2-Star Hotels in Greater Bilbao

I have a great stay! The location is fantastic — just a few steps from the Guggenheim Museum, which made exploring the city super convenient. The room was very cozy, clean, and comfortable — exactly what we were hoping for. However, there's one detail that could be clearer: the hotel advertises ”private parking,” but in reality, it's a public city parking lot located about 450 meters away. It costs €20 per day, and there is no parking directly at the hotel. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely something to know in advance.

Hostel is conveniently located right outside metro station with many cheap food options and bars located nearby. Also a short 20 min riverside walk to the Guggenheim. Beds are clean, spacious, with small ledge to conveniently put toiletries. Very nice that the toilet is separated from shower so there is less waiting time and shower has both shampoo and body wash provided.

Loved my stay at Hotel Arriaga! The location is absolutely perfect – right in the heart of everything and super easy to walk everywhere. The room was clean, modern, and the bed was super comfy. The staff were really lovely and gave us some great tips for local pintxo bars. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious, which we appreciated. Small note for light sleepers: ask for a room away from the street, as it can get a bit lively at night (but that's part of the charm of being in a great location!). The WiFi was also a bit spotty at times. Overall, fantastic value for money. Would definitely stay here again for a casual city break! Perfect for: Travelers who want a central spot without the fancy price tag.

Great little hotel for travelling on the ferry to the UK. Was easy to find, great reception staff. Clean. Room was adequate and the bed very comfortable. Food was very enjoyable also the restaurant & cafe staff were very good. Would definitely recommend.

Decent budget option with reasonable facilities. The neighbourhood can be a little noisy at night and what a terrible choice to put in those extremely loud beeping room entry systems! You can hear everybody come and go!

Stayed just for one night. I arrived very late, like 1 AM. They let me stay in the lobby even though it was closed because I needed to use my laptop. Very clean. The only thing is that they don't make you the bed. So, in my case I went to sleep like 2:30 AM and had to improvise something to avoid bothering the others in the room.

I stayed one night in a shared mixed dorm. The room and bathroom were clean, and the bed was comfortable. Staff were friendly and spoke English, which made check-in easy. Breakfast was basic but free, with bread, coffee, and juice. The hostel is not in the city center, but there is a bus stop right outside that takes you to the center in about 15 minutes. There is also a kitchen if you want to cook your own food, and lockers for your things. Good choice if you want something affordable and quiet.

The room was basic but clean and was situated on the outskirts of Bilbao. The sound insulation was terrible and other guests could be heard clearly though the walls. I also found the room very cold and there was no aircon or heating system to help guests stay warm. Reception isn’t 24/7 so no one to ask questions of. I thought the place was massively over priced as it is rather like a youth hostel as there isn’t a joining bathroom facility.

I was affraid about this hotel, because majority of people who stayed here leave nagative respond. As for bed bug, I couldn't see it for couple of day. Receptionist are quite low key, and Hotel locates at slum area, also bit far away from the central. Overall, hotel is still decent choice as long as you're in the moment to cut your expenditure off.
