- "Beautiful. Well designed. Great location. Excellent service" - "Great location, lovely facilities and friendly staff. We've stayed here twice and will come back if we are back in Bilbao." - "Had a lovely short stay at the Hotel Miro in Bilbao after some travel delays turned two nights into one night. The front desk ensured my room was not cancelled when I couldn't make the first night, so all was set when I checked in the next day. Room was a bit on the smaller side, but not unexpected for a "small room" designation. Bed was on the firm side, but I prefer that, so didn't mind. Also, got a complimentary ticket to the Guggenheim from the front desk, so that was a lovely surprise."
