Stayed for a long weekend at the end of July. Was in a single room but this was still plenty spacious enough. The room was also spotlessly clean. This hotel is in a great location - right on the edge of the old town, round the corner from the Plaza Nueva, by the river, and just across the road from... more

Just returned from Bilbao, had blindly booked a room at this hotel based upon reviews here. Everyone is correct.... great hotel, terrific location, very clean, nice staff (though somewhat limited in English but very pleasant)and well kept. I had a room on the first floor which some may not like, but I enjoyed sitting at the open window watching the... more

Booked online with no prior knowledge of this hotel. It exceeded our expectations. Ideally placed for tapas bars in Plaza Nueva. Tram almost at door and Metro very close too. We even took in an evening performance at the Palacio de Congresos y de la Musica - a good distance away - with consumate ease using the tram there and... more

My adult daughter and I stayed at the Tryp Arenal in a twin room for one night in late May 2009. Location -- on the edge of the old section of town, close to the river and one of the main bridges. Not far from a metro station. Bilbao was a really neat town, and don't miss the Guggenheim --... more

Tryp Arenal is a great hotel at a very good price, rooms were spotless and very comfortable, breakfast was good and the service was excellent, would definatly stay again. more

My recent trip to Sevilla reminded me of my previous trip to Spain last year and the hotel, for which I failed to write a review. I liked the hotel quite a lot, and therefore have decided to comment with delay. I chose the hotel because of the location and the tripadvisor's reviews. In fact, the location is great in... more

My husband & I spent 2 nights here in November 2008. We paid about $100/night through an online travel agency. We were extremely pleased with our stay. The location couldn't be better, right on the edge of Bilbao's old town. We could easily go out in the evening and wander the neighborhood, sampling pixtos. We walked to the Guggenheim (about... more

Just spent 3 nights at the Tryp Arenal. Great location right on the edge of the old part of Bilbao called Casco Viejo....could not have been better placed. Spotlessly clean and well appointed double aspect room. Excellent breakfasts, rather good bar/cafeteria and very good restaurant. Staff were great and very helpful. Casco Viejo is a must...narrow streets, bags of character...mainly... more

Turned up on speck but unfortunately never got past reception so can`t comment on the quality of the hotel. The receptionist however needs to be re-trained on how to treat customers. We arrived around 4.00 pm looking for a double room for a few days. Upon entering the reception area a guy, presumably a guest, was walking down the stairs... more
