I Liked the location of the hotel, set on an island in the river. The location was quiet, although there is a lot of building development close bye, but the double glazing in the hotel was excellent and you could not hear any outside noise when the windows were closed. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the shops, bars/cafes, metro, etc. There is an excellent bar/café right next door to the hotel providing hot and cold drinks, tapas and snacks. The hotel itself does not provide meals, but there is a free hot drinks machine for use in the mornings and late afternoon/evening. There is also a vending machine that takes cash for snacks, etc. The hotel has a large lift to all floors. The room was of a good size and I did have a chance to upgrade for a price, but I choose not to. The double bed was very comfy, there was a desk and chair, bedside tables, a comfortable arm chair, wall mounted TV and a phone for internal calls only. The bathroom and shower was of a good size and towels were provided. Everything was clean and modern despite the building being established. The hotel is family run with the owners living at the premises. On check-in you are given a does and don'ts sheet which was very useful and check-out was easy, just depositing the key in the box provided just outside the check-in desk. The hotel is fully secure with CCTV and a swipe card to gain access to the hotel and your room. I will return to Bilbao and will definitely use this hotel again.

I liked everything. The transport system was excellent, metro, busses and trams. The people were friendly and Bilbao is a laid back city, no one in a rush. The bars/cafes, restaurants, etc were great and very reasonably priced. There is plenty to see and do, Guggenheim museum and San Malmes stadium tour were two of the highlights. The parks are fab to just sit and relax and the coast is just a 20 minute metro ride. The funicular ride is worth it and the view of the city from the top is fantastic. The old town is a maze of narrow streets with shops, bars/cafes and restaurants. Again a short ride away on the metro. The Baskian restaurant/brewery in the main shopping centre serves authentic Basque food and is very reasonable. The Wicklow bar in the centre of the city is the place to go for a great draught pint of Guinness in a proper glass, small, but always popular and a friendly welcome by the owner, Mick. The only down side that I found was that there are not many public toilets, but you can always dip into a bar/café and maybe another tipple and some tapas! I will definately return.

Excellent place for a long weekend visit.
Excellent place for a long weekend visit. The city has been given a good upgrade on public areas and there are very nice walks and spaces to chill along the Nervion river, the old part of the town or the new city.
Good transport system and good connection to the airport and train station.
Great place for pintxos and chiquiteo (tapas and bar hoping) as well as modern art (guggenheim museum really stands out), or just simply chill in a nice urban setting. Plenty of shopping spots too.

The Guggenheim of course, but the city is elegant, bright and bustling. The bridges alone are worth going there for. We ate at small cafes and pincho bars of which there are countless numbers. There is an underground metro and tram routes, but we walked. There is a pleasant walk along the river.

Bilbao is a beautiful city set on the river , lots to see and do when there and you definately need 3 days to cover it all , we went out to the bay of biscay on one of the days and it was worth it ,we travelled on the orange line to Niguri got off there walked the coast line and got back on metro at Areeta back to abando where out hotel is. My main tip is try to get a main meal in the middle of the day as we found it hard to eat at night apart from Tapas bars which really didnt suit a gluten intolerant person in the party .

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...
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.
Perfect location across the street from Guggenheum museum, a short walk to the old town along the river. Compact but nice gym/wellness area. The rooms are nicely appointed but not the most inspiring view when looking into the courtyard at the shaft of the giant phallic sculpture. The lavender spray at turndown is a lovely touch. The staff are super and always willing to help. Good parking facilities and quite accessible, not as tight or difficult to navigate as many city centre hotels in Spain.
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.
It was only 2 minutes walk from the metro station, and in the middle of the lively neighbourhood of Old Town of Bilbao. Very convenient for our brief city holiday. The room was very clean and comfortable, and we slept very well as the window blocked the street noise & the curtain blocked the morning light. Staffs were very organised and helpful - they contacted me through WhatsApp, helped me locating where the hotel was. Very happy experience overall!
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.
Located on the Paseo Campo Volantin, the hotel is an easy walk to the Funicular de Artxanda, and to the Zubizuri pedestrian bridge over the Nervion, thus very convenient to the great views and great places in the old and new Bilbao. The Hotel staff were most helpful and courteous. Our room was clean and quiet. The breakfast buffet in the cafe/restaurant was an excellent way to start the day.
Very comfy bed and a huge, clean bathroom. Hotel is 100 meters from Bilbao's main metro station. It's also on the edge of old town which means you're close enough to explore but far enough that it was quiet at night. Free bag storage and impressive breakfast spread (we didn't partake). Our receptionist was super friendly and helpful, just wish I remembered her name!
Hotel Carlton was an elegant and beautiful hotel in the heart of Bilbao . Across the road from a beautiful park and amongst tree lined wide boulevards. The staff were delightful and the rooms were beautifully appointed . We really enjoyed our stay and would have liked to stay longer . Thank you Hotel Carlton . We hope to come back again one day .
I liked the fact that this hotel was super clean. The rooms are simple but very well equipped, the size is good as well. It is very close to the Guggenheim and about 5 minutes from Gran Via de Bilbao. The historic part is about 15-20 minutes walking. It is really convenient for the airport since it's only a 20 minute bus ride away.
Great hotel in a very good location. It was 5 minutes to the Guggenheim, and 15 to the old town. There were lots of restaurants locally or a short walk away. The hotel was very clean, the room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. The staff were helpful and very welcoming. I’d recommend the hotel to anyone coming to Bilbao.
What a perfect location!!! Close to a tram stop and one of the train stations, close to Plaza Nueva (great pintxos bars) and the San Nicolas church where many tours start. We loved Bilbao and thus hotel was clean, comfortable, safe, spacious, well-appointed, and perfectly located. I'd stay here again!
This a terrific property located in the heart of Bilbao. The hotel is new and has every amenity you need. Breakfast is robust with made to order egg options. Parking is on site and only €20 per night. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a terrace level room and loved the outdoor space.
Location is on the edge of the Old Town that offers the historic charm of Bilbao as well as many dining options. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. FYI, the hotel supplies L’Occitane bath gel, shampoo, and conditioner. Also, compliments to the staff especially Elvira and Amaya.
The experience was extraordinary! The staff were so nice and warm! And the cleaning was every day, and rather than great!! If I went Bilbao again, I'd like to book Hotel SIRIMIRI again. Another thing is about the location, right beside the old town!! So convenient to travel around!!
This hotel is in a great location for exploring the old town in Bilbao and all of the major tourist attractions including the Guggenheim. We have stayed there before and we're very happy to return. It's a good value tourist hotel with nice breakfast and very friendly staff.
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.
If you are coming to Bilbao to see the Guggenheim, the Gran Hotel Domine is the place to stay. a little pricey but worth it for the experience. The room was large and comfortable and the view of the museum spectacular. The staff was friendly and helpful.
The location was very convenient for us. The staff were very gracious and helpful, the room was pretty good size compared to others I have stayed in while traveling in Spain and the hotel and room were all very clean.
Location, walking distance from mayor attractions in Bilbao. The staff was friendly and help with tips about were to eat, most see and how to get there. Always welcome everyone that enter the hotel.
