Well, we stayed at Hotel Ripa for two nights after booking through another website and not reviewing trip advisor! That was our first mistake. We had a rental car and on the website it says you can park for 10 per day with a reservation. I emailed the hotel about 5 days before we arrived to book and never got... More

Hotel Ripa is situated on the river, ten minutes walk from the Guggenheim, a quick stroll over the bridge to the old town, and about ten minutes walk from the central shopping district. Bus stops and trams stops very near by as is the main train station. We stayed from Monday to Thursday and we found the hotel good for... More

Close to old town, good location overlooking the river. Not too friendly staff. I have asked for another room because the other was at the back. They had this nice room in front overlooking the river at same price, but they put me first in another. Not too clean either. I had to ask for a clean protector.

Me and my partner stayed at Ripa Hotel for two days in August. The hotel has a very good location, overlooking the river and is a short pleasant walk to the Guggenheim Musuem. It was noisy at night like what others said but we dont blame this as it was the during the Aste Festival, and its loud and happening... More

I stayed at this hostel/ hotel for 3 nights over bank holiday while everyone was enjoying Royal Wedding back in London. The hotel is situated on the Embankment conveniently close to everything tourist might need in Bilbao. Guggenheim Museum, Casco Viejo, Mouya – everything is within pleasant walking distance. The closest Metro station is Abando, Santander Bus station is across... More

We stayed here for three nights. My first impression was that it smelled of smoke and seemed slightly unclean. Our room was on the street side and if you were to stay here, I would recommend requesting a room on the other side. The noise during the night was constant with a bar right underneath going until the small hours... More

Good central location & good value for money. Our room was at the back so had no view with a window looking at a brick wall. But it was fine as the front rooms are noisier due to the regae bar below the hotel. Ear plugs were required for me but otherwise this was good value in a good location.

Having read some negative reviews on this hotel, we took the chance anyway, as we were in a bit of a rush, and just wanted a bed for the night. We we pleasantly surprised. the hotel was,clean, close to train staion,our room was very quiet room. we are happy to recommend this small hotel to all who need something simple,... More

I recently called Hotel Ripa in Bilbao to book two nights for my 61 year old mother, who was travelling on her own and looking forward to her trip. I called on March 16th 2004 and confirmed a single room for two nights, with bathroom and requested an outside room (as the inside ones are apparently dull). I then emailed... More
