What guests think

Across recent reviews, Catalonia Gran Vía Bilbao stands out for its central, walkable location, friendly staff, modern comfortable rooms, and an excellent breakfast, while a very small rooftop pool and tight paid parking are common drawbacks.

Several guests also mention enjoying the spa and rooftop terrace. There are occasional lapses in the bar or restaurant and sporadic housekeeping or maintenance issues such as odors or temperamental air conditioning. Expect a stylish, well-located base with compact leisure facilities.

Booked due to so many ‘exceptional’ reviews…. its less than. Check in experience varies by who you get.. Room was good- shower great but not exceptional… This hotel does not have a pool… please dont book thinking there is! 84cms deep and you can reach either side ish if standing in the middle. 8 sun loungers… to a hotel this big? We looked as many did for another part.. and because our check in lacked depth.. like the pool..we couldnt see where you got the towels from. Very noisy air con and to our surprise we were charged for water in the room.. seemed a little much given the price of the stay… The hotel is in a good location and our room did have a balcony which was pleasant. **dont book a hotel with a pool.. use the Artxanda pool central location - cheap, stay all day, has a sun deck etc only 7:80e soooo good!

Bilbao ist ein großartiges Erlebnis. Das Catalonia liegt ideal zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Auch der Airport-Bus hält in der Nähe (nur 3 Euro one way). Nur das Angebot "Spa/Wellness" im Untergeschoss und die "Piscina" außen im 8. Stock sind eher ein Witz! Spa: klein, nur je eine Dampf- und Saunakabine. Man muss Slot buchen und Massage war keine verfügbar. Das Schwimmbecken auf dem Dach ist ungefähr 3 Meter lang und 2.50 breit. "Schwimmen" also eher "nada" ...

Comfy room and beds with quiet air con. Nice shower room. The rooftop pool was disappointing. It is very small. The terrace is nice but can get busy as only 10 sun beds. The parking cost 25 euros a night, which was by far the most expense on our trip. No idea where hotels.com got the idea it was free as stated in the listing.

A large group of people obstructing the little lobby ,entrance of the door and later outside the door . Customers come in and go out with our baggage, so blocking important spaces may finished in accidents. In fact ,I told one of the people at the desk to talk to them , didn't want to take any action. Four people at list were at the Front desk nobody took action anytime. Rooms are clean in general but some of the cleaners are just drying not cleaning . Other employees where extremely helpful and correct ,with very good skills .

It was my second stay with this hotel. This time, the coffee machine was out of order ( they said they will fix it next day )and the scale was also not working which was not fixed even in next day. Floor towel was missing when checked in in the first day. Ali, the staff who was always very helpful, sent to the room swiftly.

Hotel was nicely modern and well kept. We got a room with a balcony facing the interior courtyard - it was nice & quiet. The room was a comfortable size with a good sized bathroom with walk in shower. Conveniently located on Gran Via with many restaurants close by and a grocery store within walking distance. A bus stop a block away on Gran Via that can take you to the train station or old town. The front staff was generally fine except for one guy. A bit aggressive & not exactly personable. A girl greeted us & was going to help - he cut in & took over. His communication was a bit abrupt & a bit condescending.

It was a slow night and they simply forgot about us.

A nice modern hotel. Nothing remarkable about it. Slight frustration was that we were upgraded because of my Expedia points, but to a room with two single beds. For a married couple that was irritating and had we been staying for more than one night we would have complained. Equally, a request for water was refused as 'room service was shut' which I thought was pretty ridiculous too.
