Sercotel Ayala Bilbao, Bilbao

• The hotel is a decent choice if you're traveling by train, as it's less than one block from Bilbao's central station.
• You can walk almost anywhere, as all the major sites are within 15 minutes, including the Guggenheim Museum and Old Town, with all the famous pintxos bars.
• The hotel is very modern and stylish, and even some of the rooms feel a bit luxurious, which is a nice perk for a 4-star property.
• All the rooms have a pillow menu, so you can request what is best for you. 
• Daily breakfast is served in a cozy dining area, offering a huge buffet featuring locally sourced food—and if you need to leave early, you can request an "early riser coffee service."
• There's also a lobby bar and lounge area, plus parking directly across the street.

• The central location is a perk, but it can get busy and noisy.
• Though the breakfast buffet is impressive, it's a bit expensive.
