Traveling to Spain? Find Bilbao hotels

We only had one night in Bilbao and this is really a great choice for our booking. The hotel is easy to get to from the train station by taking the Metro. The airport bus is also just a 5mins walk away. It's about 15mins walk away from the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum and if you walk further towards the river, one will reach the Old Town. I love the spacious room and the large super twin bed. It's a very comfortable hotel and the staff are really friendly. Wish I could stay in Bilbao longer so I could also enjoy the facilities at Ilunion Bilbao more!

I like hotel that doesn't use carpet and has simple design. This hotel fits the bill. Staff was nice. Since my booking didn't include breakfast, the check-in staff promptly asked me if I want to include breakfast for a discounted amount. Bilbao is not a big city and I just walked everywhere. Post office is right on the next block on the right. A few blocks down on the left is the department store. The only thing you need to be aware of is the few steps in the room. I put a napkin on the step so that I can spot it to avoid a mishap.

Excellent. The room was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Very comfortable beds and loads of room in modern bathroom. Our only issues were we found the hotel was overheated and there was little room to get around in the bedroom. However these were minor issues which we dealt with. Staff were very efficient, friendly and helpful. In fact Bilbao as a whole was a great place to stay and this Hesperia hotel contributed to that great stay.

Jon and Sebastián at guest services went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. We were in the Basque region for a gastronomy tour and needed assistant getting to some of the restaurants. They arranged a mix of transportation modes from buses to drivers to minimize cost but maximize our comfort. They even dropped off different little gifts with each note of our request. The rooms were comfortable and located within walking distance of everything (Bilbao is not very big). Toiletries provided were of good quality so save some space as they provided everything but facial products.

The hotel is very pleasant with good modern facilities and very well situated for main Bilbao attractions. Staff delightful and helpful. However, next time I would insist on a room not facing the street. We discovered on our last night, a Thursday, that across the road is a huge music club - noisy large crowds on the road until 4 am and relief that we weren't staying over a weekend. Otherwise everything excellent.

My family had a really good stay in this hotel (2 rooms). Staff was lovely and helpful. One night we asked by phone for a wine opener and we got it in less than 2 minutes. The waiter didn't accept any tip at all. Little things that speak themselves about the hotel and staff quality. The hotel is 10 mins walking to the Gugenhaim musseum, 20 mins walking to the old city and just 5 mins walking to some Michelin Starts restaurants... The only thing to say is that the Soccer Stadium is in front of the hotel. This is being renewed with a massive construction. the access to the hotel street is closed. We didn't know it (and we were not informed by the staff even calling by phone the day before). We spent a lot of time finding the entry to the hotel. There is no noise at all in the rooms due to the construction though. I would stay again if I go back to Bilbao.

This is a large, modern hotel well placed in the city centre for exploring Bilbao on foot. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the area and much to see and do nearby. It is, however, quite impersonal and we thought more suited to business or conference guests. We would describe Reception staff as efficient rather than friendly. Our room, although clean and with a comfortable enough bed, was dull in its decor and quite gloomy: we were keen to get out into the city each morning! We also had a problem with the underground car park as it has steep gradients between levels which meant our vehicle ‘grounded’ negotiating them, and automatic gates which we only just squeezed under. Yes, we were driving a micro-motorhome but it is only the length of a small van and lower than most 4-WDs and People Carriers. Car parking was expensive.

Everything was perfect. At the check-in we got a perfect introduction of the city of Bilbao. Then we entered into our room which was quite and very clean. In the bathroom there was all the necessities (shampoo, tooth brash, shaver, etc.). And the breakfast was extraordinary. We never had a rich buffet like this. And what we also estimated very much that this hotel gave a handicapped young man a chance to having a job. This gentleman was responsible to refill the the liquids at the buffet. If we come back to Bilbao we definitely will stay again in this beautiful hotel, built in a Mexican style.

The Hotel Zenit Bilbao was easy to find via car. We were a little annoyed when we arrived as we has specifically requested a car space on our reservation and the car park was full so we had to park our hire car had to be parked on the street for the first night we stayed. We obtained a car space the second night we stayed and it cost us for the night, we thought this was expensive. The room was lovely and clean. It was easy to navigate your way around the city from here and there was a tram stop right out the front. There were lots of bars located roughly a 5 minute walk from the hotel and it took us approximately 15 mins to walk to the Guggienhiem Museam. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would go back again.

