I loved this hotel--it was old school comfy, with large hallways and rooms, very clean, lovely staff, lovely old bar that was great place to have a drink and unwind. And the location was fabulous. A bus to and from airport stops right next door. And you can walk 10 mins to Old Town, 10 mins to the Guggenheim. Take a metro to Getxo right outside the door. And the hotel overlooks a lovely city circle with beautiful plantings, so lots of light (at least in the rooms that face the front!) The staff were always helpful and went the extra mile. This was one of my favorite hotels ever!

Hotel was well located and not too long a walk from the Guggenheim and the old town. It was close to a metro stop as well as the bus stop for the bus that goes to/from the airport. It was also close to many recommended restaurants and there was a grocery store a block away. The room was really spacious with loads of storage space. The beds were pretty comfortable. There was complimentary water and other drinks in the minibar - though we did not realise it until the end of our stay. We had a room with a small balcony and it was nice to step out there.

This is a true 5 star hotel. The type of hotel that set the rules for all 5 star. Contrary to many 5 star. It’s ideally located. Near to Gran Via. And also to Guggenheim. It’s an historical hotel. Hemingway wrote about it. “During his stay in Bilbao he shared the fiesta and hotel with Lauren Bacall (widow of Humphrey Bogart). And from the hotel he wrote "we had good rooms in Carlton Hotel, it is an excellent hotel (...) the ground flor, the bar and the dinning room were full of people waiting for their tables".

This is a large hotel in a prominent position in the city within relatively easy walking distance of some of the main attractions. It's a five star hotel and shows that throughout. If you are in a car they expect you to initially park under the front colonnade, which seems a little awkward as you have to drive across the busy footway. There is a small underground car park that you are then directed to, if there is space. The room was well appointed and comfortable as you would expect in a five star hotel.

Where do we start - amazing service from the get-go, emailed to say we would be arriving on the ferry at 8 am + would it be possible to park in the garage when we got to Bilbao which was 9 am, when we got there not only could we use the garage space, we could also access our room, v impressed + v v grateful. Concierge staff v helpful + courteous, a true gent, also the guy on reception. V v pleased from start to finish, highly recommend. Our little dog Toby was made v welcome which is also a big plus for us.
