Unbelievable Hotel in Bilbao, Spain: You HAVE to See This!
Unbelievable Hotel in Bilbao: Seriously, You HAVE to See This! (My Unfiltered Take)
Okay, let's be real. "Unbelievable Hotel" in Bilbao? The name itself is a bold claim. I went in with a raised eyebrow and a slightly cynical heart. But, hold onto your hats, because this place… this place actually delivered. Prepare for a rollercoaster of accessibility, spa bliss, and maybe just a touch of "wow, did I just accidentally stumble into a luxury movie set?"
Accessibility: A Big Win, Really!
Before I dive into the fun stuff, let's talk about something important: Accessibility. I have to give them major props. The hotel's clearly put thought into this. Wheelchair accessible common areas? Check. Elevator access to all floors? Double check. They even have facilities for disabled guests that are noticeably well-thought-out, not just a checkbox afterthought. That's huge. Seriously, it's a relief to see a hotel actually prioritize this. Makes the whole experience instantly less stressful.
Room to Breathe (and Stream Netflix!)
My room? Oh man, the room. First of all, Wi-Fi [free] and actually reliable? (Yes, people, I'm talking about your average hotel Wi-Fi woes being banished into the digital ether!) They offer Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! which is a lifesaver, even if it’s a standard for modern hotels. Plus, if you're like me and sometimes need a hardwired connection for serious work (or a binge-watching session), there's Internet access – LAN too. Smart. They think of everything! I even had a laptop workspace… because, bills, gotta pay 'em! And the air conditioning fought off the Spanish heat like a champ. My room had an extra long bed, perfect for sprawling, and even a seating area where I could sip my complimentary free bottled water and attempt to decipher a travel guide.
And let's not forget the little things that make a big difference: Blackout curtains. I swear, those things practically teleported me to dreamland. And the soundproofing? Blissful. No late-night hallway shenanigans to interrupt my beauty sleep.
Sanitation & Safety - They're Obsessed! (In a Good Way!)
Look, we're all hyper-aware of cleanliness these days. But Unbelievable Hotel takes it to a whole other level. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and the fact that they’ve implemented professional-grade sanitizing services… they're not messing around. My room felt pristine. And let's not forget the hand sanitizer everywhere. Everywhere! They even have hot water linen and laundry washing. And if you’re worried about getting a close encounter with a sneeze? Physical distancing of at least 1 meter is standard.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Foodie Heaven (and a Budget-Friendly Surprise!)
Right, confession time: I'm a sucker for a good breakfast. And Unbelievable Hotel delivered. Breakfast [buffet] with a ridiculous amount of options? Yes, please! There was everything from the classic Western breakfast to some intriguing Asian breakfast delights. And don't fret, the coffee/tea in restaurant and coffee shop provided the caffeine fix needed to conquer jet lag. You can also get your order in advance and have Breakfast takeaway service.
But here’s the kicker: the a la carte in restaurant options were surprisingly affordable. It's not just about the quality; it's about getting value for your hard-earned Euros. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was exceptional, and I'm still dreaming about the dessert!
Spa Day: My Near-Religious Experience
Okay, I went full-on spa-hog. I'll admit it. They have a Spa, Spa/sauna, and steamroom. I spent an unholy amount of time in the sauna. I indulged in a Body scrub and Body wrap and, I may have, MAY HAVE, accidentally fallen asleep during a massage. (Don't judge! It was glorious.) The Pool with view was simply stunning. I think I'm a convert now. They have a swimming pool and a swimming pool [outdoor]. You'll never want to leave!
Things to Do: Beyond the Walls
Yeah, the hotel is awesome but Bilbao is awesome too! They have a concierge who can point you in the right direction (if you ever want to leave the spa, that is!). And the city is a short walk away, right?
The Imperfections (Because Nobody's Perfect)
Alright, time for some real talk. The check-in process, while generally smooth, took a few extra minutes. And while the staff were overwhelmingly helpful, there was one instance where I had to repeat myself about a dietary restriction. Minor blips, absolutely, but worth mentioning.
The Verdict: Book. It. Now.
Listen, I'm not easily impressed. But Unbelievable Hotel actually impressed me. It's a place where accessibility is truly respected, the spa is next-level, and the food won't break the bank. It truly lives up to its name.

Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: The Netherlands' Hidden Gem, 't Voorhuys!
Okay, buckle up, buttercup! This isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is… ME IN BILBAO! Let's see if I survive this, shall we? Hotel Puerta de Bilbao, here I come (fingers crossed it's not haunted!).
BILBAO BONANZA: A (Highly Unreliable) Log of My Spanish Shenanigans
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread (aka Getting My Bearings)
Morning (Oh, the Dread): Landed in Bilbao. The airport was… well, an airport. Standard. My luggage? Apparently, it’s still on the road trip of a lifetime, arriving “sometime this century.” (Insert dramatic eye roll here). Thank heavens for the tiny emergency kit I packed, mostly consisting of deodorant and a slightly crumpled emergency chocolate bar, currently residing in my carry-on.
Afternoon (Taxi Troubles & Hotel Hysteria): Found a taxi. Found the hotel (thank you, Google Maps, you magnificent beast!). Checked into Hotel Puerta de Bilbao. It's… decent. Clean enough. The wallpaper in my room is doing some interesting things with the light – I'm half-expecting to see a demon or two lurking. Praying it’s just Spanish architecture, though that’s debatable. A whole different flavor entirely.
