Hotels near Bilbao Airport

Pros: Staff were incredible and location couldn't be beat. Parking was only €5 per day. Great restaurants with super views of Guggenheim.

Cons: Air conditioning in our room didn't work. Refrigerator was broken and there were moldy things inside.

Pros: Upscale, not overly pretentious, nice location across from the Guggenheim. Inexpensive for a five star hotel.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: This is a lovely hotel, comfortable space and great, helpful staff. We booked a classic double room which was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished but if we returned I’d probably go up a grade to get a window with view. Brilliant location opposite the Guggenheim and by the water - very pleasing location and a short walk / taxi into town. We thought breakfast was expensive at 26e per person but we tried it one day and it was delicious and a generous buffet. The rooftop terrace was a delight as well. The ground floor cafe was also great and provided a very satisfactory alternative for breakfast and lunch. Bar 61 was a comfortable bar and lounge area but rather dark at night We really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return

Pros: Great rooms. Very good breakfast with stunning views of Guggenheim museum.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Since the star of any trip to Bilbao is likely the Guggenheim, the location here cannot be beat. The interior of the hotel is beautiful, and the view from the breakfast terrace is amazing.

Cons: While the breakfast does offer gluten-free options, they have not trained the serving staff on what that means. In our case this meant that - despite ordering GF bread - we were given regular bread and not told about it until we were almost done. Cool!

Pros: Location and staff and building. Excellent breakfast

Pros: Great location across from the Guggenheim (10 minute walk from the City Centers, Bilbao is small). This is arguably a 5 star facility charging much lower than comparable places anywhere else. Valet parking service, but remember to go to the alley behind the hotel, where there is an entrance that is much better for dropping off the car, and to unload your luggage. Excellent Gym with very new equipment. Lovely Bar with skilled bartenders.

Cons: The lighting system in the room was a little problematic...... Either the Master was "on" for any lights to work (if Master was "off", could not turn on bathroom lights to shower, while keeping the room lights off so my wife could keep sleeping)....

Pros: Perfect location in the City.

Cons: The breakfast on the terrace was superb, with amazing views, but it was very expensive at €26. I went elsewhere for breakfast after the first morning.

Pros: The bathroom architecture was unique and romantic. The reception staff was incredibly helpful.

Cons: Seemed that the thermostat was not altering the climate at all. We had to keep our window open. Also hair conditioner would be nice.

Pros: A treat for weary travelers, this hotel was a bit of respite from the cadence of sightseeing. The rooms were spacious and well laid out. Service was professional and efficient. The details of this luxury hotel were the icing on the cake - turn down service, aromatherapy sleep spray, complimentary robe and slippers. Proximity to the Guggenheim and promenade is unbeatable.

Pros: This hotel was sublime — a fitting pair with the Guggenheim across the street. Don’t skip breakfast on the rooftop terrace — likely the best place to see the museum, and the food was standout.

Cons: Bathroom’s a little strange: Great tub, but wet room ahower’s weirdly placed.

Pros: Staff are friendly, good location its just opposire of Guggenheim museum

Cons: It's excellent

Pros: Great location, few mins walk from guggenheim museum. Airport bus which travels each 15 min stops outside the hotel! Same on the way out. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Giant comfortable beds. Great modern facilities

Pros: The hotel was near the Central square of Bilbao, near the museums, only 15 minutes from the old city (on foot). The price was very good. Even if has not breakfast, they provide you with tickets for discount or a ticket for breakfast at the Guggenheim museum together with entry ticket. Tha staff are very kind, help you with any question you have for the city. Provide you with usefull information regarding the city. Free wifi. Near the hotel, you can find many restaurants, all of the kind, shops and super markets. Generally is the best solution if you do not want to give much money, but you want to stay at the central of the city!

Pros: It was a grateful experience. Excellent room facilities, coffee machine, mini bar with very reasonable prices, etc. Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent location and conexions to the airport (actually the bus stop is at the front of the door)

Pros: This hotel is modern and chic. After a week traveling in Spain, this bed is to die for. A huge king bed with just the right amount of firmness. The location is wonderful in the middle of wonderful shops and restaurants. It was just a couple blocks from the Guggenheim museum.

