Barceló Bilbao Nervión

Barceló Bilbao Nervión

8/10 Good
"Good location, within walking distance to Guggenheim museum, and funicular train, clean room, but view is less than desirable, decent breakfast, spacious bathroom but lacking hooks and shelves for towels and toiletries. Hotel car park was full, so had to use public car park which was 8 minutes walk away but at a cheaper rate if parking ticket is stamped by hotel."

"The room we got was not the one we reserved and paid for. I’m not sure if the room was at the same value as the one we received. It was slightly larger, but their excuse for moving us was lame. They stated the room we reserved was not available until a day later. I chose to not disrupt our plans and stick with what we received. Other than that it was a pleasant stay, but not sure I would ever stay there again because of that issue."
