Siempre es un placer hospedarse en cualquier hotel de la cadena, pero esta vez toco Bilbao y la experiencia ha sido realmente grata. En especial resaltar el servicio de David y Guillermo en recepción ya que le volvi loco con la reserva. Julen y Luca (comedor) y a Julio (cocina) que nos hizo unas toetillas buenisimas. Da gusto encontrarse con equipos así, que hacen que la estancia sea todavia mejor.

Mit Abstand das beste Hotel in dem ich je übernachtet habe. Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral in der Innenstadt und ist mit allen Verkehrsmitteln inkl. Auto schnell und unkompliziert zu erreichen. Es gibt eine eigene Tiefgarage, die gegen Aufpreis genutzt werden kann. Die Lobby ist gigantisch! Sie ist dekoriert mit hängenden Steinen und extrem hoch. Es gibt zahlreiche Sitzgelegenheiten und kostenloses Wasser. Der Empfang ist sehr herzlich und durchweg freundlich. Ein Mitarbeiter hat uns direkt angeboten, unser Gepäck auf unser Zimmer zu bringen. Als positiv zu bewerten ist auch der Ausblick beim fahren mit dem Aufzug. Die Zimmer sind extrem groß und sehr luxuriös. Meine Frau hatte Geburtstag, also hatte ich dem Hotel vorher eine Nachricht mit der bitte übersandt, eine Kleinigkeit auf dem Zimmer vorzubereiten. Es lag eine handgeschriebene Karte im Zimmer und ein kleiner Kuchen. Danke dafür, wir haben uns sehr gefreut! Das Bett ist sehr groß und bequem. Das Badezimmer besaß 2 Waschbecken, eine Dusche sowie eine Badewanne. Außerdem Toilette und Bidet. Die Fliesen sind aus Marmor. Außerdem gab es eine separate Schiebetür, worin man sein Gepäck verstauen konnte. Sehr schönes Zimmer! Das Hotel bietet auch viele weitere Möglichkeiten, die den Aufenthalt angenehm gestalten. Neben einem eigenen Fitnessstudio und einer Sauna, gab es auch einen beheizten Pool im 6. Stockwerk mit Blick auf die Stadt, welcher durch uns am Abend auch direkt getestet wurde. Die gesamte Einrichtung und jegliche Bereiche sind sehr gepflegt, neuwertig und vor allem Sauber. Wir haben auch das Hoteleigene Restaurant ausprobiert. Die Preise sind für ein so exzellentes Hotel moderat und die Auswahl groß. Das Essen war ebenfalls sehr lecker. Im großen und ganzen ein super Hotel für einen ausgezeichneten Preis. Wir haben selten so einen angenehmen Aufenthalt erlebt. Vielen Dank!
