After a bit stranded in a cold shower with hailstorm, we finally reached the Iturrienea Ostatua where we received a warm welcome by Igone, its manageress. Our room #6 was cosy, clean and equipped with a room heater. Igone was always so helpful in offering travel tips and in answering our questions that we were able to have wonderful experience... More

If you're looking for a higher end experience stay in the Silken Gran Hotel Domine Bilbao with a beautiful view of the Guggenheim - but, if you're looking to stay closer to the Old Quarter, this is a great little spot. We were debating between staying here or the Gran Hotel and chose this one just because of its easy... More

Tough review this, but I will try to be objective. From the moment we walked through the door (and were shocked at the clutter and mess) we were made to feel like we were in someone's home, and not a 'hostal' (budget guesthouse in Spain). Her dog was allowed to roam freely in the breakfast/reception area (including on the sofa),... More

Central location for spending time in the old town. The Gug. is an easy stroll along the river. This is not a place to stay if you are OCD, it is full of quirky art and other stuff collected over years by the owner...wonderful. The rooms are cosy and equally unique. Breakfast was ample, surrounded by lots to look at... More

The Hotel Iturrienea Ostatua is a small, very welcoming hotel. Beware, it is easy to miss, look for #14 next to the door. It is located on a pedestrian street, your taxi can get you within a block. The lobby has some antiques, then you climb a spiral staircase to the hotel entrance. The common areas are decorated with local... More

Good location just a block away from the tram. Bars and restaurants all around. Kind of a funky place that we only stayed for a night. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was nothing special but it was sufficient for a night.

i stayed with my fiancee for 4 nights in this pension/b & b I would have given it three stars only but the location is ideal! Firstly,I had asked in advance for a room facing the street and a special room,I had said in my email to the b & b,i would pay extra for a lovely room,They said this... More

We had a 1 night B&B stopover after a 3 week trip around the Languedoc and the Basque region, before we got the ferry back to UK from Bilbao. The location of the hotel is excellent..right in the centre of the old town of Bilbao, which was most interesting and deserving of a longer stay. The owner was on duty... More

I arrived at 7 pm with a tooth about to fall out. The manageress, who speaks fluent French and English, instantly telephoned her own dentist and arranged for me to see him first thing the next morning. And very competent he turned out to be, removing the troublesome tooth in seconds and not charging me a penny. I was not... More