Cons: Had to upgrade my room as I was joined by a friend. There was a little confusion at first, but the hotel was able to make it right on short notice.

Pros: Nice, modern and clean. Friendly staff!

Cons: Was a bit cold in December & the toilet system was noisy.

Cons: The room is tiny, for one night okay, but if there had been two of us it would have been bad.

Pros: Nice and very clean room. Good internet connection. Very friendly staff. In city centre close to Guggenheim.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Amazing location, clean rooms and friendly staff

Cons: Room was smaller than expected

Pros: It was very clean and cozy, the rooms are very spacious and minimal in a good way. Staff has been very kind and the location close to the Guggenheim Museum and the city center is unbeatable.

Pros: Extra large bed and size of the room made the stay as being at home. I also liked of the museum and walking distance to Guggenheim.

Cons: Hair conditioning was not very good, but not important, you can always bring yours

Pros: Infrastructure is excellent; so is the staff - Gorka and Ruben in particular

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location is perfect for visiting the Guggenheim museum and the Bellas artes museum, having a walk to downtown or taking the tramway I was offered a suite instead of the room I had booked. The staff is very friendly at the reception and in the breakfast room. (why does the software gives only 8.0 ? I would give 9 or 9.5)

Cons: Only one thing : the suite is not soundproof and any noise from the next room could be heard.

Pros: Almost perfect, if they had a better mattress. But overall was great

Cons: The mattress

Pros: very central Ophelia very friendly and helpful v clean

Cons: not much light in the room

Pros: Very clean and nice room, great location

Pros: Everything was perfect, way more the expectations!!!

Pros: Good view near to the cable car nice trip down to the old town

Cons: A very noisy night with customers in the next room shouting until 2am no meals available in the area in the evening

Pros: There was a bed and bowls for the dog provided in the room

Cons: Great hotel in a fantastic location

Pros: The breakfast was really good, worth the money. Room was super clean and comfy and as we were there in early spring (colder nights) a heater was provided and waiting us there. Location is really great for somebody who wants to mix easy access by car, trekking routes and somewhat walkable distance down to the city. A taxi back from the centre costs 11-15€.

Pros: Given the slightly remote location, I expected more comfort for the price.

Cons: The walls were thin and other patrons could be be heard doing normal things in their rooms. The man at the front desk was competent and helpful, but not friendly.

Pros: Wonderful experience, great and welcoming people. If coming with a car to Bilbao, this is such a great way to avoid hustling through traffic and searching for parking, which ain't that cheap. Nor it should be, since the city is spectacular. Anyway, the hotel is conveniently located between the City and the Airport, and to reach downtown Bilbao you take lovely funicular (cable car) and it takes you straight down in 3min. To funicular you get with a car in like 2min, also lots of free parking around. The hotel itself is very chic and vintage, but the room in which we stayed was very new, super clean and cozy, with a view towards the city. The views are everywhere. Oh, and the breakfast is very tasty and versatile enough.

Cons: All was perfect...

Pros: The shower, the shower and the shower. The bed was good too. Again all TV was in Spanish but no fault of the Hotel. Just annoying.

Cons: Nothing really. The decor was not to our taste but what the heck.

Pros: Very very clean, all staff very friendly and helpful Down (and up!) steep path to city , but use funicular rail and it’s doable . Overall excellent for a moderate priced hotel I would go back!

Cons: Clean and great staff

Pros: Great location , staff and breakfast . Very clean and helpful ,informative staff.Family run with great pride and passion. would very much recommend.

Cons: Room was rather small.

Pros: Fantastic location perched above the city with great views. If you have a car, its also really convenient for travelling into the city, to the airport or further afield. The staff are amazing and have incredible attention to detail, to make sure everything is perfect for your stay. Very clean and well maintained. I was really impressed.

Cons: Nothing to not like. Note that this place is very convenient if you have a car and maybe not so convenient if you dont have a car. (I didnt check if there are public transport options)

Pros: Big & nice old Room

Cons: Unfriendly Service

Pros: The best location to visit Bilbao!

