2-Sterne-Hotels in Bilbao

Stay: 2 nights in February 2026 Review: 1. Very cold room and bathroom. The room and especially the bathroom were extremely cold. When the air conditioner is turned on for heating, it blows directly onto the heads of people sleeping in the bed, making it uncomfortable and difficult to breathe. 2. Very noisy. The room faces a busy street. People were talking and making noise outside throughout the night. The sound insulation is very poor. 3. Extremely small room. The room is clearly designed for one person (this is even indicated on the hotel’s floor plan), but we were accommodated there as two guests. There is almost no space to place luggage or personal belongings. The bathroom also has no shelves at all. 4. Uncomfortable toilet placement. The toilet is positioned in such a way that it can only be used diagonally, which I consider completely unacceptable. 5. Missing desk shown in photos. The room photos showed a writing desk, but it was not actually present. We had to spend time requesting and arranging for a desk to be brought to the room, as it was necessary for work. 6. Parking information is misleading. The hotel description states that parking is available, but in reality it is about a 15-minute walk away. This is very inconvenient when traveling with luggage. We only discovered this upon arrival. This information was not communicated in advance. There is also nowhere near the hotel to stop even for 5 minutes to unload luggage. Additionally, there is no reception desk at the hotel, so it is difficult to quickly ask for assistance.

I have a great stay! The location is fantastic — just a few steps from the Guggenheim Museum, which made exploring the city super convenient. The room was very cozy, clean, and comfortable — exactly what we were hoping for. However, there's one detail that could be clearer: the hotel advertises ”private parking,” but in reality, it's a public city parking lot located about 450 meters away. It costs €20 per day, and there is no parking directly at the hotel. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely something to know in advance.

It was a pretty satisfying stay. Internet is very good and the bed/chair are comfortable. Check in was easily arranged too and there was no issues. Minor negative is that the room is too dark and there is no fridge. - However I guess that is expected with the price. Most annoyingly this is the first ever hotel I have been where they restrict the internet! Even worse they have the cheek to block certain VPN protocols. Pathetic, too need to use a VPN to fully use the internet! Nanny hotel!

Instalaciones en muy buen estado cama cómoda, limpieza muy bien, relación precio calidad excelente y ubicación muy céntrico, de hecho volvería a repetir

Liebe meinen Aufenthalt im Hotel Arriaga! Die Lage ist absolut perfekt – im Herzen aller Dinge und super einfach zu gehen überall. Das Zimmer war sauber, modern und das Bett war super komfortable. Das Personal war wirklich wunderschön und gab uns einige tolle Tipps für die lokale Pintxo Bars. Die Vibe ist entspannt und unvorstellbar, was wir geschätzt haben. Kleine Bemerkung für leichte Schlafer: bitte um ein Zimmer weg von der Straße, da es etwas lebendig in der Nacht (aber das ist Teil des Charme von in einer tollen Lage!) erhalten kann. Wifi war auch ein bisschen spitzig. Insgesamt, fantastische Wert für Geld. Wäre sicherlich noch einmal hier für einen versehentlichen Stadturlaub! Perfekt für: Reisende, die einen zentralen Platz ohne den Fancy-Preis-Tag wollen.

I stayed one night in a shared mixed dorm. The room and bathroom were clean, and the bed was comfortable. Staff were friendly and spoke English, which made check-in easy. Breakfast was basic but free, with bread, coffee, and juice. The hostel is not in the city center, but there is a bus stop right outside that takes you to the center in about 15 minutes. There is also a kitchen if you want to cook your own food, and lockers for your things. Good choice if you want something affordable and quiet.

Stayed just for one night. I arrived very late, like 1 AM. They let me stay in the lobby even though it was closed because I needed to use my laptop. Very clean. The only thing is that they don't make you the bed. So, in my case I went to sleep like 2:30 AM and had to improvise something to avoid bothering the others in the room.

The room was basic but clean and was situated on the outskirts of Bilbao. The sound insulation was terrible and other guests could be heard clearly though the walls. I also found the room very cold and there was no aircon or heating system to help guests stay warm. Reception isn’t 24/7 so no one to ask questions of. I thought the place was massively over priced as it is rather like a youth hostel as there isn’t a joining bathroom facility.

I was affraid about this hotel, because majority of people who stayed here leave nagative respond. As for bed bug, I couldn't see it for couple of day. Receptionist are quite low key, and Hotel locates at slum area, also bit far away from the central. Overall, hotel is still decent choice as long as you're in the moment to cut your expenditure off.
