The cleanliness and comfort. The friendliness, helpfulness, and quick response of the staff. You had a question, it was answered immediately. If you needed anything extra for the room, it appeared in a blink of the eye. We liked that there was a safe in the room. As other guests have posted, it is a 10 minute walk to Casco Viejo, but it’s an easy walk downhill, and to the Axturi tram stop. If you want to rest your legs, there is a bus stop in front of the hotel that takes you into town.
Additionally, we liked that the Gran Bilbao had refreshing cold tea available for guests in the lobby at no extra charge. A very thoughtful gift. And the breakfast was outstanding and plentiful. It deserves a Michelin star in my opinion! 👏🏼😊

This place could be 10/10, it's not. The rooms are beautiful, but all the details are missing. The water runs out of the shower flooding the whole bathroom. The elevator broke the first night and there was a loud alarm going off from 2:00 to 4:00 in the morning.

The best hotel we've stayed at in Spain! Where do I even begin - the convenient location, the high end decorations, the comfy bed, the warmest staff, and the delicious and generous breakfast.
Both my husband and I don't understand how it is a 2-star hotel. It's better than the 4-star one we stayed in Madrid. Would definitely return if we're in Bilbao again.

Right from the start Bilbao rose in my top favorite cities...
Right from the start Bilbao rose in my top favorite cities in Spain (after Barcelona where I live and Valencia which is my second option). It's a big city with a lot of things to do and see. It has both big avenues with large buildings and malls but it also has the old city narrow streets you would find in any european city. It is a bit puzzling to be that the city wasn't developed starting from the sea side inwards instead it actually a bit upstream on the river Nervion. The Guggenheim museum is a feat in itself and hosts quite a few modern art pieces from Basquiat or Warhol if you're into that kind of thing.
If you're lucky enough to be there during the Aste Nagustia, you will get fireworks for about 5 evening straight, about 10 different music stages and all of this in a beautiful old city center.

Great city - The Guggenheim was fantastic and great exhibitions. Great choice of places to eat in Bilbao. Definitely good for a city break. The only issue is that I hadn’t anticipated how much it would rain. The city is geared up for it but make sure you take a raincoat, waterproof shoes and an umbrella! Didn’t stop us enjoying ourselves.

Bilbao is all about the Guggenheim as far as I am concerned. The “old town” is grubby and a far cry from the old town and beautiful streets of San Sebastián. Definitely come for the Guggenheim - it is totally worth it - but I’d only stay in Bilbao long enough to see the museum.

Bilbao is a beautiful city that is very real and industrial with a rich history. We rode rental bikes along the river. The ladies got pedicures. We ate a lot of pinchos and enjoyed the wine. We took day trips to nearby beaches and toured the Guggenheim, which we thoroughly enjoyed!

We studied in advance information from Bilbao Tourismo and picked from there some 'Must Do' things like attractions, interesting places to visit and best beaches. Then we made a plan, rented a car for seven days and enjoyed the Bizkaia coast!
The city itself offered a lot of things to do and see. Our favorites were the food hall, the small shops in the old town, the botanical garden, the opera (we saw the Fantasma De La Opera), the friendly people and as the 'sugar on the bottom' the amazing Guggenheim!
Eating was its own experience. Whether it was fast food or a restaurant, we were never disappointed! Basque cuisine is absolutely excellent.

Beautiful, Friendly. Everything within walking distance.
Beautiful, Friendly. Everything within walking distance.
Visited the Museum of Fine Art, the Guggenheim and went to the theatre.
All walkable but could be wearing on those with mobility issues.
Bustling day and night. Lots of restaurants to choose from.
Petit Palace Arana is without doubt in a superb position: on the riverside, near the market (an esssential visit) and right by many cafes and restaurants in the Old Town of Bilbao. An old building modernised, the interior was mostly fine, the staff very friendly - but my room was adequate and nothing more, with an awful interior view of nothing but a yard and piping.
The hotel did, however, provide the best breakfast spread I've seen. Quite superb, and the serving staff deserves the highest praise.
Location of the hotel is amazing, it is in middle of the old town and there are so many things around.
The room was very comfy, bed was huge, and we loved the bathroom.
We enjoyed breakfast, food was tasty and fresh.
Best thing was the staff, they were so accommodating and friendly!
We came to the city at 7 am, and they took our luggage to hold, and called us as soon as there was a room ready, hours before check in time!!
If you visit Bilbao, this is the place to stay.
Very comfy bed and a huge, clean bathroom. Hotel is 100 meters from Bilbao's main metro station. It's also on the edge of old town which means you're close enough to explore but far enough that it was quiet at night. Free bag storage and impressive breakfast spread (we didn't partake). Our receptionist was super friendly and helpful, just wish I remembered her name!
The hotel is nicely located at the bank of the river with an excellent promenade on both sides and multiple fancy bridges; it's only 5 minutes walk to the Guggenheim museum in one direction, to the old town in another and also 10 minutes walk from the main streets of Bilbao. The room was very clean and quiet. The breakfast was also really great.
No breakfast as it is a budget hotel. Location is perfect, centre of the Old Town. Very basic but reflected in the price, which is very reasonable. Very nice staff. Great location for exploring Bilbao.
