“Hotel Ripa's prime advantage is its location, a stone's throw from Bilbao's old town bustle and key transport links. I think it's a practical choice if you prioritize exploring the city and want a clean, well-priced base; internal rooms might be a bit dim, but you'll likely be out enjoying Bilbao's cafe culture anyway.”
