Top Bilbao Old Town Hotel Reviews

Petit Palace Arana

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff and great location! "

Pensión Basque Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"My room was cute, clean and the AC worked!!!! The staff was friendly and informative. As a solo woman traveller, it was easy to pop around to have a bite to eat and drink and I felt safe. Cosco Viejo was super lively. It was loud until late into the night and in the morning the trucks cleaning the streets and the bar clean up - glass/keg disposal etc woke me up ... but for me... it was an opportunity to get up and get going. However, I did appreciate the ear plugs they provided. If you have mobility issues, this may not be your place as cars are not allowed in the Old Town and there is not an elevator...but I would stay here again and again! "

Arenal Suites Bilbao

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely fabulous location. Couple of minutes walk to the piazza. The underground is less than a minute walk. Lots of bars and food places. The hotel is spotless. Staff are lovely. And that bed. Oh my word, I wanted to take it with me to the next hotel! Most comfortable hotel bed I’ve slept in for a long time. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The stairs are not for the faint hearted though! "
