voco Bilbao - City by IHG

High quality hotel

The location is dodgy and quite away from the main arra old town

Very clean and modern hotel, large room and very quiet. Comfortable beds and good shower. Very friendly staff and the room was good value for money (we were there during the eclipse so probably paid a premium) We parked at the Bullring which was very close by and paid €15 a night roughly. Hotel was a 15 min walk to the old town and 25 min walk to the Guggenheim. Close by to a station too

A little further out than we had liked but for the price it was perfect.

Breakfast was a bit mixed the self service cooked breakfast was poor but that didn't bother us too much otherwise the breakfast was good. Overall the hotel was very good value.

Location close by was pretty shabby but improved pretty quickly.

The room was super clean and the shower water pressure was very comfortable.

The location of the hotel isn’t the most central and safe if you’re a solo female traveler. The rooms were very noisy in that you can hear and feel other rooms shutting doors. The room I stayed in was quite small, probably just enough room to move around for one person. I was quite sick the second day I was there yet the cleaning staff insisted on coming in to take a painting and reception called me to ask for the same without really telling me a reason (seems like he couldn’t explain in English). While they didn’t come in at the end, this interruption was a bit offputting especially without an apology or explanation after.
