Mercure Bilbao Jardines De Albia

beds were uncomfortable but otherwise the room was alright. not sure why this hotel is rated 4 star. we had a terrible time trying to get out of town because of road construction.

Highly recommended for a stay in Bilbao! Perfec for checking out all the major sites in Bilbao.

Good pick. Bilbao is a rather comfortable, compact city and from this location you could walk to all points of interest within 15 minutes (old city, Guggenheim, Belles Artes, Shopping, Drinking and dining). In Spain you normally only sleep in the hotel. Everything else is catered for by a dense network of bars etc. (breakfast, dining). Hotel could be reached from the airport using the airport bus (20 mins) and a short walk (10 mins). Just the place to choose for a short stay.

Just three very short blocks from the train station, it was the perfect, yet quiet, location. An enjoyable walk to the museums, around town, to the Casco Viejo. I had no need to use Bilbao's efficient metro system. The only negative thing was that the breakfast cost 14 Euros, so I went out for breakfast. (I can't imagine what they served that would cost 14 Euros! But then again, I usually stay in hotels with free breakfasts.)

visited friends. not really, nothing missing previous stay the hotel was better taken care of. showed lack of maintenance. Rugs old and dirty the rest was ok.

Service was outstanding. Room was clean. Location perfect and right in the heart of everything great about Bilbao. Our room was on the backside and very noisy at night.

We were very pleased. They allowed us to check-in to our room early. The staff was terrific, friendly, helpful, good recommendations for dining, etc. The location for the major sights of Bilbao is wonderful, a 10-15 minute walk to everything. There is parking underneath the hotel, if you arrange for it; although it's complicated to get to.
