Holiday Inn Bilbao airport

Stayed before our flight out. It’s in a suburban area right near the Bilbao airport. Shuttle was very convenient, breakfast was free and offered plentiful variety. Staff was very friendly. Maybe a $35 euro cab ride into the city if that is in your plans. Would stay again.

I was really disappointed because I thought this would be more of an American style hotel. What is more American than Holiday Inn? Also I thought the hotel was pretty new but the first room they assigned us had the AC control pulled out of the wall. The second room had problems with the shower and also mold in the shower. The food options in the restaurant are also very limited. There seems so be just one other restaurant nearby and they told me to look on Google maps to find it. Really? What happened to providing menus for places that will deliver food or are nearby? You know...that stack of menus you usually see in American hotels? With that said, the staff was nice and the hotel shuttle was great so it served our purpose well. Just know there is not anything to do around the hotel. You would have to take a cab or transit to see anything in Bilbao from this hotel.

Holiday Inn is a functional hotel that you stay at if you want to get to the airport early. The staff were polite and attentive. The rooms were nice and and clean, had been freshly painted so there was a smell. The beds are comfortable. The restaurant downstairs offered food but wouldn’t recommend it. Great for a stop over.

We had an early flight Sunday morning, which is why we booked this hotel so close to airport. Noise from other inconsiderate guests, including a huge group of children shouting aa they came up and down in the lift on 3 occasions, and a group of young men sitting in the corridor, talking loudly just outside our room at midnight, made it inpossible to sleep. The staff really need to monitor this..we had to ask the other guests to be quiet. I am sure we are not the only people trying to get some sleep before early flights. We would not recommend this hotel unless management get this behaviour under control. Staff showed little or no concern
