Most rooms are Standard Twin or Double Rooms with a single or queen-size bed, accommodating up to three people—four rooms on the top floor offer large, unfurnished balconies. Although city-facing rooms provide more sunlight, they also have higher noise levels, whereas interior-facing rooms offer quieter stays. Bathrooms are compact but functional, with a bath-shower combo and basic amenities, though taller guests might find the space a bit tight.

Family-Friendliness

Although the hotel welcomes children of all ages and offers infant cribs, it isn't particularly family-oriented. All rooms are standard, and there are no specific amenities for children. However, connecting rooms are available for larger groups, making it a viable option for families seeking a practical base in Bilbao.
