Hotel Abando

The location is excellent, check out time is very generous.

Perfectly situated in the center of Bilbao, a VERY short walk from shopping, restaurants, the river and the old city. Very clean hotel with helpful staff, beautiful lobby, a bar with a comfortable area to sit, relax, watch a football ⚽️ match. Michelin restaurant adjacent to the hotel. Our room was large, clean, with a very comfortable bed, ample sized toilet with a warm, comfortable shower. Where this place REALLY pleased us is we arrived at 9 am ... very tired and in need of organizing our luggage ... fully expecting to leave our belongings in the luggage room until our room was ready in the afternoon. AMAZINGLY, she found an available room for us which was a VERY pleasant surprise and MOST appreciated. We were able to rest, clean up and organize our clothes and toiletries.

Room was a decent size, cleaned daily and plenty of complementary toiletries. Location was close to the River and a 10/15 minute walk to the heart of the old town (7 calles) and the same to the guggenheim. Breakfast was also good, lots of fresh fruit constantly replenished, too. You can also request a freshly made omelette or scrambled eggs but we didn't see the little signs explaining that until near the end of our stay unfortunately.

+great breakfast (spanish omelete, churros with chocolate, fresh bakery, fruits) +center located +good room layout +coffee and tea machine available + fast access to airport by car (only 13minutes) + nearby restaurants for dinner

The room with 2 singles was spacious very clean and light. Both rooms were very clean. Kettle in room was appreciated. Staff at reception were helpful. Didn't have breakfast due to our timings. Good map provided when checked in.