Pros: Nice big rooms, very central. Beautiful hotel.

Cons: No spa

Pros: Excellent location, comfortable room and very friendly staff

Cons: Wish they had better ventilation in the common areas

Pros: Cleaning staff were wonderful. Other staff members (including for catering events) need to just naturally smile!!! What’s so difficult about that??!!

Cons: Full climate control. In other words, I could turn on the A/C or just the fan.

Pros: Great location, excellent staff who are very helpful, great value for money

Pros: Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff. We had a very quick stay and did not have the full experience of staying at the Carlton. The concierge was very friendly offered to hold our bags while we explored the city after check out

Pros: Location old style

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nice rooms good location

Cons: Breackfast.

Pros: Friendly and accommodating staff. Understanding of the circumstances with having to change rooms and the check in process

Cons: The challenge was that there is a lot of noise in the middle of the night that can be heard.

Pros: Excellent location, in the heart of Bilbao's old town. Very clean property with modern touch.

Cons: Extremely tiny room

Pros: Beds really comfortable with a memory foam topper. Shower lovely and powerful. Excellent location- walking distance to all attractions and shops.

Pros: Stylish place in the Old Town. Conveniently located just behind Plaza Mayor, and a few steps from the Metro Station and Euskotren. A Car Park is also within 5 min walk just down the river (convenient but expensive). Planty of bars and restaurant in the area. The host is super welcoming and the rooms are perfect. Beds supercomfy. The style is the added value. Second time for me here, and it's always a pleasure.

Cons: Everything ok.

Pros: The hotel is wonderfully situated in the Casco Viejo and therefore could not be more central. It is beautifully decorated in a rustic style and its cinema-inspired elements are both interesting and inspiring.

Cons: Two minor details might bother light sleepers: the beds are extremely soft and therefore not too comfortable, and since the building is two centuries old and is in a protected location, rooms could not be soundproofed during the construction of the hotel. This is something receptionist Marijo tells guests right away when they check in, but if your room happens to be on the first floor, you will inevitably hear everything that goes on in the reception.

Pros: The staff, location and bedroom

Cons: Excellent location and staff. Very small but nice bedroom and excellent badroom

Pros: When my early morning flight was canceled, the staff could not have been more accommodating. I appreciated that they allowed me back into my room to relax and sleep and that it was so easy to shuttle to and from the airport.

Pros: Fast shuttle pick up and quick check in

Cons: No restaurant on site but there is one close by

Pros: Close proximity to airport and free shuttle.

Pros: Price and bed

Cons: Breakfast

Pros: The staff and shuttle service was excellent

Cons: Was a bit difficult to get an earlier dinner

Pros: The staff was very helpful. Especially both women’s in bar.

Cons: It wasn't a wardrobe in connection with the swimming pool

Pros: Good food, good access to the airport and 30 minutes to the ferry, free parking and wonderful bedroom and bathroom

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything is absolutely perfect! Beautiful area, the building is gorgeous, people were very nice and kind.... and the food!!! Fantastic! Plus the pool was amazing for the kids specially in a rainy day! Absolutely recommend it!

Cons: Everything! The room was beautiful and the seize perfect for our party of 5! People were very nice. The food was delicious and the pool perfect.

Pros: Perfect

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Wonderful facility in a great location. Everything was clean, the staff was excellent and friendly, and on-site Bistro was outstanding!

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Breakfast is very good and service personal is very friendly and helpful. Location is between new town and old one that is very comfort. Welcome cava is very pretty

Cons: It is difficult to find hotel parking, at the same time hotel service doesn't park your car. New Year's Eve dinner is expensive.

Pros: One of the best hotels I have stayed in the past year (and I stay in a lot of hotels, 60-80 different a year) Professional staff, very kind and helpfull. Beautiful large room with a couch and an easy chair. Very clean bathroom. Superb breakfast buffet with lots of tasty choices. There is a large spa in the basement with three sauna cabins and a large pool with water jets and jacuzi The hotel is close to the centre with the museums like the Guggenheim.

