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.

Bilbao is a small city so 3/4 days is plenty to see all the main attractions. There is a great range of restaurants to choose from, many do not serve food until after 7.30pm and many close during the afternoon. The Guggenheim and Fine Art Gallery are worth a visit, also take the Funacular to get a great view of the city, this is just beside the Old Town. We took a trip by metro out to Getxo for a day by the sea and this was well worth the trip.

I liked everything.
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.
Excellent Hotel with superb staff. we were received at the reception by Alex and Maria who were very helpful, always with a smile on their faces and very professional and made us feel welcome. the rooms are very clean and you have everything you need. the hotel in general looks new, smells very good, the location is perfect, very close to all the main attractions in the city but at the same time a quiet area. We would almost return to Bilbao just for this hotel
We had a great stay here at the Hotel Miro. The location couldn’t be better- just a few minutes from the Guggenheim Museum. Our room had a great view of the museum which made it extra nice. The hotel is also beautiful, with a modern design and lots of art everywhere. We got a package deal with breakfast and 2 tickets to the Guggenheim which was a great value. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit Bilbao. Highly recommend!
The arrival by car was smooth and there is a valet parking underneath the hotel, so very convenient. Location is excellent, right across the Bilbao Guggenheim. Excellent breakfast is on the top floor terrace overlooking the Museum. Only 15 min walk to the old town, and many nice restaurants on the way there. We also enjoyed the stroll along the river on the north bak towards the old town. Room was very nice, especially the bath room.
A pleasant hotel in the new city centre, on the main street of Bilbao. The hotel has an excellent location, within walking distance of the Guggenheim Museum and the Museo de Bellas Artes. Availability of various types of pintxos bars in the nearby area. Walking distance to the Old Town. The room was spacious enough, equipped with a coffee maker. Very good breakfast. Extremely professional and helpful reception staff.
Friendliness of your staff - size and design of the room - great location so close to everything that is important in Bilbao such as the Guggenheim Museum, the city, the river, the old town, etc.
There is a lot of open space around the hotel, nice to walk around, even at night. Never had any concerns about safety. Easy to reach by car. The perfect hotel for a few days to discover this great city.
High class hotel with great view of the city of Bilbao (if your room is on any of the upper floors). Friendly reception checked us in very quickly even before the actual arrival time. They expedited our room makeup and we got our room about half an hour after checking in—right at check in time. Breakfast was super great with a huge selection of bread, fruits, vegetables, and freshly cooked meals.
Excellent location as travelled via coach. The hotel is located directly above Bilbao Intermodal station and entrance is around the corner.
All tourist destinations are within walking distance - 2 mins to San Mames stadium, 20 mins to Guggenheim, 30-40 mins to old town.
Swift check in and very nice room, modern and beautiful with large flat screen TV on wall.
Comfy bed and superb shower.
It must be by far the best 4star hotel i've stayed. Wonderful and exceptionally clean room, beautiful colours on decoration, amazing bathroom amenities, and high quality brands used. Excellent breakfast, impeccable service from hotel staff. Beautiful, cozy, warm and so welcoming lobby area. Hotel close to every attraction you must see in Bilbao. A stay to always remember!
We loved this stylish, modern hotel in an excellent location in Bilbao convenient for everything. Our room was bright and spacious with a small balcony onto the street which was very atmospheric. Also good soft lighting in the room (which isn’t always the case!). We appreciated the comfortable lounge/salon area to do some laptop work too.
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.
We liked everything, it was the best hotel we had during our stay in Spain. Great room, very spacious, great AC. Very modern building and everything is still new. Fully recommend. If we ever come back to Bilbao we will choose the same place.
Excellent Hotel, very welcoming on arrival, lovely young lady greeted us. Room was so clean and fresh. Everything about this hotel was amazing. Location, cleanliness, and friendly. Would definitely recommend if you are visiting Bilbao
The location, close to the Ribera market and Bilbao old town (siete calles) Abando station was a 20 min walk, trams run regularly from outside the market.taking you aroun the city. Clean hotel at a reasonable price
The location is close to the old town. The Guggenheim Bilbao Museum is also within walking distance.
The hotel is a small one. The room is small, but comfortable, clean and quiet.
Everything...From the staff to the location...You could not ask for a better hotel in Bilbao...Personal attention in an laid back environment makes for a enjoyable stay...
Location was perfect, service was great. Breakfast was good. Customer service exceeded expectations. Will recommend this hotel to my friends in Bilbao. Thank you
