Fodor's "The Meliá is filled with contemporary art and a collection of Spanish ship models, including miniaturized versions of vessels constructed in the city's historic shipyards." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"A bold, creative design inspired by Eduardo Chillida, utilizing Iranian pink marble and rusty garnet tones for the exterior, and green and white marble in the bathrooms."
Star Service "While it remains one of the best of the midrange commercial hotels in the city, its ability to capture Bilbao's vibrancy is commendable. No one will ever call this straightforward business hotel bland." Full review
Michelin Guide "Menu: 25€ - Carte: 37€-42€"

Lonely Planet "This well-kept number has nice carved wooden wardrobes in the rooms and lots of exposed wooden roof beams. The cheerful owner is very helpful and all up it offers great value." Full review
Rough Guide "Clean, functional rooms, not all of them en suite, with uninspiring but decent furnishings and dark wood floors; the fourth floor is preferable to the second-floor annexe."
