We spent one night at this hotel to visit Bilbao. If you get a good rate is good value for the money, as the hotel looks modern, rooms are comfortable and look like renovated not long time ago, good bathroom too and free wifi. There is a hotel garage if you come by car. The hotel is very central and... More

This is a nice hotel, downtown Bilbao. Affordable prices, friendly staff and free wifi (even if its not working that well in the room). Rooms are tiny, especially the bathroom, so if you are a big guy think twice.

I have visited Bilbao on several occasions, both for business and pleasure and I usually stay at this Hotel. The primary reason is its location which I appreciate very much, walking distance to all downtown attractions as well as 'pintxos' bars/restaurants located in the historic part of town. Depending on the room rate you manage to get, this place usually... More

Stayed there in October 2012, and enjoyed it. combination business and leisure. Pleasant walk to the Guggenheim, close to a main tourist information office. Excellent, maybe even outstanding buffet breakfast. Lox, bagels, eggs, sweets, toast, fruit, yogurt, cold cuts, cheeses, cereals, just super. Parking safe, expensive, but narrow, uphill exit. Room well furnished, comfortable. Staff very helpful and upbeat. Tolerated... More

"Efficient and charmless" check-in staff (see a previous recent review of this hotel) seem to be the norm in Spain. I'm not sure whether its because I speak mainly English, or that my Spanish is poor, or that I can't understand, let alone attempt to speak the Basque language, Euskara. I rarely found engaging front desk staff anywhere in Spain.... More

I was in Bilbao for 3 days on business (2 nights) and if I could give this place 2.5 stars I would. First let me start out by saying that this is NOT a 4 star property (by any standards US or European). Second, the main positive of this hotel is the location. The rooms would be the primary reason... More

I stayed in this hotel previously, and on that basis went back for a night last week. I was disappointed. Among other things, the breakfast was substandard. There is no reason for there to be virtually no bread available for breakfast at 8.0 -- particularly when there is an extra charge of 13 euro. The night before, around 10.45, it... More

Upon arrival at the Hotel Abando my friend and I were greeted (using the term "greeted" very loosely) by an efficient but charmless receptionist who gave us the bare minimum in terms of information or friendly service. The rooms are very nice though, making up for the dour receptionist and extremely expensive car park, another saving grace was the fantastic... More
