Staff were exceptional, very friendly, very helpful. Tatiana at reception did her best to get us into our room early, although check in wasn't until 2pm we were in at 11 am. Very much appreciated. Bar man (sorry I forgot the name) was so helpful and friendly too. Really appreciated their help.

The staff/owner were extremely nice. The facilities are clean and quiet. The hotel is located in a small island, so our room had a very calming view to the river. It’s just a 15m walk away from the city center, but there is also a bus.

Loved the hotel and the remarkable reno job. Great location on the edge of old town and right on the river walk.
Check in went well despite some disagreement among staff about the ability to park short term in the pedestrian area. It is a little tricky finding the 'opening' to the street. Parking lot is indeed in sight of the hotel but not what you imagine by that statement.

A very interesting old town. Camino de Santiago markers can be spotted on some paving slabs between churches. River trip is worth while and the architecture of the Guggenheim is stunning. The park near the Fine Arts Museum is very relaxing.
Try Pintxos for lunch and try the salted cod if you dare!

Bilbao is a small city so 3/4 days is plenty to see all the main attractions. There is a great range of restaurants to choose from, many do not serve food until after 7.30pm and many close during the afternoon. The Guggenheim and Fine Art Gallery are worth a visit, also take the Funacular to get a great view of the city, this is just beside the Old Town. We took a trip by metro out to Getxo for a day by the sea and this was well worth the trip.

I liked everything.
I liked everything. The transport system was excellent, metro, busses and trams. The people were friendly and Bilbao is a laid back city, no one in a rush. The bars/cafes, restaurants, etc were great and very reasonably priced. There is plenty to see and do, Guggenheim museum and San Malmes stadium tour were two of the highlights. The parks are fab to just sit and relax and the coast is just a 20 minute metro ride. The funicular ride is worth it and the view of the city from the top is fantastic. The old town is a maze of narrow streets with shops, bars/cafes and restaurants. Again a short ride away on the metro. The Baskian restaurant/brewery in the main shopping centre serves authentic Basque food and is very reasonable. The Wicklow bar in the centre of the city is the place to go for a great draught pint of Guinness in a proper glass, small, but always popular and a friendly welcome by the owner, Mick. The only down side that I found was that there are not many public toilets, but you can always dip into a bar/café and maybe another tipple and some tapas! I will definately return.

Excellent place for a long weekend visit.
Excellent place for a long weekend visit. The city has been given a good upgrade on public areas and there are very nice walks and spaces to chill along the Nervion river, the old part of the town or the new city.
Good transport system and good connection to the airport and train station.
Great place for pintxos and chiquiteo (tapas and bar hoping) as well as modern art (guggenheim museum really stands out), or just simply chill in a nice urban setting. Plenty of shopping spots too.

The Guggenheim of course, but the city is elegant, bright and bustling. The bridges alone are worth going there for. We ate at small cafes and pincho bars of which there are countless numbers. There is an underground metro and tram routes, but we walked. There is a pleasant walk along the river.

Bilbao is a beautiful city set on the river , lots to see and do when there and you definately need 3 days to cover it all , we went out to the bay of biscay on one of the days and it was worth it ,we travelled on the orange line to Niguri got off there walked the coast line and got back on metro at Areeta back to abando where out hotel is. My main tip is try to get a main meal in the middle of the day as we found it hard to eat at night apart from Tapas bars which really didnt suit a gluten intolerant person in the party .
The place is ok, is in a nice area in Bilbao, like 20 minutos walking to the old town and as well 25 minutes walking to reach Guggenheim, it has some nice bars and restaurants around if you want to have your breakfast there, If you come with a car you have a parking in the hotel and as well a free parking streets 15 min walking distance, we park there and as Bilbao is a safe city we brought our car there for 3 nights, 0 problems.
The rooms are ok, confortable mattress same for the pillow.
We were there for one day, it was great for the purpose, just a quick trip day + remote work.
I wanted to make this review specially for the unforgettable staff. The people who assist us were always 5 stars - with the garage car parking situation, with last minute help with specific concerns, suggestions ands tips for Bilbao, and even a late tea (which I was feeling super sick and there was nothing open). I have to say: TOP location and TOP staff, the hotel itself is ok.
It was only 2 minutes walk from the metro station, and in the middle of the lively neighbourhood of Old Town of Bilbao. Very convenient for our brief city holiday. The room was very clean and comfortable, and we slept very well as the window blocked the street noise & the curtain blocked the morning light. Staffs were very organised and helpful - they contacted me through WhatsApp, helped me locating where the hotel was. Very happy experience overall!
The hotel is part of a chain, and the front desk staff was efficient and spoke our language (English). The hotel is about a fifteen minute walk from the Guggenheim, which is the main reason to visit Bilbao. The hotel features a full breakfast (not included in the basic price) for those who wish it, and a good restaurant and bar. The rooms were clean and fairly large.
I liked everything about this Hotel. We travelled on the ferry from Ireland - very direct route from the port to hotel with convenient underground parking. 10 mins walk to Old Town. Staff very helpful and friendly. It's the place to be for comfort and experiencing Bilbao. I was in Bilbao twice before and wasn't as impressed by a long shot before.
Reception was extremely kind, the room was lovely and modern, location was perfect to walk to old town as well as to the Guggenheim and Fine Arts museum, surrounded by shops and restaurants, and the breakfast at the hotel was the best I’ve had yet in a hotel in Northern Spain. My stay was absolutely perfect, and I would definitely stay here again!
I liked the fact that this hotel was super clean. The rooms are simple but very well equipped, the size is good as well. It is very close to the Guggenheim and about 5 minutes from Gran Via de Bilbao. The historic part is about 15-20 minutes walking. It is really convenient for the airport since it's only a 20 minute bus ride away.
Very spacious air conditioned rooms, very contemporary but yet functional design.
Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. private parking facility about 200 m from hotel.
Great location on the river and close to the centre of the old town. Perfect location to discover Bilbao
This hotel is in a great location for exploring the old town in Bilbao and all of the major tourist attractions including the Guggenheim. We have stayed there before and we're very happy to return. It's a good value tourist hotel with nice breakfast and very friendly staff.
We had a large room on the eighth floor with a large balcony and great views of Bilbao. The room had everything one needed and the hotel was very well placed for walking to the old town and cathedral, to the indoor market, to walks along the river to the Guggenheim museum.
If you are coming to Bilbao to see the Guggenheim, the Gran Hotel Domine is the place to stay. a little pricey but worth it for the experience. The room was large and comfortable and the view of the museum spectacular. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Great location. A nice 15-minute (leisurely) stroll along the river to Old Town. Very close to the Guggenheim. A very nice room, with good facilities, and quiet. Didn't eat in the hotel but would definitely stay here if we were to visit Bilbao again..
The front desk was very nice, cordial and helpful to English speaking guests, even at an unreasonable check in time. I will be staying here and recommending this hotel to others who visit Bilbao, an affordable hotel right at the front.
Arrived in early evening in Bilbao by ferry and stayed overnight in the hotel. The location was ideal , almost on the river and a short walk from the old town. The hotel it’s self was immaculate and the staff helpful.
This was perfect hotel for 1 night stay pre ferry trip home to uk
Good location as on edge of town. We walked in in about 15 mins downhill and taxi back after lovely meal in Bilbao old town. Would def stay here again
Beautiful rooms, great value, one unique thing was the sparkling water dispenser on every floor. Fabulous idea! Excellent breakfast, the best we encounter in all of Spain.