This place gets the highest rating of any place I have ever stayed at. 10/10 for everything. 1. Right in the centre of town. Good views from the balcony. 10 mins walk to Guggenheim. 15 mins walk to train station. Small supermarket just down the road. 2. Apartments on 6th floor so above street noise when you are out on the balcony. 3. Fully outfitted kitchenette with microwave and stovetop. Everything looks brand new. 4. Fancy shared washing machine which washes and dries in the same process. Washing powder supplied.. 5. I was given a code to access building and apartment on arrival at 1 in the morning. Once in the apartment there were swipe cards I could use.

Bilbao turns out to be not such a big city, it was easy to walk from the hotel to the old part across the bridge as well as to the Guggenheim museum. The funicular north of the river is a must also. It was a bit of a disappointment that all bars close at 11pm in Bilbao. The room was clean and staff was friendly. Make sure to come with a small car if you intend to use the parking in the basement. After entering the hotel you need to climb two stairs, so travelers with heavy luggage need to be prepared.

All day facing a Noisy street. At 12midnite --3 different kinds of rubbish truck will come to collect rubbish. There will be loud noises from the restaurant/bar and people disposing glass btles into the bins . Room was hot -- no air conditioning for the whole apartment, we had to request for a fan & its only available the next day . But The fan was not arrive as promised and we had to call again to ask for it the next day. The only good is its near the supermarket & metro.

We have recently retuned from a weekend break at this hotel and would have no problem recommending it to others. It is well located for all Bilbao has to offer.Appropriately priced for the facilities available,it is clean and well maintained throught out. The proximity to the river and the board walks to the old town and the Gugg are a welcome benefit for a stay here.

Walkable to most places; Guggenheim, old town and shopping areas. Though the street is quiet, within 1 minute, you can reach the essential tourist areas; eateries, shops, supermarket, grocers and train station. Room is spacious; no nasty noises at night. Bed is super comfortable. I managed to park my car at a public lot like 70m from the hotel. In August, all street parking is free. Not sure why but it is perfect.

I would never stay this hotel again or recommend anybody to stay in this hotel This is not due to hotel itself but due to frustrating staff We arrived in the hotel and rang the bell to ask staff open the door for us Even though we gave them booking number and my name, they said it is not important At the same time they said they could not do anything for unless we told them "establishment" They asked us "establishment" that we could not understand what does that mean If it was due to language barrier, they should have explained further to make us understand However, they just hang up the phone many times in the middle of the conversation Other spanish person on the street helped us but did not work also which means that it was not even language issue We were outside 1 hour to just get in the hotel No one came downstair and checked their guests outside No one apologised I know why it happened. In Spain, even if you book some hotel, sometimes one guy has multiple hotel but advertise in AGODA as if they advertise as if one hotel. This happened us the other time too from this webpage This is budget and I do not expect much But this is minimum to be able to check in at the first place even with budget hotel Be aware, if you want to stay here

Pension Manoli was fairly average for budget accommodation. Couldn't ask for a better location (basically next door to Plaza Nueva) but an uncomfortable bed (gave my partner a back ache), loud neighbours and an overall feeling of shadiness (we had to pay in cash, hostel isn't advertised outside on the street) somewhat upset the experience. The lady who took care of us was very nice though, and the room and shared bathroom was always clean. It's a shame we had to climb stairs to get to the hostel, especially exhausting as it's on the fourth floor! No food or drink options, from what we could tell. I certainly wouldn't tell anyone to book elsewhere - just be aware it's not perfect.

Basque Boutique was the best hotel we stayed in during our 2 weeks in Spain. Our room was styled based on Picasso's Gernika, and a pleasure to spend time in. While not a large room, it lacked nothing and has a small balccony that looks out onto the street below, Pilota Kalea. Located in the old town, Casco Viejo, it is noisy and lively into the early hours, but we were there in winter so had the balcony doors closed and the sound insulation was great at keeping out the late night sounds. (I also recommend travelling with silicone earplugs). Casco Vieja was a surprising joy, with old narrow, largely pedestrian streets, filled with character and age and remarkably photogenic, day and night. Being in the old town, with its accompanying old sewerage systems, we had to adjust to not flushing toilet paper down the bowl, a first for me, but something I became used to very quickly (and have encountered elsewhere in Spain since). Also worth noting is the entrance can be difficult to find at first (we met someone else also searching for it when we arrived). Mark it on the map before you get to Bilbao, because there is no entrance sign. It is on Dorre Kalea, the first building on your right as you enter the street from Pilota Kalea. If in doubt, enter the building entrance code into the intercom, and if the door opens, youve found it!
