Bilbao City Rooms

Spotless clean, very quiet at night and just a few minutes from the river and The Guggenheim Museum. Low key boutique style in an old building, comfortable bed, spacious bathroom and good storage space. Basic kettle with biscuits, tea and coffee.

I really loved our room! It was spacious. It was perfect for 3 people. They had a ceiling fan! I discovered that hotels don't have AC options during winter times, that's why I mentioned the ceiling fan. The reason why I chose Bilbao City Rooms is because of its proximity to the Guggenheim (7mins walk).

This hotel is located a very short distance from the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, and a large shopping district. The bus from the airport to city center stops just steps away from the hotel. In fact, it is the first stop after departing the airport. Bilbao’s old town is about 10 to 15 minutes walking distance. And should you wish to make use of the metro, it is a mere 5 minutes’ walking distance from the hotel. Getting in and out of the city (we rented a car to visit other sites such as the Rioja wine region and the coastal areas) was easy. You can be on the highway within just a few minutes. While the hotel does not have parking facilities, there are garages nearby with daily costs as low as 15 Euros per day. There are plenty of locations for breakfast, lunch and dinners in the neighborhood. The woman at the reception desk was very helpful in providing suggestions for eating out. The rooms are compact but well designed and clean. There is a ceiling fan which we used during the warmer nights (28C). The windows can be opened which provided cool air at night. Our hotel room was located on the 4th floor, which was reached with the lift.

Great location only minutes from Guggenheim. We had a triple room, facing an (ugly) interior court, opening window wasn’t really an option. This was however the only negative point, everything else was ok and value for price paid absolutely ok.

On 4th and 5th floors of a multi-use building. About a dozen rooms in total. Comfortable, functional, clean room and shower room, great bed. Excellent location, 5 mins from Guggenheim and 5 mins from restaurants. Safe street. Friendly helpful receptionist, proud to tell you about his city. 2 mins from bus stop. If I wanted to pick fault, the walls and towels are both a bit thin!
