What guests think

We analyzed hundreds of recent reviews of Hesperia Bilbao, which consistently highlight its riverside, walkable location near the Guggenheim, generally friendly and accommodating staff, and comfortable rooms, with many guests praising clean spaces, good breakfasts, and nice views.

A recurring gripe is unreliable or switched-off air conditioning that left some rooms uncomfortably warm, alongside occasional Wi-Fi or street noise complaints. On-site parking is convenient but tight and paid, and parts of the property feel dated with worn carpets or minor maintenance issues in some rooms. Overall, it suits travelers seeking a practical city base in Bilbao rather than a polished luxury experience.

L'hotel è situato a metà tra il Guggenheim e il centro, a pochi passi dal ponte Zubizuri su una bellissima passeggiata che porta al centro, il tram a pochi passi. Ottima la posizione, noi avevamo una superiore in offerta, ottima la pulizia, dotato di parcheggio 21 euro a notte, non abbiamo fatto colazione. Nel complesso un ottimo albergo consiglio nel bagno di cambiare la vasca un po' tarlata e il filo doccia dettagli che mi hanno fatto un po' abbassare il voto. Comunque lo consiglio

We were offered a river-view from for an extra 20 euros and having turned that down it almost felt as if we were being punished by having a room with one velux window in the eaves. Be aware that unless you arrive at the hotel on the riverside road driving South there is nowhere to pull in and the car park isn't obvious. We ended up parking on the street first and then checking in, fortunately we didn't get a ticket. If you have a large car you're going to hate the car park which is very tight especially if you need to get down to the second level. On the plus side the beds are comfortable and the rooms have plenty of space and storage.

The reason I give 3 stars for service is because of an incident in the café. We ordered 3 coffees from a not so interested bar attendant. When I paid with card I accidently pulled out my card from the machine too early (the screen showed a green ✅️ so I assumed it was done). The man got quite annoyed and restarted the process accompanied with a long mumbling of swear words in Spanish (mierda etc.) Not very nice... But everyone else have been very accomodating and been very service minded.

The hotel room maybe not as large as expected but comfortable bed and bedding are huge plus. The soundproofing window, in room coffee maker, and a kettle are another plus, which most span hotel miss those items. The parking is somewhat challenging, and need extra careful move around in the underground parking garage.

Hotel was nice and mostly clean, my room did feel out of maintenance, carpet had stains all over or broken, paint in walls had spots, didn’t feel very clean, found facial hairs on the glasses in the washroom. The room smelled like cigarette a lot, I had to ask for them to change for a room and they only air it up which made the stink go mostly away. The place was 10 min walk distance to the Guggenheim same for most core areas. Staff were nice.

Property is facing the river and the promenade, which is a nice aspect of the city. The hotel is across the water from the Guggenheim in Bilbao, and the stunning Zubizari bridge is directly outside the hotel. The rooms could be a bit better maintained as noticeable damage to the walls (scuff marks that need painting over) and the wood paneling (suitcases clearly knicked the wood paneling in my room), and the toilet paper holders are installed at 8 degree angle for some reason. Dust bunnies behind the mini refrigerator could also be tended to as well. Please consider providing more outlets in the room for guests, as it was difficult to find an outlet for the iron. Also, please consider putting regular ironing boards in the rooms as the small ones provided to guests are insufficient.

Petite pâtisserie d’accueil et tous après-midi dans le hall d’entrée, nous avions une boisson rafraîchissante et des bonbons à disposition. Le petit-déjeuner était bon et varié. Cet hôtel est très bien situé, nous faisions tout à pied et le réceptionniste nous avait donné de très bonnes recommandations pour les visites et les restaurants.

Lage des Hotels zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten von Bilbao wie Innenstadt, Guggenheim-Museum und Altstadt gut, da alles fußläufig erreichbar ist. Das Hotel selber ist, es vornehm auszudrücken, in die Jahre gekommen. Wir hatten eine Suite upgegradet, was ein Witz war. Der Zustand der Suite heruntergekommen mit diversen Schäden an Wänden, Mobiliar und Vorhängen. Die Klima-Anlage funktionierte aus welchen Gründen auch immer nicht und das bei 30° Aussentemperatur und kompletter Sonneneinstrahlung. Der der Badewanne fehlte der Stopfen und die Düsen zur Massage funktionierten ebenfalls nicht. Interesse an einer Reparatur bestand beim Personal ebenfalls nicht. Frühstück mittelmäßig. Die Freundlichkeit des Personals hat deutlich Luft nach oben!!

Myself and 2 friends had a triple room. The en-suite within the room has frosted doors that aren’t sealed so not only can you see silhouettes when showering/going to the toilet, there no sound proofing. This can make it very awkward for couples or friends. This was the only complaint for the hotel. There was a great selection for breakfast and staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and location couldn’t have been better. Everything is walkable!

Overall I would say the stay was just average and acceptable. I don’t think it is quite worth the price and we were underwhelmed by the general standard of all facilities. The room was tired, the black out curtain ripped and hanging off, black mould on the window surround. The bathroom was dark and dated also. Breakfast was underwhelming, a big choice but not of a very high quality or anything particularly special. Staff friendly, room quiet and comfortable. Check in slow. Well located for Guggenheim and walkable to old town.

The location was great, easy walk to both the old town and Guggenheim, however it felt a bit overpriced for what the room was. Nor was there any tourist information anywhere at all, and no recycling at all. The reception staff were friendly, my main issue was with the "restaurant". There was only a handful of us in the bar/eating area, but I was ignored for nearly 20 minutes, and then received what looked and tasted like microwaved lasagne, so I wouldn't recommend eating there.
