Stayed in Hesperia in September 09 for one night. Very funky hotel, very helpful at reception, nice restaurant and the room we had was fantastic (if a little dark). more

Centrally located and overlooking the river, this one of the most affordable hotels we could find and it turned out to be a great deal. Sometimes really modern hotels which are budget priced can be tacky but Hisperia was actually cool. You can walk over the footbridge and be the Guggenheim in a 15 mins. We would absolutely stay there... more

Just a one nighter. Relatively accessible hotel with underground parking. Just a short walk from the Guggenheim and the decent restaurants of Bilbao. The rooms themselves are fine but nothing more spectacular than this. Talk of a view of the Guggenheim is a little rich as you need to really strain your neck to get a glimpse. Breakfast the next... more

When we arrived we were told that the hotel was overbooked and we thought the desk person was telling us they were going to send us somewhere else, but he was actually telling us that we had been upgraded to a corner suite. Our opinion of the hotel is probably colored by this bit of luck. The room was massive... more

What's not to like? We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights as part of our summer vacation in Spain. It was easy to find - we caught the bus from the airport (3247 - goes every half an hour, costs €1.30pp) which dropped us off immediately after crossing the bridge near the Guggenheim. From there it was an easy... more

Good location and extremely comfortable hotel, an easy walk to the Guggenheim. We had a room overlooking a sidestreet which was fine, as quieter. Good value given that a varied breakfast was included. more

Only stayed one night, but the staff could not have been more helpful. We were upgraded to a Superior room with a little coloured glass balcony overlooking the river. Only a 5-10 minute walk to the Guggenheim (you could see it from the balcony if only there weren't so many trees!) and about 15 minutes in the other direction to... more

I stayed here for three nights in July 2009. I booked the hotel using the Hisperia website - I would recommend this as they had a pay for 2 nights, stay 3 deal. My room was very clean and everything worked. The bar service was good and it was lovely to sit outside on the terrace in the warm evening... more

The only drawback to this clean, well-run, thoughtfully designed hotel is that it is across the river from good places to eat - the area is residential and not that visitor-friendly. And the common spaces downstairs are small, the restaurant and cafe expensive for what we wanted. BUT it is directly across from the Calatrava Bridge and a short walk... more
