What guests think

Across recent reviews, Bilbao City Rooms is praised for its walkable location near the Guggenheim and transport links, generally clean and comfortable rooms with handy kettles and fridges, and staff who offer helpful tips and occasional early check-in.

Common drawbacks include lack of air conditioning, traffic or corridor noise and thin doors, and some compact or interior rooms with limited views. Some guests also report patchy in-room Wi-Fi, entry procedures with door codes, and minor maintenance issues like slow drains or hot-water lapses. Expect a simple, well-located base for short stays.

We booked two rooms (for two nights) many weeks in advance but were given probably the worst/smallest two rooms one of which did not even have a window! Considering that we paid at least three times more than the hotel's listed price we feel we were short-changed either by Hotels.com or the hotel itself or both! The rooms were tiny, no space for the luggage. Cheapest and the lousiest amenities and a stinking bathroom -almost next to our bed! To be fair they replaced the room without a window on the second day. The only positive thing about this place was its location.

Very nice for a one-night stay to be close to the Guggenheim. Friendly and helpful staff. The only minus - in summer - is that there is no A/C. We were there in late June and it was OK, but I would want to be there in midsummer!

I stayed with my 10-year-old son at Bilbao City Room for a two-night stay in the city. It was a perfect location to visit the Guggenheim Museum (walking distance). It is also a walking distance from the train station. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but if you tend to suffer from the heat, note that there is no air conditioning in the room. Ours had a ceiling fan and the window opened on a quiet courtyard. If you're looking for a good restaurant nearby and feel for Mexican food, try the Chilango.

Overpriced. Room 9 small, sad, uncomfortable, interior. Same price (85) you can stay in a much better hotel in the same area. You should not be paying more than 50 euros max for that tiny gloomy room without even a desk to put your laptop and work, or put your luggage without tripping on it. Avoid it.

Our concierge when we arrived was a great help in pointing out places to visit in the city. His recommendations became our itinerary for the visit!! He was very knowledgeable about the several buildings by world famous architects that have been built in Bilbao. The Guggenheim is just but one of many! One of the more interesting was the adaptive reuse of the Alhondiga by Phillipe Stark, but you have Calatrava, Ando, Moneo, Silva, so many more! Thank you so much to our first concierge at Bilbao City Rooms!

Hotellet ligger meget sentralt i Bilbao, med kort vei til severdigheter og med en hyggelig frokostrestaurant rett rundt hjørnet. Fem minutter å gå til Guggenheim museet og uteliv i sidegatene rett ved. Moderne og nyoppussede rom med god og. Armt vann i dusjen. Rommet hadde også velfungerende kjøleskap og vannkoker.

Esta muy buen ubicado, el hotel no ofrece desayuno pero está al lado de un par de pastelerías/bollerías… está a 5 minutos andando del guggenheim, también está a 5 minutos de la calle comercial y hay gran variedad bares y restaurantes al rededor… los empleados del hotel muy simpaticos, sobre todo con quien hicimos el check-in, que nos explicó la ciudad y los sitios más interesantes… todo genial :)
