Top Abando Hotel Reviews

Eurostars Indautxu

8/10 Good

"We parked both nights, but as with most hotels in these cities, it’s tight parking. Staff were friendly enough. Room was clean and had what we needed. Gym is average. We never ate in the hotel."

Batimont Suites & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place to stay right in the centre of Bilbao The car parking was great - it’s a tight car park for bigger cars but right underneath the apartments. The hotels.com listing says that they don’t provide cribs but when you fill in the check in questionnaire you can request one for free and it was set up in our room ready. Completely clean and great facilities, small kitchenette was well stocked. Room and bathroom were both a great size. Would definitely stay here again in the future!"
