NYX Hotel Bilbao by Leonardo Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"We upgraded to a junior suite and it was a great little space made from an odd shape. It had great bed and shower. The little seating area had two chairs, one which could be pulled out for a child’s bed. The seat was too deep to just sit in but good for curling up in. However, the room also had a large window that actually opened up to a tiny deck which offered a great view of the street below! The bar/breakfast was very nice as well as all the staff. Also, this was a great location to do whatever! We totally enjoyed our stay."
