This Axel is relatively new. The rooms are well designed, the shower is very stylish. Ivan and his staff do their best to give a good client experience. Ivan checked me in and was extremely charming. There was an issue with another guest and they put things right promptly. My only little criticism is that the spa is small and nice but none of its facilities were warm enough, the spa, jacuzzi and steam all needed to be a few degrees warmer. Also the Axel in San Sebastián provided bathrobes and slippers at no extra cost and they were in the room, in Bilbao there is a charge but as the changing facility in the spa is small it would be better to also provide the robes and slippers in the rooms. Otherwise the hotel is beautifully appointed and a great location for the Old Town and a fifteen/twenty minute walk to the Guggenheim.

We spent a week in the newly opened Axel Hotel in Bilbao. Our choice turned out to be perfect in every possible way. The staff in every area is outstanding, friendly, smiling, accommodating from the Reception to kitchen/bar staff, housekeeping. It is hard to name all but wanted to thank Luz for her big smile and attentiveness each morning during breakfast. She picked up on my husband’s birthday and the hotel arranged a birthday greeting and a gift that was left in our room. The breakfast is a treat. The room is spacious and well equipped. The bathroom with rain shower is a delight and separate WC is ideal. The king bed was very comfortable. The location is ideal, as located close to public transport, walkable to nearly everything, and on the river Nervion. Behind the hotel is Abando with the museums and across the bridge is Casco Viejo (old town). A wonderful location.

Propre et moderne mais sans chaleur

Nous avons séjourné dans cet hôtel récemment rénové, et si la propreté et la modernité des installations sont indéniables, nous n’avons malheureusement pas ressenti le confort et la chaleur attendus. Tout est impeccable, mais l’ambiance manque de caractère et d’âme. L’agencement des chambres n’est pas très pratique, ce qui peut nuire au confort du séjour. Le personnel est professionnel, mais un accueil plus chaleureux aurait rendu l’expérience plus agréable. Le petit déjeuner, quant à lui, manque de qualité. Il ne faut pas être difficile, notamment avec des croissants industriels mal cuits, ce qui est décevant pour un établissement de ce standing. Autre point négatif : le spa est censé être accessible uniquement sur réservation, mais en réalité, ce n’est pas respecté. Résultat, il peut être bondé et loin d’offrir le moment de détente attendu. En somme, un hôtel fonctionnel et bien tenu, idéal pour un court séjour ou un voyage d’affaires, mais qui manque de cette touche d’hospitalité et d’attention aux détails qui permettent de vraiment se sentir à l’aise.

Super expérience au plus près du centre de Bilbao

Séjour parfait commencé le lendemain de l'ouverture à l'hôtel Axel de Bilbao. Hôtel neuf, design et élégant chambre supérieure magnifique et confortable, personnel extrêmement accueillant et sympatique. Installations de musculation et spa top. Nous étions venus pour 2 nuits et avons prolongé l'expérience une troisième. L'emplacement est parfait pour se promener dans le casco viejo.A refaire avec plaisir
