Barceló Bilbao Nervión

Barceló Bilbao Nervión

10/10 Excellent
"This place was wonderful. Breakfast was a great selection. Rooms were clean. If you have a car, good luck parking it at the hotel. 250 rooms and 50 parking stalls had to park down the street. However get your ticket validated & you get a 10% discount"

Hotel Sercotel Coliseo

Hotel Sercotel Coliseo

8/10 Good
"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."
