We chose this due to the high ratings on Tripadvisor. We had a hard time finding this place and getting in because you are supposed to call when you arrive so someone can meet you. We didn't bring our cell phones to Europe and we will lucky the lady at the nearby Arriaga Hotel called for someone to meet us (there is no connection between these two hotels). The hostess let us in and found a coffee maker and wine opener for us. This is a "suite" as opposed to hotel-apartment. She couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. The bed was so comfortable, the best we had during our month stay in France & Spain.
Our room didn't have any sort of view and was a little dark. However, it was quiet and we slept well. The suite was very modern and clean.

Beautiful building in the old part of Bilbao. The outside original and the inside modern appartments. When we arrived, the fridge was a little dirty, but as soon as we mentioned this it was cleaned.The weather was quite warm which was lucky and unlucky, because the appartment had no airconditioning and it got quite hot during the time we were there. All considering I think it was a little too expensive for what you get. But if you want to be central in Bilbao during a spring or autumn it is nog a bad place to stay.

We had the room at the back of the apartments which was a lovely size. It had a front room that we really didn't need or use and then a lovely sized bedroom and nice bathroom. It was very clean.
The apartments are in a great location, near the tram stop and on a main street of the old town close to the pintox bars and restaurants.
Bilbao isn't huge so it was very easy to get around easily if you have this as a base.

Convenient location near teatro, only 1 minute walk from arriaga tram stop ( which easily links to Guggenheim and terminus bus station) and less than 5 minte walk to the main train station which is located just across the river.

Stayed in the JC Arriaga suite which unlike the other 4 rooms is smaller and does not ontain a fridge, microwave or a lounge ... But it is also less expensive, which as a single traveller was attractive. In retrospect I would probably opt for greater space and a fridge though.

The room was well designed,with good storage space and a largish user friendly bathroom with shower. Extremely comfortable bed, range of pillows and good quality large bath towels. Good lighting for reading.

The room was cleaned daily, and well maintained

Windows open into central well in appt block. Can be a bit stifling in hot weather without cooling.

There is no-one on site usually outside 11 am -2pm, but if arriving outside these hours someone will meet you

I was met by a lady who had limited English ( but still markedly better than my even more limited Spanish), if there is anything she can't clarify she simply rings the owner who is most helpful. Owner- operator speaks good English and can be easily contacted by phone
