Top Santiago Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Hotel Sercotel Coliseo

10/10 Excellent

"Everything ok"

Occidental Bilbao

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel. Very easy to travel around Bilbao on the metro. The metro station is a very short walk from the hotel and only 1 stop to the old town. Hotel pool was a great plus after hot day of tourism. My only criticism would be that there weren't enough beds and umbrellas in the pool area. A few chairs would be great too."

ibis Bilbao Centro

8/10 Good

"We stayed for one night, coming off a late afternoon flight. It was a a great chain hotel - good value for the price point but quite generic (which is reasonable given the brand and the price). There are some lovely places to eat and it's was interesting to walk around in the newer part of Bilbao but is a bit of a walk to get to the older areas where one would probably wish to spend a bit more time. The staff were friendly and helpful."

Hotel Tayko Bilbao

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful hotel - had everything we needed in a great location, we were able to walk everywhere, even to the Guggenheim (20 min walk down the river 🥰) Know that this area is a pedestrian only area as it is the medieval heart of Bilbao. The beds were spacious, pillows were great, we did spring for a larger room with a balcony & a great view and even though the hotel is in Casco Viejo/Zazpikaleak it was quiet. We were there during the heat wave and the AC worked great! So thankful to have a spot to cool off & refresh. They organized our airport transfer and sent an driver for a minimal fee and communicated exactly where my brother could park, as we did a driving tour of the region and met in Bilbao at the hotel before heading to our next destination. Breakfast at Ola, 1 Michelin Star was fantastic, we even went to Lasarte-Oria and had a lunch at Chef Martín Berasategui, his home and 3 Star Michelin restaurant ~ what an experience in Basque Country overall! One million percent do t hesitate to go, take your time, siesta, stay up late and commune with people and stay at HOTEL TAYKO BILBAO ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Petit Palace Arana

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Petit Palace as a base for exploring Bilbao and the region and very pleased with the choice. The location is fantastic, on the edge of the old town. There is a train/metro station a couple of minutes away and it's a pleasant 25 minute riverside stroll to the Guggenheim. The building is old but the rooms have been well modernised with very good bathroom/shower. The staff are all helpful and friendly, we had the daily breakfast which was a good way to start the day. Our room faced the road but noise wasn't an issue and we even had a small balcony. For a city break base would definitely recommend."
