Axel Hotel Bilbao – Adults Only
This was my first time staying at an Axel Hotel and I loved everything about it. I felt so welcomed by everyone. The room was comfortable for sleep and remote work and the location was just right. I would highly recommend staying here!

NYX Hotel Bilbao by Leonardo Hotels
Liked the hotel. Staff were fantastic. Bit disappointed that the rooftop bar wasn’t open (only opens in the late spring through summer) and important to be aware that the hotel, whilst on the edge of the old town, can get some quite noisy people wandering by at all hours of the night

Latroupe La Granja
Did not know this is a hostel, which I usually avoid. However, for 2 days, it was adequate. Central location was key. Very walkable.
