of minutes away and it's a pleasant 25 minute riverside stroll to the Guggenheim. The building is old but the rooms have been well modernised with very good bathroom/shower. The staff are all helpful and friendly, we had the daily breakfast which was a good way to start the day. Our room faced the road but noise wasn't an issue and we even had a small balcony. For a city break base would definitely recommend.

More low budget than anticipated. Needed to use two lifts to get to our 4th floor room. Rooms were spartan... and felt 'cheap'. However, they served their purpose. Certainly the most 'budget' of our experiences across Spain. Felt like we paid too much for what it was... although the location was great. Front staff were friendly, but there was only one. So, it could easily get congested and make it difficult to obtain any support.
