Bilbao Abando 3-star Hotels

The hotel is in a good location, Bilbao is not very large and you can access most of the city on foot, or by tram. It has been refurbished and has good services, but yes, EYE with the disco that is on the ground floor of the same hotel. From room 709 that overlooks a courtyard, the music rumbled and until 4 in the morning we could not keep an eye, even being on the seventh floor. I told the manager that I was at the Reception at 11:30 pm when I arrived at the hotel, I looked at myself like saying 'this girl is crazy' and the next day I tell the reception staff. If there is a club at the bottom, then they should 1) soundproof the disco well so that it doesn't rumble in the rooms, or 2) change the windows for sound insulators. It has annoyed me personally over the weekend, so I do not recommend it.

We arrived via the airport bus and found the accommodation easily thanks to reading the reviews beforehand. It is a doorway with a many signs including one for Bilbao city rooms. The rooms are on floors 4 and 5 with Reception on the 4th. Check in was fast and simple with a warm welcome from the lady at reception. The whole two floors have well lit clean corridors and the lift is great. The room was a very clean well presented modern double with a large shower room and plenty of storage. The window s can be opened and I like other reviews mentioning the heat and the ceiling fan... we can say it’s chilly at night but the heating does come on at ten! The location of these room is very central and excellent l. Great transport links if needed but we walked all around the old and new parts of the city with the Guggenheim, bars and restaurants all on our doorstep. Shopping in Bilbao is fantastic and dint be afraid to visit the 2nd hand stores .. some amazing finds!!!

The location of the hotel is superb. The most newest hotel in Bilbao. The parking brothers are super nice. Everyone speaks good English. Four-star hotel. Five-star + service. When checking in, the big brother at the front desk introduced various local attractions and food. When I checked out, I parked the car a lot. Will eat pinchos before coming back, hotel has parking lot for 18 euros a day

We stayed four nights in a NYX Suite in the middle of August. This hotel has an excellent location at the entrance to the old Town. The Renfe train station to Madrid and Barcelona is about 6 minutes walking across the bridge right in front of the hotel. This bridge also takes you to the major shopping street of Bilbao as well. The Guggenheim is a pleasant 20 minute stroll along the river and around the corner you'll find the Plaza Barria with some of the best pinxto bars in the Basque country. The metro station that will take you right to the intermodal bus station is a short 2 minute walk away. The suite was compact with only a double bed, but the bathroom was roomy and the shower easily fit two. Storage was minimal, but there was a safe, mini fridge, iron and ironing board. The coffee maker was an imitation Nespresso, but the pods were Lavazza. The balcony had a fantastic 270 degree view of the old Town and the newer city across the river. A negative note: Almost every evening we came home to discover a new invasion of ants crossing our room, slipping under the door and parading down the hall.

We spent 4 nights here when exploring the Basque Country. It was the perfect location - close to the old town and the Guggenheim. We could walk to everywhere in the city, and the tram stopped just the other side of the bridge for if travelling further afield. There were handy shops and a bakery just around the corner and the kitchen was well equipped for preparing light meals - we ate breakfast here every day. The room was spacious, clean and warm, tastefully decorated in a neutral style. Polite and helpful staff. We would definitely stay again next time we visit Bilbao, and will try other hotels from this chain.

We had a lovely 4 night stay at the at Mercure Bilbao Jardines de Albia - Great welcome, Our ‘Privilege’ Room on the 7th floor was lovely very spacious with a very comfortable King size bed, large closet with hanging and shelf space and a large safe. There was a minibar with complimentary water 2 still and 1 sparkling, 2 beers and 2 Coca Cola which was replenished every day. There is a coffee machine. Good controllable air conditioning. The Bathroom had a large walk-in shower. There is a nightclub nearby so there is some noise at night so if you are a light sleeper you should ask for a quiet room. Perfect location - The hotel is 15 min stroll to the Guggenheim museum and its about 10 minute walk from the centres of both the old and new towns, there is a Corte Ingles about 10 mins walk away on the main street and the hotel is just a couple of minutes from the river. The Lobby bar is great and the staff are pleasant and helpful and prices are very reasonable – it was lovely sitting outside having a glass of wine. It is very easy to get to from the airport A3247 bus stop, Journey from the airport is about 20 minutes. Great staff All the staff we met were helpful. Reception is on the 3rd Floor. Breakfast is on the 4th floor with good coffee machines and a great fresh orange juice machine. Thank you to all the restaurant and bar staff especially the manager and also Pedro. The housekeeping was efficient, and everything was spotless. There are so many amazing restaurants and bars in Bilbao serving great food – We were lucky enough to be in Bilbao for the start of the festival and we really enjoyed the amazing firework display on Saturday night. We are already looking forward to returning to Bilbao and the Mercure Bilbao Jardines de Albia.

