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.

We loved Bilbao.
We loved Bilbao. It has many places to visit, it is completely walkable, however, if one prefers, it has so many means of transportation for all tastes and standards. Good food, many parks, great for families.
What can I say, the moment we arrived Lydia took care of us, showing us a map of the city, where to park , how to travel in the city, what to go and see... you name it. The room was more like a small apartment with three separate room; Bedroom, Bathroom and sitting room. The hotel is slap bang in the middle of the old town (Casco Viejo), so the moment you walk out of the door, you have arrived! Tram, Bus and Metro are all in short walking distance from the hotel. Next time I visit Bilbao, and trust me I will! I know where I will be staying!
I have stayed at the Carlton many times, I like the central location, walking distance to the Guggenheim Bilbao and many cafes and restaurants. My room is on the 6th floor (top level). Although it's not huge, it benefits from having access to a small roof terrace (a bonus). The bed is firm ( a rare find in hotels). The central atrium spaces (with a glass ceiling) is a nice place to meet friends. Breakfast is buffet style, with many options (eggs, meat and fruits) to choose from. Overall, its excellent value.
Great location, close to the Old Town but you should keep in mind that you'll need to go up the slopes returning to the hotel from the city center. Anyway, Bilbao subway will help you out and Santutxu station is 5-6 mins. away from Occidental Bilbao. Although the hotel is at pretty busy transport artery the district is great with an old church and a pedestrian alley and park right next to it. Friendly staff, clean interior and comfortable lobby that appeals you to have a coffee with croissant in the morning!
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.
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.
The parking for this was the best of any on our two week trip through Spain. The space was large and in the same building as the apartment. Communication from the property manager was excellent. There is a large supermarket across the street from the apartment and the tram and subway stops are a short distance away. The apartment was nicely furnished with good beds and bedding.
You get a nice student apartment, well equipped and for two or three nights it’s a great accommodation in Bilbao. Metro station is 300 m away and the supermarket is nearby.
It’s no four-star hotel but if you want a four-star hotel, you have to pick one and pay it, the Micampus is great to meet other people if you want
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.
The hotel is in a very good location close to Gugenheim museum and old town - everything in walking distance. The staff was very firendly, attentive and supportive. The room was very clean though pretty small. Nevertheless, it was okey to stay for few days.
We loved the location being at the center of town, next to Old Town, close to the Guggenheim and the Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts. Also walking distance to the beautiful churches. Restaurants, cafes and bars also all around the hotel.
Thé room was small but comfortable and well equipped. Good location in the old town and close to the metro. Excellent ratio quality / price : EUR65 for a single with a double bed, this is the best price of my stay in northern Spain.
Cool, modern hotel with a big, nice terrace! Calm thus the fact that it's a student dorm. Directly above Bilbao's main bus station and only 20 minutes walking distance to the old town (about 15 to Guggenheim museum).
This modern hotel has an excellent location, beautiful views and a friendly staff. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. This is, in my opinion, the best place to stay in Bilbao!
Everything! This is absolutely the best place I have stayed in out of many different sorts of apts and hotels over the past couple of months. Plus, Bilbao is an unexpectedly nice place to visit.
It’s a very clean, modern and chic hotel in the center of Bilbao‘s old town. The staff is very friendly and we received some good tips. We would definitely recommend it and come back.
We stayed here as we have to go to Airport early. Hotel is about 9 kms from Bilbao Airport. The room is very convenient and clean. Bilbao town night spot able to see from Hotel.
Good location, nice and helpful staff. The parking space is close to the hotel and not tight as it is sometimes in Spain.
There is a kettle, coffee and tea in the room.
"My" hotel in Bilbao. 24/7 friendly, helpful reception, good location and not above a square, cafe or other places where noise is more than the usual city level.
