The hotel is within walking distance of most sites eg. between Caseo Viejo and the Guggenheim. We obtained a very good tarif for our stay there. Staff at reception were friendly and helpful, particularly with regard to giving our party advise on the best way to get to the airport on our departure. Overall a good base to discover Bilbao. More

Having stayed here on business in November 2011 I´d like to share my experiences. The breakfast was delicious,and there were lots of choices. The rooms, well smoking and non-smoking floors/rooms must have been mixed up. The walls between rooms were so thin you could hear your neighbour snore. Rooms in general a bit run-down. Location is excellent, by the river... More

The Barcelo Nervion is very well sited for the old town and also the Guggenheim. Had a lovely room overlooking river although it was noisy as there is busy road alongside. Service definitley not with a smile. When we checked in in the evening and asked if we could park the receptionist just said it was full and shrugged. No... More

A really nice hotel. For the price you pay I was very impressed. The hotel staff were very polite and so helpful. We were here for a wedding in Getzo which was a €20 or so cab ride away. The room we had, had been made into a triple and we still had a lot of room to move around.... More

Stayed here for a fortnight. It is a very good hotel with an exquisite location - just on the banks of river Nervion. The rooms are comfortable, services very good and food excellent. The only drawback is they do not have wi-fi in the rooms. More

The hotel looks very good both from the outside and the inside, the lobby is great! However the breakfast was not very good, and even though one side of the hotel must have a splendid view on the river, we were on the opposite side and the view was REALLY not to the standard of the hotel. More

- Great central location next to river, between Guggenheim and old town. Ideal for the sites of Bilbao. - Spotless bathroom - Decent sized room for a couple with large suitcases - Fridge available but no mini bar (fine by us) - Extremely large building made it feel a little impersonal More

We booked a junior suite in the hotel almost a month in advance and we liked it. The things that worked for us were: 1. The suite: for 97 euroes, it had two rooms, nice river view and very good amenities/decor. 2. The breakfast: It was one of the best we had in our europe trip. A number of options... More

Stayed for 2 nights at this modern hotel alonside the paseo. Easy to get into the old town and to the Guggenheim. Car parking invaluable underground, sign will display full but leave car and speak to reception, they will let you in! Breakfast vast and almost overwhelming but sorts you out for the rest of the day More
