Top Santiago Cathedral Hotel Reviews

voco Bilbao City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient, clean hotel on quiet street. Exemplary staff, and excellent meals and drinks."

Barceló Bilbao Nervión

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Easy walking to old town with great eating options, museum, outdoor market on weekend. Safe and comfortable. Breakfast offers great choices. Parking demand exceeds available on site but a garage is nearby for self parking at reasonable cost. Room is spacious with light but no views. Elevators are too crowded at peak period with stairs more convenient. Will stay again for location. Accessible by Airport bus (5euro) to town plus 12 min walk."

Mercure Bilbao Jardines De Albia

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed my 3 night stay here. The hotel is in a great location, the staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and well decorated, would recommend."

Batimont Suites & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"A serviced apartment located 5 minutes from train station and directly across from green open space. Within easy walking of all old town sites, the river and Guggenheim. Very comfortable and well equipped with quality fixtures and furniture. Beautiful floor to ceiling balcony doors leading to a small balcony. Easy and reasonably priced laundry facilities on site. Well priced and good value for money. Highly recommend."

Casual Bilbao Gurea

8/10 Good

"I suggest that they put air aconditioning in the rooms, the rooms only have ventilators"

Eurostars Indautxu

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel has a perfect location. The personnel is kind and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much"

Petit Palace Arana

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Close to buses, taxis etc. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room had powerful shower. Comfortable bed. Good selection of food at breakfast."

Occidental Bilbao

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in good overall condition, and the service at the restaurant during dinner was superb. I would especially like to recognize the red-haired lady who worked on the evening of Monday, 09/28/26. She was absolutely wonderful and provided excellent service. I hope the manager can share our comments and appreciation with her (guests from Miami). The hotel’s location is something to consider. I would not recommend it for guests who want to be in the center or within walking distance of the Old Town, as the main attractions are not easily accessible on foot. However, if you are comfortable using Uber, the location is not a major issue. The housekeeping service was excellent. My only suggestion would be to give the bathroom shower a more thorough deep cleaning. The breakfast is expensive, there are many other places at the old town with excellent selection, and cheaper. Overall, this is a good hotel choice as long as you take into consideration that the main attractions and Old Town are not within walking distance."

Sercotel Arenal Bilbao

10/10 Excellent

"A nice hotel. It is clean, modern and well maintained. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice. The best thing is the location, just on the edge of the old town and next to the river. The only slight drawback was that the room was on the top floor and it was very warm despite the air-conditioning."
