Top Abando Hotel Reviews

The Artist Grand Hotel of Art

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great, Rooms were great, bar was really nice, although spirits were very expensive, only disappointment is the roof top pool was much smaller than we expected."

Hotel Sercotel Coliseo

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is conveniently located at walking distance from old town (around 10 minutes). Parking is a block away and they also have parking at basement though is more expensive to park in the hotel. They have a restaurant but options for lunch or dinner are very limited and they have only 1 staff serving. Breakfast is better with many options. We ate something the night we arrived and also had breakfast the following day. We traveled with kids and they are in that age they are picky eaters so we ended up having breakfast outside the hotel the 2nd day. It was cheaper to eat breakfast outside. Rooms are spacious, clean, and some have small stairs inside. The reception is in the 2nd level which was weird but ok. Ground level has a bike rental parked inside, a lobby and elevators. We enjoyed our stay and liked the hotel."

Hotel Melia Bilbao

8/10 Good

"We have upgraded to the Level each time we have stayed at the Melia. While the facility was very nice the amenities were lacking. Very little food options other than salty snacks. All of the other Melia’s Level have offered much more from a food perspective. While the room upgrade was very nice the overall experience was lacking due to the Level amenities."

ibis Bilbao Centro

8/10 Good

"We stayed for one night, coming off a late afternoon flight. It was a a great chain hotel - good value for the price point but quite generic (which is reasonable given the brand and the price). There are some lovely places to eat and it's was interesting to walk around in the newer part of Bilbao but is a bit of a walk to get to the older areas where one would probably wish to spend a bit more time. The staff were friendly and helpful."
