Occidental Bilbao

The location was a short walk to the old town and was also close to the metro. As an extended family of 5 (including a 2 year-old) we stayed in two spacious interconnecting rooms. The restaurant was a perfect match to our needs. It seemed to be always open, had a great menu (with vegetarian options) and the servers were very kind and child-friendly. Breakfast was excellent. The onsite parking was very easy to access and use.

Great location, close to the Old Town but you should keep in mind that you'll need to go up the slopes returning to the hotel from the city center. Anyway, Bilbao subway will help you out and Santutxu station is 5-6 mins. away from Occidental Bilbao. Although the hotel is at pretty busy transport artery the district is great with an old church and a pedestrian alley and park right next to it. Friendly staff, clean interior and comfortable lobby that appeals you to have a coffee with croissant in the morning!

location near metro was excellent. quite and relaxing hotel, fabulous staff and breakfast was lovely. the whole hotel is a pleasure to stay in.

Nice hotel reception . Nice bar area and bar staff . Pool area nice although small .

Room would be a perfect size for 2 people but we had an extra bed so was a little squishy. Bed was comfy, facilities were excellent and location is very good. Fabulous value for money. The breakfast is phenomenal for its price! If you are staying, book the breakfast. Staff lovely and friendly. They love to have conversations with the tourists. Now that I know the below in the section "what didn't you like". I would know what to expect the next time I would visit and therefore would be happy to return.
