Hotel Bilbao Plaza

Fantastic location within walking distance to both the Casco Viejo (old part of town) and Abando (newer downtown). Room was clean and very quiet, online check-in process was simple and the staff were friendly! Would absolutely recommend for anyone visiting Bilbao.

This hotel is a hidden gem! Perfect location, walking distance to the city centre and the old town and perfectly connected with public transport. The room was super spacious, clean, comfortable and modern. The reception team was always very helpful and attentive. No doubt I would go back again every time I visit Bilbao!

Pros: The hotel is nice and clean. They offer parking for €19 per day. Just a heads-up: you’ll need good maneuvering skills to get your car into the elevator that takes it to the parking levels. The rooms are clean and well maintained. Cons: Be aware that the hotel is VERY close to the Bilbao Crematorium. We had a room facing the inner yard, and we could see the crematorium building directly from our window. At night, the bright light box with the large word "Tanatorio" was clearly visible. I found it very unsettling. We closed the curtains, but it still felt creepy. If that doesn’t bother you, the hotel is a good option. Otherwise, you might want to choose a different place. I asked to change rooms after the first night, and they said it was possible for an extra fee. However, because we had already booked and paid for a city tour that day, we couldn’t meet the time frame they requested for the room change. So we had to stay in the same room for one more night.
