Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Bilbao Plaza is frequently praised for its convenient location near the river, placing guests within comfortable walking distance of main tourist attractions. Many guests appreciate the clean and spacious rooms, though some have noted the absence of a refrigerator or kettle. The hotel's proximity to the old town, bridge and the commercial street is a definite plus, as is the availability of parking, a particularly important feature for those arriving by car.

I found the location super convenient. It was close to the bridge for river crossings! Casco Viejo was a short walk away. it was near the Guggenheim. Shopping and eating were steps away. I also really liked that I could park right below the hotel.

The room felt small. I think the bathroom especially could use more space to prevent slips!

My room had a river view which was awesome! The room itself was quite spacious and clean. I really liked this. The beds were comfortable, and the room faced the back of the building so it was quiet.
