Hotels near Bilbao Abando Station, Bilbao

We stayed four nights in a NYX Suite in the middle of August. This hotel has an excellent location at the entrance to the old Town. The Renfe train station to Madrid and Barcelona is about 6 minutes walking across the bridge right in front of the hotel. This bridge also takes you to the major shopping street of Bilbao as well. The Guggenheim is a pleasant 20 minute stroll along the river and around the corner you'll find the Plaza Barria with some of the best pinxto bars in the Basque country. The metro station that will take you right to the intermodal bus station is a short 2 minute walk away. The suite was compact with only a double bed, but the bathroom was roomy and the shower easily fit two. Storage was minimal, but there was a safe, mini fridge, iron and ironing board. The coffee maker was an imitation Nespresso, but the pods were Lavazza. The balcony had a fantastic 270 degree view of the old Town and the newer city across the river. A negative note: Almost every evening we came home to discover a new invasion of ants crossing our room, slipping under the door and parading down the hall.

I thought I'd exhausted my search of hotels in Bilbao, but stumbled upon the Bilder Boutique Hotel quite late on before my trip. I'm glad I did! For the standard of the rooms, I thought it was very reasonably priced: approx. £130 per night with breakfast. I opted for an 'inside' room, which had a window onto a small courtyard. Despite being very central in the old town, this meant it was incredibly quiet overnight, even with the window open. The room itself was lovely: spotless, good tea and coffee facilities, comfy bed and a great bathroom. The hotel is in the old town itself and, very conveniently, less than a 5 minute walk to a Metro stop. Also, the bus to the airport is just a 15 minute walk away at Plaza Noyoa. Lots of other attractions, bars and restaurants all within a 5 to 20 minute walk. Reception staff were very friendly. My only complaint was at breakfast time. Breakfast was lovely, and arguably very good value for the amount you bet, but the service wasn't particularly friendly. There was a language barrier with an older guy working over the weekend. I just felt this isn't a reason to come across as quite cold. By contrast, the guy serving on the Sunday morning also didn't speak English, but was still very friendly.

Fabulously clean, cute and cutting edge accommodations. Reception was friendly, multi-lingual and efficient. This is a nugget hotel, so not a lot of thrill. The lobby was on the small side but inviting. There’s an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet one can purchase (I did not) two elevators take you right upstairs. The hallways are cheeky and sweet. The room was small but as a touristy traveler that was fine. I don’t want to be in a hotel room. I’m out exploring. The bed was very comfortable and the whole room was spotless. Toilet and shower are separate which is helpful if there are two in the room. Highly recommend this place.

We had a lovely 4 night stay at the at Mercure Bilbao Jardines de Albia - Great welcome, Our ‘Privilege’ Room on the 7th floor was lovely very spacious with a very comfortable King size bed, large closet with hanging and shelf space and a large safe. There was a minibar with complimentary water 2 still and 1 sparkling, 2 beers and 2 Coca Cola which was replenished every day. There is a coffee machine. Good controllable air conditioning. The Bathroom had a large walk-in shower. There is a nightclub nearby so there is some noise at night so if you are a light sleeper you should ask for a quiet room. Perfect location - The hotel is 15 min stroll to the Guggenheim museum and its about 10 minute walk from the centres of both the old and new towns, there is a Corte Ingles about 10 mins walk away on the main street and the hotel is just a couple of minutes from the river. The Lobby bar is great and the staff are pleasant and helpful and prices are very reasonable – it was lovely sitting outside having a glass of wine. It is very easy to get to from the airport A3247 bus stop, Journey from the airport is about 20 minutes. Great staff All the staff we met were helpful. Reception is on the 3rd Floor. Breakfast is on the 4th floor with good coffee machines and a great fresh orange juice machine. Thank you to all the restaurant and bar staff especially the manager and also Pedro. The housekeeping was efficient, and everything was spotless. There are so many amazing restaurants and bars in Bilbao serving great food – We were lucky enough to be in Bilbao for the start of the festival and we really enjoyed the amazing firework display on Saturday night. We are already looking forward to returning to Bilbao and the Mercure Bilbao Jardines de Albia.

Okay, we know this hotel is amazing value, but you can also park a car safely over the road, eat within 100m, or stroll through the old town just five minutes away. Our old friend Fernando was on night duty and we missed him, but Miguel understood my limited Spanish, sorted out the parking and advised on where to visit. Café Zubi-Ondo is a few metres down the road, for instance. Pleased to see cleaning and sanitising activity throughout and a clean tidy room. (I forgot there are shutters are to blackout the room). One night in Bilbi isn’t enough and it’s worth taking a few days at this price.

Location is about 15 to 20 minutes from the center. I was a little worried about security as it was far from the center, but there was nothing in particular. It may be better not to be too late for a woman alone. The room was large and clean and easy to spend. Towels, hair dryers and hair body wash are provided. Since it is not separated as a shower room, I am prepared to be bishabisha in that area. There is a TV, but there is no refrigerator. The bed was too soft and not too hard and I was easy to sleep ◎ The response of the front desk was also good!

This trip to pick 🌟 to Bilbao booked this suite I have to say that the hotel in the north is really cost-effective Booked a suite Not only is the living room huge It's also great to have a corner balcony Although it was a rainy day The scenery is really good to me Facilities: water bar snacks are of good quality The bathroom has a shower and a bathtub Hygiene: very clean, after all, it is a new hotel Environment: My suite is on the sixth floor, because the seventh floor is a restaurant, so it is a bit noisy. Our friend's other room is on the fourth floor, which is very quiet. Service: The waiters are very enthusiastic. I went to a spa at night very 👌

The room is compact. The location is very good, just by the river, within walking distance of the main attractions in the city. There are no vegetables for breakfast, mainly custard meat and cereal. There is no ironing board, laundry room, no disposable supplies. The gym is in the basement, very small and no windows. The elevator has ladder control, but it is not very sensitive.