Pros: The breakfast was amazing. Very clean rooms and facilities.

Cons: The fact that no food was available due to NYE. Unless pre-booked for a gala dinner. This is understandable but considering the whole city shut at 10pm and this local knowledge wasn't given at check-in it was very frustrating.

Pros: Situation, centre. Nice and helpful staff

Pros: Place was in between museums and walk to old town. Lots of restaurants. Staff at reception, breakfast, lounge and cleaning staff were all excellent and helpful. Wonderful place to stay

Cons: Spa was fully booked and didn't get a chance to have a session. Such a waste for those interested in the spa.

Pros: Great large room and room service and location close to old city and Guggenheim museum by walk.

Cons: Disappointed in spa.Unprofessional and unexperienced.The double cabin was so small that the therapists couldnt fit and ofcourse it was awkward to feel their bodys pushing me all the time ,the one of them didnt know how to put a towel!!how to use her hands!waist of time and money!

Pros: Great location - comfy room, fabulous massage!!

Pros: Location was fantastic. Right on the river banks and 2 mins away from the funicular. A 5 mins walk to the nearest tram station. Guggenheim museum is 10 or mins way (walking). Staff were excellent and room service was very good. Rooms are modern and comfortable. I would definitely stay here if I’m in Bilbao again.

Cons: Room is slightly small compared to want I’m used to. Gluten-free options at breakfast were limited and this is something hotel can improve upon.

Pros: Everything went well. Great location and view, perfect room.

Cons: Parking path was complicated! It was too narrow.

Pros: Location, staff

Pros: Location, river view of the superior room and breakfast!

Cons: Wi-fi was poor.

Pros: Location

Cons: Size and views of the room

Pros: The location and breakfast

Cons: We requested a double room, but we were booked into a twin. We flagged this on checking in, but we were advised no doubles were available. This should have been flagged upfront.

Pros: Great bed very comfortable. Great location.

Cons: Mould in the bathroom. It needed repairs the hose was leaking

Pros: Everything was great

Cons: Not sure there is anything they could change

Pros: It was Modern and well located

Cons: The coloured windows. Weird light. The quality of the fittings in the bathroom - bath was out of date and rust marked. The bar was cold and unwelcoming. Especially drafty by the Windows. The eggs at breakfast were poorly cooked and the coffee was mechanical.

Pros: Location Rooms and beds were modern and really comfortable. Lobby was beautiful, enough place where one can sit and chill. Everything clean! There is no noise from streets. Staff was soooo nice and helpful! Best hostel I have ever stayed!

Pros: Wonderful breakfast !! Small price for excellent selection.

Pros: I think the location was pretty convenient to much of the city and it was a very modern and clean room/facilities. The room was mostly good,for the most part very clean and minimal.

Cons: However, it's much more like a hotel than a hostel, and at the prices for the room, which are quite high by hostel standards, you might be better off just booking a hotel room, depending on what you're looking for (especially if you get a private room). except that there only seemed to be one available outlet to plug anything in, and the bathroom had a slight smell. Staff were ok, but not overly friendly.

Pros: Shelf by the bed with USB port and a place to keep you phone which was very useful. Comfortable bed. Lockers were handy but bring your own lock. Kitchen was nice. Location is perfect, everything is walking distance and very close to the metro as well.

Cons: Room for 12 girls was quite cramped and warm. There is also only one bathroom to share between 12.

Pros: Location was great and staff were very helpful with lots of information. The room was very clean and modern and the bathroom in the dorm was also very clean.

Cons: Wasn't really a social atmosphere (may have been the time of year I visited) but if you're travelling alone I would probably recommend another hostel unless you're travelling in the height of summer.

Pros: Friendly staffs Close to the airport bus stop.

Cons: - the height of the bottom of a bunk bed is too low. I sometimes bumped my head on the bed. - the fee for the washing machine was a little bit expensive. 5 EUR including a dryer and a detergent. - the number of bathrooms was not enough. - too noisy roommate, though this may not relate to the hostel.

Cons: Not really 5 star Very dated Needs major overhaul Not really in the centre

Pros: Close to tram station

Cons: Too expensive, did not even have an ice bucket.

