4-Star Hotels in Bilbao

Rooms are incredibly spacious and comfortable. Location is perfectly located to easily walk to the Guggenheim, old town and a metro stop very close by. Plenty of shops and coffee/breakfast/brunch places close by. Staff are also lovely.

Although the location isn't in a busy area, transportation is quite convenient. It's within walking distance of Guggenheim, and there are many supermarkets of various sizes nearby. Just be aware of their opening hours; they're all closed on Sundays.

What a great hotel! Across the board we were blown away by how perfect this hotel made our stay. The staff - ALWAYS helpful and fun and professional. The room - Beautiful, large double bed for us was more than adequate and a large room. Bathroom - Great size and LARGE tub and shower with TONS of water pressure. Location - Bilbao is one of the most walkable cities, but the hotel is right at the edge of the river so 10 min to Guggenheim and 5 min to the old town. Breakfast - We had breakfast a couple times and the beans and eggs were my staple. The eggs were off the first visit, but the second visit they were much better. Bacon and pastries were tasty and the cream cheese with herbs was a treat. We will be back for sure. You won't be disappointed by staying here.

Great breakfast with many choices of food & very comfortable atmosphere. All hotel staff provide very good & professional services, especially the reception & the technical staff. The lobby lounge “EL Hall” is excellent, we were there everyday.

It was very nice historic renovated building, in front of the river and in the Old city. Very clean and spacious room. Very friendly staff & a parking close to hotel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Location, Cozy Room—Watch the Bed! Vicci Consulado de Bilbao has a fantastic location—right in the heart of the city, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and public transport. It’s perfect for exploring Bilbao on foot. The room itself was stylish and clean, though quite compact. If you’re traveling light, it’s fine, but space is definitely tight. One funny (and slightly painful) moment: I actually fell off the bed! It’s positioned close to the wall and a bit narrow, so maybe not ideal if you toss and turn at night. Despite that, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall vibe of the hotel was modern and welcoming. I’d recommend it for solo travelers or couples who don’t mind a snug space and want to be in the middle of the action.

We had such a great time this year for Semana Grande. And the Axel Hotel was in the perfect location for us. Right on the river next to a great spot for drinks and food. The rooftop pool is also a great spot to watch the fireworks! The staff was so helpful and friendly. And although we didn't need housekeeping while we were staying there they offered every day to clean our room or swap out towels or necessities for us. What a great experience. We will definitely be back!

This is a lovely hotel and very central , the staff are supper amazing and we even got a room upgrade when we complained that we didn’t have a room with a view

I really liked the residence, a quiet, peaceful place, close to the metro. When I left, there was a late flight, and they allowed me to leave my things at the reception, she came to pick them up and calmly took them.

The location is very good, five minutes walk to the train station, quiet in the middle of noisy. The front desk staff was very enthusiastic and patient. grateful!
