Our room, 8th floor, seemed v new and we were v comfortable in it. The air con was not cool enough for us that would be my... More

We stayed at the hotel for 4 days at Easter, and I can only say it was wonderful. The hotel is located near the Basilica of Begoña, so it is outside the bustle of downtown but just 10 minutes walk from Old Town. It also has a subway stop near the hotel, from which you can reach any place of... More

I recently returned to Bilbao for Holy Week and decided to stay on the other side of the la ría and chose to spend less on my lodging. After reading the reviews of the less expensive options available for the dates of my trip, I chose this hotel and regretted it within a few hours of arriving. This hotel is... More

It is a 40min walk to the Guggenheim (downhill to get there) or a 7min walk to metro. There is paid parking and paid breakfast. The buffet breakfast is good, slightly above average for this level of hotel. The room was good and comfortable but the shower/bathtub is a bit strange.It is placed in between the room and the washroom... More

Another great experience with Barcelo hotels where families can feel welcome. Got a 2-room deal for my family of 4 at an attractive rate. Overall good value, good location outside the city center, and fast professional service. More

at first I thought it was in the outskirts of the city, - but 7 min. walk to the metro, and 20 min. to the old city. Not much to look at around the hotel, but 15 min. will get you to the city (very efficient metro). Had a good deal, - i think app. € 80 a night for... More

Great hotel... On the paper and on the website... First of all, this is probably the most noisiest hotel I've ever seen. Air hammer, hammer, clients... And the room cleaning service beginning at 7:30 every day, without even taking care of their own noise. Forget about the "do not disturb" sign on your door, they go in, whatever happens. Second...

Price: good value for money - although the relatively pricey "Cyber World"(!?) internet access and printer didn't fully function. Customer service: overall adequate but service at the bar was a letdown on a couple of occasions. Location: a wee bit out of the centre but near to excellent and frequent public transport links (the city's metro is particularly impressive); some... More