Pros: The breakfast was amazing, the location was good

Cons: The hotel is outdated, there arent that many electrical plugs close to you, the layout of the room isnt the best as there is a lot of space but not used wisely, additionally there was a lack of communication between shifts (my husband arrived on a different flight and i just came from a transatlantic and just felt asleep and they didnt let him in despite i informed them, luckily i woke up 20 minutes later). The jets didnt work

Pros: Great location

Cons: Staff were indifferent. Room felt dated, carpet was frayed and separating at seams. Parking was expensive at 24 euros per night. Room lacked basic amenities like iron, kettle, coffeemaker.

Cons: It is not a 5 star hotel. It is more like a 3 star. Hotel needs a lot of work

Pros: Breakfast was excellent. Pool very warm . Bed comfortable. Good location.

Cons: Lift was broken for about half of our stay. Fire exits not properly marked. Doors kept locked. Restaurant not available without booking ahead. Reception not well informed. They told us no where to eat nearby but there were food outlets opposite.

Pros: They upgraded our room and gave us a very spacious room. The hotel is in a very good area

Cons: Room decor was a little dated

Pros: Location, breakfast, the room and the park nearby.

Cons: You can bring your dog but can’t leave it in the room. That’s not too convenient to go for your included breakfast

Pros: Good location, rooms very nice, clean and spacious. Very fri,staff

Cons: Everything was good

Pros: This is an airport hotel, good for one night, nothing more, nothing less. I appreciate the kettle + coffee/tea in the room. Staff was ok.

Cons: I initially booked a standard room with the option "one large bed", instead of "twin beds". I received a message back from the hotel saying that one "matrimonio" will involve an extra charge of EUR 10. This was nowhere mentioned on booking.com, nor in my reservation confirmation - I've double checked! So, I have changed my reservation to twin beds but I could only do it because I still had several hours before no changes would have been allowed. I think this is an issue that shall be clarified between the hotel and booking.com, so the customer doesn't have unpleasant surprises at check-in. Breakfast was basic, nothing to write home about. The price difference between this hotel and its competitor is not really justified. The fact is that at BIO there are only 2 hotels and 1 restaurant (which, by the way, serves really lousy food for Spanish standards - not hotel's fault as they are separate businesses). So, one is stuck with only these options and this is it. Good luck :)

Pros: It is very near to airport. Good breakfast at 5:00 a.m before checkin to airport . Airport shuttle.

Cons: A/C is not working ,only hot air blowing all the time . Family room it is very small .

Pros: The only reason I stayed in this hotel is because it is 3 min. from the airport and I had a very early flight to catch.

Cons: The people at the reception always seemed to be in a hurry. Eventhough nobody was waiting at the counter. When I asked questions they were very short. They didn't even made eye contact. or stoped doing whatever they were doing in the computer. Rood.

Pros: reception, very kind. position and comfort. parking

Pros: Clean if not a little dated but wrong side of Bilbao for ferry terminal. Staff very polite and helpful.

Cons: For a hotel in Bilbao with major links to the UK very few TV channels in English with no BBC News or SKY News tv. No fridge in room and we paid 23 euros less the night before in Madrid with better facilities.

Pros: Airport Shuttle & very friendly drivers.

Cons: The breakfast is quite basic but plentiful. I would recommend including eggs, baked beans, mushrooms etc

Pros: Everything else

Cons: No restaurant only a tapas bar

Pros: The staff is very kind and the room was large and clean. I even found a welcoming message addressing me directly with a chocolate

Cons: I had problems with the shower (room 504), in the sense that in the bathroom there was a small bathtube with glass walls to be used as a shower, but then then the shower mixer didn't work and I could only take a bath while I was in a hurry. The other thing I didn't like was breakfast, there wasn't a buffet and I had to order what I wanted (included in the price I had paid) from the bar, whereas I prefer to help myself from a buffet but that's a personal opinion.

Pros: It was close to the airport

Pros: Near the airport but very quite. It's comfortable for sleep.

Cons: The service for breakfast is not so polite and comfortable. Not so valuable.
