Bilbao City Rooms

This was a great location for assess to the central train station, the bus stop to the airport, the big museums and local shops. The room was big and comfortable. The fridge and kettle a happy bonus. Reception staff were friendly and helpful.

The saving graces for BC Rooms are the location (only 5 mins walk from the Guggenheim museum) and somewhat friendly staff. But this is when it stops. We had a very damp smelling room. After notifying staff we got new sheets (as the smell emitted from the beds) and an air-freshener!!! Which helped for about a day but the smells came back. All hotels were booked during our stay, so we had no other option but stay. As mentioned by other reviewers the 'hotel' must have been a former hostel with all its downsides still present - the walls and doors are thin, you hear the neighbours, equipment is the bare minimum, very small rooms, no aircon just a very loosely rotating fan. Conclusion: this might be an option for an emergency stay for a night, but I'd be looking for another place to stay in Bilbao.

Es una muy buena opción, relación calidad/precio. El servicio es inmejorable, la mejor nota de todas! Las camas camas/almohadas pueden mejorar un poco. Las paredes son muy delgadas y se escucha todo el movimiento en la mañana, pero si sales temprano no hay problema. Repetiríamos!

Spotless clean, very quiet at night and just a few minutes from the river and The Guggenheim Museum. Low key boutique style in an old building, comfortable bed, spacious bathroom and good storage space. Basic kettle with biscuits, tea and coffee.

I really loved our room! It was spacious. It was perfect for 3 people. They had a ceiling fan! I discovered that hotels don't have AC options during winter times, that's why I mentioned the ceiling fan. The reason why I chose Bilbao City Rooms is because of its proximity to the Guggenheim (7mins walk).

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.

very loud, the walls are paper thin and you hear the receptionist yelling, the guests coughing in their rooms, grossly clearing their throats, going to the bathroom etc

This hotel is located a very short distance from the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, and a large shopping district. The bus from the airport to city center stops just steps away from the hotel. In fact, it is the first stop after departing the airport. Bilbao’s old town is about 10 to 15 minutes walking distance. And should you wish to make use of the metro, it is a mere 5 minutes’ walking distance from the hotel. Getting in and out of the city (we rented a car to visit other sites such as the Rioja wine region and the coastal areas) was easy. You can be on the highway within just a few minutes. While the hotel does not have parking facilities, there are garages nearby with daily costs as low as 15 Euros per day. There are plenty of locations for breakfast, lunch and dinners in the neighborhood. The woman at the reception desk was very helpful in providing suggestions for eating out. The rooms are compact but well designed and clean. There is a ceiling fan which we used during the warmer nights (28C). The windows can be opened which provided cool air at night. Our hotel room was located on the 4th floor, which was reached with the lift.

Good location. Very bad WiFi connection in our room. The water in the bathroom sink drains very slowly.