I stayed with my partner and 5 year old. Lovely boutique hotel, very central. We were facing the street so was very noisy at night with drunken people outside ( even with the windows shut). The reception staff were very nice. The first morning we had breakfast , included in our price and was very enjoyable. The second morning there was an older Spanish waitress who was very rude. We were going to fix up for one breakfast on checkout but she made a big deal that we had only booked one breakfast and spoke to us in Spanish. I told her that I did not understand but she continued to raise her voice. My 5 year old ate nothing so we put some melon slices in a lunch for up in the room. She charged over and raised her voice in Spanish pointing at the melon slices. . My partner emptied the melon onto a plate which she grabbed and threw in the bin. It was very humiliating. I told reception and they did not seem surprised. When I went to fix up , reception charged us again for the first mornings breakfast which was €16 per head. Also you are charged a daily rate for parking so it all added up to be an expensive stay.

The staff is very professional and the hotel is perfect. Breakfast was complete. The staff of the restaurant was very efficient and reactive.

We arrived late at night at the hotel after a day's travel but the hotel staff greeted us warmly and were there to help us with our bags. The hotel is located opposite San Mamés Stadium towards the west end of the city centre, with handy tram stops nearby. However we walked while in the city, 5 minutes or so down to the river, 15 minutes to the Guggenheim and 20-25 minutes to the old town, a great location. The hotel is a modern build, bit of a 'block' but not without character. We had a good sized room, all the expected facilities, including tea and coffee making. The bed was comfortable and large! The toilet was not spacious but there was plenty room and all the facilities one would expect, a good shower and plenty of hot water. Unfortunately, we didn't have much of a view from our room, we looked out over a courtyard and the town at the back of the hotel with a tree partially obscuring the window. This wasn't a huge drawback for us, as we spent more time out than in however it might be a consideration. The other side of the hotel looks out on to the football stadium. There was no game on while we were there but I would imagine it would be busy and noisy during a match. The hotel has a terrace bar that overlooks the river but this was not open during our stay. We had booked rooms with breakfast and this is one of the highlights of this hotel. There is a great range of options, laid out buffet style. There are also cooked items available. The food covered local offerings, 'international' items and some temptations, ever had a glass of Cava or a 'Bloody Mary' for breakfast? I enjoyed the fruit, the pastries, smoked salmon, rolls and toasted bread, really appreciating so much variety and quality food. The coffee from a 'pod' machine was rich and tasty. Other hot drinks were available. A word too for the friendly waitress who ran the whole show with calm efficiency, she was always there to advise and help. Generally we ate in the town centre however one night we ate locally at a good pintxos bar, busy with a fine selection of food and rink, about ten minutes walk from the hotel. There seemed to be plenty other options close by that might be worth exploring. Check out was 12:00 which gave us time for a final walk before we left. The hotel provides a left luggage service which enabled us to leave our bags while we went to pick up our hire car. This was the first hotel on our holiday and from the initial warm welcome to the helpful services on departure we enjoyed our stay. Comfortable rooms, the great breakfast and helpful and friendly staff all came together to provide a very enjoyable experience.

lovely experience at the Autograph, staff was really friendly and the location was perfect - you could walk to many places. there are food available in the late night in the vicinity as well. the rooftop bar has a great view for an afternoon cerveza! room was comfortable and had sufficient space for 2 person.
