FAQs about hotels in Bilbao









Taste of Pintxos and Culture

Capital of the Biscay province in the Basque Country, the ever-fascinating Bilbao is a vibrant city experiencing constant growth and architectural revitalisation. Don’t miss out on being an eye-witness!

The stunning Guggenheim Museum is an absolute must-see. Designed by famous Frank Gehry, its curvaceous walls hide fascinating gems of modern art. If you enjoy museums, pay a visit to Museo de Bellas Artes with over 6000 works dating back to the 12th century.

Bilbao offers great shopping opportunities in the popular area of Plaza Moyua and Gran Via and while you’re at it, make sure to check out the Mercado de la Ribera with fresh, local produce, fish and meat.

Bilbao is the capital of pintxos, the local version of tapas, which is often fancier than its Spanish cousin as Basque people are famous for their love of elaborate cuisine. For more thrills, try patxaran and sagardo - unforgettable drinks, the taste of which will stay with you for even longer!

Whether you arrive for business or holiday when you disembark at Bilbao Airport, with over 50 hotels, guest houses and hostels, Booking.com has the perfect place for your Basque stay.

    A fantastic city.

    A fantastic city. A brilliant museum, some great architecture, a fantastic football club with a museum that would put premier league clubs to shame. Bars and restaurants everywhere and some of the best food I have eaten. Third time here and can not get enough.

    We loved Bilbao.

    We loved Bilbao. It has many places to visit, it is completely walkable, however, if one prefers, it has so many means of transportation for all tastes and standards. Good food, many parks, great for families.

    Stayed in the Old Town. Great bars and restaurants.

    Stayed in the Old Town. Great bars and restaurants. Great for people watching and I felt very safe. I was a female lone traveller aged 64! Did a lot of walking and the place had a real Buzz about it. Visited the Guggenheim. Fantastic to see and I did go in, felt I had to having travelled all that way, Waste of time that was. I'm obviously a complete philistine because if that's art I'm a monkey's granny! Went on the funicular railway (did that in San Sebastian too). I would go back to Bilbao and liked it better than San Sebastian but I loved that too.

    Great old city. easy to take day trips. But please think twice about traveling around easter - north of Spain celebrates it seriously and there is almost nothing open, even hard to find warm food at the restaurants for full week.

    Nice city to visit and enjoy.

    Nice city to visit and enjoy. Good city infrastructure, new, modern and functional. Good public transport (tram, metro, bus), nice pedestrian walkway and bikeway along both sides of the river. Outstanding museum Guggenheim, more for the building architecture itself than by the content. City cultural center underused demands a visit. Overall city architecture and urban planning are a must to whom appreciates such aspects, including nice parks spread around. Old city is also a must to visit. Not forget the local gastronomy, with the Pintxos bars and restaurants.

    What can I say, the moment we arrived Lydia took care of us, showing us a map of the city, where to park , how to travel in the city, what to go and see... you name it. The room was more like a small apartment with three separate room; Bedroom, Bathroom and sitting room. The hotel is slap bang in the middle of the old town (Casco Viejo), so the moment you walk out of the door, you have arrived! Tram, Bus and Metro are all in short walking distance from the hotel. Next time I visit Bilbao, and trust me I will! I know where I will be staying!

    We had a great stay here at the Hotel Miro. The location couldn’t be better- just a few minutes from the Guggenheim Museum. Our room had a great view of the museum which made it extra nice. The hotel is also beautiful, with a modern design and lots of art everywhere. We got a package deal with breakfast and 2 tickets to the Guggenheim which was a great value. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit Bilbao. Highly recommend!

    The room (size, layout, amenities) was excellent, the location of the hotel is great (right next to the Guggenheim and a 5 minute walk into the centre of Bilbao, on the river and a 20 min walk to the old town). Breakfast and the hotel bar are great. Francis on reception is a wonderful member of staff. She greeted us warmly and was helpful and efficient each day with the queries I had about the town.

    Nice location, as only 20 minutes walk to a tapas and a lookout that has a view over the city, with a the funicular railway nearby that takes you straight down the hill to the edge of Bilbao, a brief walk from the Guggenheim Bilbao museum. Room fittings were very modern and was clean. Lots of convenient parking space. Affordable parking near Guggenheim museum was useful to know about.

    It's a nice check-yourself-in hotel, with nicely decorated rooms (even if usually I'm not a big fan of themed hotel rooms), the facilities are appropriate, it's in a very good old-centre location and it's affordable. Although the staff is only around at breakfast, the experience was nice, friendly and practical. I'd stay there again when in Bilbao.
