Barceló Bilbao Nervión

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and walking distance to most attractions."

Hotel Tayko Bilbao

10/10 Excellent

"Location in the old city near restaurants. It is newly constructed hotel (with a historic exterior) with all the modern amenities. Appreciated the touch of l’Occtaine soaps, convenience of the affordable hotel restaurant for breakfast, and bar. There is a Michelin restaurant ‘Ola’ which we didn’t try. Staff were extremely helpful with recommendations, spoke English and pleasant. We would definitely return if we visit Bilbao again."

Arenal Rooms Bilbao

10/10 Excellent

"Arenal Suites were ideally located in the old town. Staff were very friendly and super helpful, especially Ivan on the reception desk. The room was clean and tidy. We were lucky to have a room with a balcony which overlooked a busy street. The double glazing was very effective!! Overall I would highly recommend this accommodation and wouldn't hesitate to book it again. Eskerrik asko!!"

LETOH LETOH Bilbao

8/10 Good

"Very nice place, in the heart of old Bilbao. The only negative comment would be that the walls are super thin, therefore you can hear the other rooms pretty well. Also, please note that, since cars can't circulate in the old part of town, you have to walk a bit to get to the hotel (about 5 mins, nothing to exhausting). Otherwise everything else was perfect."
