"excellent location and very spacious. Txema himself was waiting for us and showed us around, plus provided great advice. You could walk everywhere and we were in the heart of the old town. My only negative comment was on the beds, the mattresses were lumpy and this could be fixed easily. "

7.8 out of 10, Good, (176)
"The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, carrying my big suitcase up the steep stairs for me (I didn’t ask them to!). The agreed to us leaving luggage before and after our check in. The room was comfortable with good facilities and a great location. We were at the back of the hostel so despite building works and bars downstairs (at the front of the hostel) we couldn’t hear any of the noise. We’d stay again!"

Barceló Bilbao Nervión

5/5 Excellent
Old town, modern hotel
"I’ve stayed in Bilbao about 50 times for business over the past 10 years. This isn’t my normal hotel, but it’s a really good back up. The parking here is more spacious that many other hotels in the centre and with good availability even if you’ve not booked. The rooms are comfortable and the location is good for the river and the old town "
