Kitchens that actually work
Each unit has a stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, electric kettle, and a full set of kitchenware. It is genuinely possible to cook properly here, which separates this place from properties with a token kitchenette.
Studios and apartments
The Deluxe Studio runs to 38 m² with an inner courtyard view. The Deluxe Apartment is 48 m² with a separate bedroom, a living room sofa bed, and a city view — enough room for a small family to spread out.
Pet-friendly, with parking
The property accepts pets and has private parking in a nearby garage, reservable in advance at €24 per day. Both are rare enough in Bilbao's central hotels to be worth flagging if either applies to your trip.
