Title: Perfect location, outstanding service, Thais made the difference
Travelled on 04/2026
Sercotel Arenal Bilbao is the kind of hotel that gets everything right. Located at the entrance of the Casco Viejo, facing Arenal Park and the San Nicolás Church, the location alone is worth five stars. The Guggenheim is a short walk away, Mercado de la Ribera is five minutes on foot, and the entire old town is literally at your doorstep.
The room was beautiful and the views were spectacular, waking up to that settin...

Breakfast is for extra fee but we preferred to eat ou...

Also we were in different floors - i do not understand that a booking made for 2 rooms cannot have them at least on the same floor, there cannot be only 1 of each room on each floor???
that aside the "basic" room the male on reception kept repeating ...

Highly recommended hotel for reasonable price
Travelled on 09/2025
This hotel is in an excellent location - in the old town, right by the river and bridge to the new part of town, a minute's walk away from Plaza Nueva and pintxos places. Across the street from a park area. The guestroom was clean and comfy. White walls (no artwork), high ceilings which made it seem more spacious, nice wood furnishings with wood inlay (desk, end tables, entry table). My room had a door to the outsi...
