Absolutely fabulous city.
Absolutely fabulous city. Spectacular food, people are so friendly and helpful and the city itself easy to get around (get the barik card) and with so much to see.
We ate in pintxo bars in Plaza Nueva numerous times. We also popped into cafes, had lunch in Las Cepas close to the Guggenheim (menu del día €15). I had dinner with a group in a Txoco (fabulous experience).
The metro was fabulous and runs all night on a Saturday. We also got a taxi to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe (€60 between 4 of us). No tix required on Monday to access the site although the church was closed. There's a restaurant by the car park with great food and views. We then called a taxi to take us to Bermeo (there is a bus but every 2 hours). This cost another €20. Bermeo is a pretty fishing town. We got the train back to Bilbao using the barik card - in total it cost 4 of us about €5 to return on the train.
Highly recommend the funicular to Artxanda (great views) and generally explore the city. It can be chilly so be prepared to wrap up.
I wish I had discovered Bilbao years ago but so glad I have now. I'll definitely return.

A wonderful city to visit, which offers everything you’d ever desired to do, from cultural to sports activities, and the food is absolutely amazing. I would recommend “Cork” for a 360 degrees deep dive into the local food and wine or beer, worth at least one visit. Another place called “Mugi” had the best Secreto Iberico and Presa Iberica. The vibe is wonderful. Great ham and cheese selection in one of the old town’s shop, good prices. Beautiful shops all around the whole town. A wonderful holiday.

Bilbao is easy to get around.
Bilbao is easy to get around. We used the metro and the tram quite a lot. The Barik card makes public transport much cheaper and it’s really easy to use.
Lots of churches, bars, cafes and restaurants. The people are really friendly and I managed to get by with my very limited Spanish!
We loved Bilbao and I think 3 or 4 days would keep you busy. We liked the Guggenheim as it’s a bit different. The fine arts museum (free) is worth seeing as well. The highlight for us was the Vizcaya bridge which was amazing, I’ve never seen anything like it! Walk across the top and get the gondola back.
Plaza Nueva had lots of bars and restaurants with great food but it does get really busy. A great place to try the Pintxtos is the indoor market which lots of the locals also use.

A good base for day trips to San Sebastián/Donastia to the east (a city of beauty, elegance and tourist-friendly amenities), Santander and Santillana Del Mar to the west. Bilbao is a quite pleasant city as well especially the riverbank area.

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.
The rooms were comfortable; , the rooftop breakfast was top quality with a view of the Guggenheim! My daughter was hospitalized in the early morning hours of the one night of our stay & the staff helped make EVERYTHING easy and so helpful for the two of us who speak only English (from the states). We needed to stay on an extra night so my daughter could rest and they were 100% accommodating on short notice. It made an unplanned not so easy moment turn into a very comfortable one. Thank you all at the Gran Hotel Domine Bibao!!!
Bilder Boutique Hotel is a very nice small hotel with sleek modern design and furnishings including plumbing and AC and so on, retrofitted into an old building shell at the edge of Bilbao’s “Casco Viejo” (Old Quarter ). THE main plus about the hotel is it’s absolutely location right where the old quarter begins, but not on the noisy main access street just steps away , nor on one of the noisy bustling squares or intersections. So it is peaceful. Main landmarks and areas of interest are all within a 15 minute walk.
The hotel is centrally located in the core of Bilbao, within walking distance of most major attractions. The rooms are exceptionally clean, as well as the common spaces. Upon arrival, we were directed by the attendant where to park in garage (parking against a fee), which made everything so easy. The front desk has a great attitude and was always very helpful. Of all of my stays in Spain, the breakfast at this hotel is SENSATIONAL. I would stay definitely stay at this hotel again!
The apartment was very spacious and well laid out, It is in a good location in Bilbao old town although the adjacent streets seemed nicer than this one. It is very quick to walk to some of the best restaurants and bars. Close to Carrefour market which was very convenient. Host was very nice and helped us with the luggage. The apartment was nice and cool when it was hot outside. Overall, it is a very comfortable place to stay and convenient to see and eat in Bilbao.
The location of the hotel to old town and Guggenheim museum is perfect, in the middle. The parking was easy, under the hotel for a fee. The staff were helpful and the Lobby Cafe/bar was really nice. We did not get a chance to use the Spa facilities or breakfast. I will return to this hotel again. Bilbao was a surprising fun, small, friendly town. The river walkway and tram to old town spectacular and only a few meters from the hotel.
It was a perfect little hotel in the heart of the Old Town and it's location was super convenient for exploring the city. Our room was a lovely twin room and was really quiet despite overlooking a busy street. The manager who checked us in was really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel and we would definitely stay there again on our next visit to Bilbao.
We were given a free upgrade at check in which was a fantastic surprise especially as our stay was a mother daughter birthday trip!
Room was lovely and spacious, view of the river really worth it.
Breakfast was a good buffet selection of hot and cold foods.
Hotel is in a great location to explore Bilbao, just over the river from the Guggenheim and a short walk to the old town. Would definitely go back!
The hotel was in the perfect location for exploring Bilbao. There was a tram stop just around the corner and the main train and subway station were just a short walk away. There were lots of restaurants and lovely boutique shops in the immediate area.
The room was beautiful and had everything I needed and I found the staff very helpful and friendly.
Perfect location on the border of Casco viejo and Abando, walking distance of most of Bilbaos treasures.
Very comfortable and clean rooms, great amenities such as coffee machine in the room, fantastic towels, dead sea toilettries and more.
Staff very nice and helpful.
Just the hotel you would want to stay at
Great friendly staff, excellent location (walkable to Guggenheim, waterfront, and Old Town), spacious and clean room, comfy king-size bed, eco-friendly TP, daily in-room fresh water bottle (glass, not wasteful plastic) and tea. This cute, boutique hotel should be rated higher than 2 stars.
Great place to stay. Clean, quiet, perfect location for all aspects of Bilbao, a city particularly great for walkers. This hotel is very close to train station Marika and the Fernicular up to the top of the hill. Old town 10 min walk, Guggenheim 15 min walk.
Very quirky small hotel. The staff were probably the nicest iv ever stayed at.....they couldnt do enough.....they even looked after a bag for one night while we went to our neices wedding until our return. Great position for the old town of Bilbao.
Staff were extra hospitable: helping with the car elevator to garage, with suggesting great tapas eatery for our last night in Spain, and we were only steps from the Guggenheim. Our room was riverside and it was lovely to see rowers, other boats.
The location of this hotel for exploring central Bilbao and the old town is perfect. Superb value for money for ultra sleek, clean and modern rooms and decor. Small discount for car park near hotel provided - nice surprise on arrival.
Located between the “Old town” Casco Viejo and the newer part of town.
Best place to stay, cosy room, very attentive personnel, and a nice bed.
Will definitely return here when I’m back in Bilbao. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very comfortable hotel with excellent friendly staff. Room clean, quiet. Excellent location to explore the main sights in Bilbao.
Very good breakfast ont he 6th floor