The Unpacking Debacle (Emotional Breakdown): Okay, so no luggage. No problem, right? Wrong. This is where the existential dread truly kicks in. I'm standing here, in what feels like my pyjamas, staring at the world with a gaping maw of emptiness. I've got nothing but the clothes on my back (and a tiny stash of emergency snacks). I consider sobbing. Instead, I take a deep breath (and another bite of that chocolate).
Evening (Tapas Tango - or, Oh God, I'm All Alone): Forced myself to explore. Found a tapas bar near the hotel (La Viña del Ensanche, if you're interested - and if you're lucky enough to get a seat). The pintxos were ridiculously good. Like, seriously, mind-blowingly good. The txuleta (grilled steak) was a revelation. But… I was alone. Sat at the bar. Started practicing my awkward Spanish. Ordered a txakoli (crisp, bubbly white wine). Took a picture, then promptly spilled some down my front. Classy. This isn't "Eat, Pray, Love." This is "Eat, Spill, Regret Being So Clumsy." And still, I did have the best pintxos I have ever had.
Night (Sleep, Please, Just Sleep): Back at the hotel. The wallpaper is still mocking me. Tried to watch a movie. Fell asleep halfway through, dreaming about luggage. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Probably not.
Day 2: Guggenheim Dreams, Art Attack, and a Serious Coffee Addiction Begins.
Morning (Guggenheim Glory - with a Side of Panic): Today's the big one: The Guggenheim! The anticipation has been building for weeks. I woke up in what feels like a pre-dawn anxiety attack. (I need a vacation from my vacation - is that a thing?) So, I dragged myself out of bed, the wallpaper seemingly delighted by my misery, and marched, determined, towards the Guggenheim. And man, it's impressive. The design… the scale… the sheer "wow-ness" of it all. But, crowds. Oh, the crowds. And the art? Some I loved, some… well, let's just say I'm not an expert in conceptual art. But the sheer beauty of that giant building itself more than made up for it. Had to be pulled away.
Afternoon (Lost in the Casco Viejo & Coffee Catastrophe): Wandered into the Casco Viejo (Old Town). Got completely, utterly, gloriously lost. In a good way. The narrow streets, the vibrant life, the smell of… well, everything! Found a tiny, hidden-away coffee shop. Ordered a caffeine boost of life (apparently, it's a flat white with a shot of something that seems like espresso) and promptly spilled half of it down my new shirt (bought, thankfully, from a tiny shop that mostly smells of freshly baked bread). I'm starting to think I have an allergy of some sort. To clothes. Or gravity. Or joy.
The Coffee Disaster…Again: Okay, so I'll just say it. My coffee consumption is rapidly spiraling out of control. Like, "twitchy-eyelid-thinking-about-coffee-at-3am" out of control. This afternoon turned into a coffee scavenger hunt. I was looking for the best coffee, and maybe some churros to fix my life. I have found the best cafe in the world and an amazing patisserie, and the churros really did fix my life, but unfortunately, I tripped and spilled again. I need serious help.
Evening (Failed Culinary Adventure & Early Night): Attempted to cook something in my room (remember, no luggage?). Disaster. Utter, complete, gastronomical carnage. Ended up eating the emergency chocolate bar for dinner. Sleep. I hope.
Day 3: The Beach, The Bike, and the Battle Within
Morning (Escape To The Coast): Decided I needed out. Packed, what I hope, are the essentials (more chocolate). Took a train to Sopelana. The coast! The beach! The air! It was stunning. So much space. So much freedom. Walked the entire stretch of the beach. Felt very small. Very important. Very… at peace, even. (For a brief moment).
Afternoon (Bike of Doom): Okay, so I thought renting a bike was a good idea. Wrong. The bike was rusty, the gears clunky, and I almost crashed into a group of nuns. The scenery was breathtaking though - and I didn't die! (That's a win, right?)
The Battle Within (Rambling and Waffle-filled Confessions): The rest of this afternoon was spent wrestling with my inner demons. I am really, really not good at being alone. The silence, the constant need to entertain myself… it’s exhausting. I miss my people. I miss my cat (who is, admittedly, probably judging my life choices right now). I keep catching myself feeling…desperate? Pathetic? Whatever it is, it sucks.
Early Evening (Back to Bilbao, Feeling…Less Disaster-Prone?): Back at the hotel. The wallpaper is… less mocking. Got a late-night dinner at a very small pintxos bar near the hotel, one the staff had recommended. Amazing pulpo a la gallega (octopus). And… I actually started to enjoy myself. I smiled. Talked to a local at the bar. Found some comfort in their friendly, easy conversation. Maybe, just maybe, this solo travel thing isn’t going to completely break me.
Ongoing Considerations and Imperfections:
- Luggage Status: Still MIA. (But I have hope! I do!)
- Spanish Skills: Still shaky. (Mostly involving apologies for my terrible grammar).
- Spillage Count: At least 5 incidents. (Working on that.)
- Emotional State: Fluctuating. (But hey, that's life, right?)
- Coffee Consumption: Highly classified: I can't tell you the exact number.
- The Wallpaper: Still judging, on the daily.
Okay, that's enough for now. Let's see if I survive the rest of this Bilbao adventure. Wish me luck! Or just send chocolate. Both are welcome.
