Top Bilbao City Centre Hotel Reviews

Radisson Collection Bilbao

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and helpful."

Hotel Tayko Bilbao

10/10 Excellent

"We had the absolute best time here. We stayed in room 303 and the views were gorgeous of the river, it was a corner room that had three big windows that slightly opened. We were here for Aste Nagusia the big citywide festival and the location of the hotel couldn’t be more perfect. We walked everywhere, had pintxos at all the local bars, it was super lively. The bed so so comfortable, the rooms were clean, and the staff could not have been any more positive and generous. Will be recommending this to everyone. Thanks again!"

Latroupe La Granja

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here with my husband and teenage daughter and was really pleasantly surprised. We booked a private room for 3 with our own private bathroom. It was very clean and the hostel itself is quite cool. Unfortunately we booked at the weekend of the Aste Nagusia festival and our room overlooked a square with a concert going on till 1 am. We were advised in advance but not at the time of booking so it was noisy. Nevertheless this is a great spot, very convenient location. We didn't have breakfast here as there's a wealth of great food places nearby"

NYX Hotel Bilbao by Leonardo Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"We love Leonardo properties. The staff excels in friendliness and communication. However....we need to talk about the glass box aka the shower and bathroom. Not sure if all the units are set this way but beware if traveling with family or partner. Some things should be kept private. Nothing is left to the imagination when your bathroom wall is glass, frosted yes, but you can still see everything happening in there. The plus was the location. Walkable, safe, busy in the day but still convenient to shops and restaurants. The rooftop was a nice little gem. We saw one of the best views"
