Overall Review

The Grand hotel Bilbao offers excellent value for money. This hotel is located close enough to Bilbao to enjoy it by walk (you would be ready to walk 15 minutes to get to the old district. Walking to the Guggenheim implies twice as much walking). 

The hotel is modern, clean, tidy, and with a relaxing style. Our favorite thing about this hotel is the size of the rooms, the light at the breakfast room (perfect for an energetic start for the day), and its convenience for travelers arriving by car. 

This hotel is amongst the best options for families in Bilbao. 

The Gran Hotel Bilbao is nor for you if you enjoy boutique or small hotels and in case a very central location is a must for you. if you do not need any of the above and enjoy good value for money, then the Gran Bilbao hotel can be a perfect fit for you. We have selected four similar options for you so you can also compare and decide.
