Top Ensanche Hotel Reviews

Hotel Sercotel Coliseo

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Staff very nice and helpful. Breakfast delicious, especially bread (if you like crusty)."

Radisson Collection Bilbao

8/10 Good

"Huge room and very comfortable. Great shower. Concierge team were fantastic, we arrived during a huge rainstorm which scuppered our dinner plans, but they recommended a great restaurant nearby and booked us a taxi there. The rooftop restaurant and bar is very pretty but drinks were average at best and staff were completely in chaos with the bad weather and were actually pretty rude."

Axel Hotel Bilbao – Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, perfect for old town, train station, river walks and food market. We were impressed by the hotel and its welcoming vibe. Breakfast was plentiful. Spa -sauna, steam room and large jacuzzi - were great. Didn’t use the rooftop pool or bar. WiFi & tv channels worked well."
