Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Abando enjoys a convenient location near the Guggenheim Museum, putting guests within easy reach of the city's attractions. Many appreciate the modern, spacious rooms, some featuring details like a river walk picture as a headboard, and find the beds very comfortable. Though the hotel bar is surprisingly affordable, some guests have occasionally found the rooms a bit basic for a 4-star experience. You can expect a varied breakfast with hot options.

breakfast offered a great variety of choices in buffet style. the location was excellent. staff members at the reception were helpful and assisted with various requests. the hotel provided secure parking just a short walk away.

dark room delight!

really good darkness cute receptionist river walk picture
I loved the really good darkness in my room. After extensive travel, this room provided the best darkness i have ever experienced! the receptionist was super cute. i had arrived one hour before check-in, and they quickly allocated me a room after a long walk. i also really liked the river walk picture as a headboard and the library books for the wall.
The air conditioning lacked remote control. I had to get out of bed to adjust settings like on and off or fan speed. i could only adjust the speed, not the temperature.

adequate stay, some disappointments

poor soundproofing noisy air conditioning
however, i encountered a couple of issues that detracted from the experience. the soundproofing was quite poor. I could clearly hear noise from the corridor and other rooms. also, the air conditioning was barely adjustable and became noisy, which wasn't ideal.
