Just a little gem, in the corner of great city. San Francisco St. has some awesome shops and cafes in and around Jatetxea Restaurant best veggie food in town (in a steakhouse!). Ok it's not a 5 star experience but for the price, this hotel and the location can't be beat.

The hotel was ok
The hotel was ok, close to the old town. The area was not so good or beautiful but for the price wasn’t too bad. The AC works great in the room. The rooms need to be updated but it was clean. The only issue was that we booked for 4 people and they gave us a room with 3 twin beds. My 8 years old kid had to sleep with me in a twin bed 😞

Good Hotel and Close to Old Town
Nice hotel located close to the old town with nice bars and small restaurants. Short walk to the main river then another 15-20min walk to silver art gallery people go to. Parking in the area is chargeable during most of the day via meter.

Basic hotel well positioned in Bilbao
For a 2 star hotel the facilities were fine. Room was a reasonable size with good air conditioning. Corridor to the room was a bit off putting with exposed services above. Breakfast was not available as there were no facilities at all for breakfast.

European Rugby Finals Weekend
The hotel is basic, but clean and was good value for the European Rugby finals, when everywhere else were charging crazy prices. The check in process was simple, and the staff extremely helpful with information about the local area, transport, places to visit, etc. The hotel itself is not in the most desirable area of Bilbao, with what appears to be the local red light district on the doorstep, but if you walk just a couple of minutes and cross the river, you are into the old town which is far more pleasant, with lots of bars and restaurants.

Convenient, charming, clean hotel
Our stay was really nice. The front desk attendants were very helpful. They gave us directions to wherver we needed. The hotel room itself was clean and charming. The lights required us to insert the key so one person couldn't really leave with the key and leave the light for the others. That was a bit strange but not a big deal. The bathroom was clean too.

Funky little inexpensive hotel near Casco Viejo
The room was very small but it opened out onto a large balcony. The bathroom was tiny but everything worked well There's a weird green and black color scheme to the hallways but, otherwise, the hotel was comfortable and you certainly aren't paying for luxury. It was a 10 minute walk from the Casco Viejo and very convenient. The reception, particularly the day-guy, was exceptionally nice, personable and helpful.

Good budget accommodation, reasonable location
I was a bit concerned about some of the reviews I had seen but I need not have worried. Although the surrounding area was somewhat rundown I always felt safe. The staff were all helpful and accommodating. The room was small but well appointed. The walls were a bit thin but earplugs solved that problem. I even had a nice balcony! The hotel does not do breakfast but there are cafes nearby which do at a very reasonable cost. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the Old Town and all the sights such as the Guggenheim, and only 15 minutes on foot from where the airport bus stops in the city centre. The price was very reasonable. I'd happily go back

A very handy placed hotel.
Very close to the olde part of Bilbao, and thus the Mercado de Ribera. Also a pleasant riverside walk to the Guggenheim Museum, and many other interesting places. The Mercado is good for a pleasant drink in the evening.

The building looks a little shabby - and internally it's quirky and rather basic. But it has a relaxed friendly feel - and it's well situated close to the Old Town.

Needs a facelift
I found my room to be expensive for what it was - and I had a deep discount! The room was terribly small. I had a veranda - and there wasn't even a single chair on it so I could sit and enjoy it! The TV didn't work, but OK no big deal. The neighborhood is a bit seedy, although I didn't have any troubles. Some hotel staff friendly and helpful, others less so.

Quiet hotel, close to historic city center.
This hotel was comfortable and very clean. What it lacked in amenities (no restaurant, tv didn't work) was more than made up for in its excellent, helpful staff and cleanliness. Every staff member was helpful and went above and beyond for their clients. They spoke excellent English which I had not encountered in Spain before, and were able to help me at a time when I needed it. I recommend this basic, comfortable hotel.

great place in heart of bilbao
hotel was nice. easy to walk to the city center from here, to see the guggenheim and the sights. the room was nice. it was pretty basic, but it worked. free wi-fi is always a bonus too. The parking is off street in a secure garage as well. it is a bit tricky to find at night if you get in late. and the neighborhood is a VERY active location at night. we didn't have problems with any locals, and the hotel staff said it was safe enough. just something to think about.

Up the hill
Just over the river from the old town - in what might be called a "lively" neighbourhood (it's a little seedy but then we all like people watching) the hotel was surpisngly good value for money - they've made a real effort with the paint job/decor...the bathroom was clean - everything worked fine. If you're not precious, this is great value for money.

Great Value, great location
Hotel Bilbi is a chocolate-coloured modern building in a multi-cultural part of Bilbao within 3 minutes walk of the river and old town. The price is very reasonable, reoom (not surprisingly for the price) quite small, and very clean. Flat screen TV, sizeable shower etc. Staff were very friendly and there is a large lobby area to relax. Corridors are painted all black with exposed service ducts, and strip lighting along the bottom edges - sounds awful but works well. I would highly recommend it.

After a bad night elsewhere in Bilbao, we booked here and were happy with the service and room. The surrounding area is a bit seedy but we weren't staying out late so it wasn't a big deal. Easy walking distance from the main attractions.

not worth it at all...avoid it
i would not recommend this hotel for the following reasons: found the evening clerk uninterested in dealing with our problem of a broken bed very run-down very ugly location, embarrassingly rude prostitutes nearby when you walk to the center (i am not a prude but it is too much when one grabs you and yells at you to buy her services) late in getting us our room absolutely no internet connection in the rooms i know that bilbao can be an expensive city and i guess if this is the only low budget option then use it for a night..but i would have to be desperate before I go back...you leave with a bad impression of this city

A pleasant surprise
We found the staff extremely helpful - knowledgeable, informative, thoughtful & professional; at first we thought the hotel was in a dubious location & the hotel is relatively close to an impoverished neighbourhood but in fact we saw no evidence of trouble or any threats / danger. The cafe nearby is wonderful & the people were all friendly.
