Top Northern Spain Hotel Reviews

Barceló Bilbao Nervión

8/10 Good

"4 night stay in October - the wife and I. Really nice hotel - perfect for exploring Bilbao. Location 10/10 as by the footbridge over the Nervion and by the Guggenheim, new town, Bilboats and funicular. We were on the top floor - no views except suites - room 719 was quiet, clean albeit we had the worlds squeakiest bathroom door and were fodder for a ravenous mosquito but soon sorted. Staff, breakfast, reception and bar area 10/10. Tip - pay for breakfast it is tip top! Thanks"

Axel Hotel San Sebastián - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel, new and clean with a great and very helpful staff. Very walkable but a bit out of the way for the beaches. Very close to the rail station. Food choices are close by but they get better as you walk into town a bit. Nice hot tub in the lower level, steam and sauna are there as well. The pool is small but adequate and nicely situated on the roof of the hotel."

The free laundry allowed us to catch up on our washing on a 6 week tour of France & Spain. Some reviews seem to focus on the 30 minute walk to the old town. We took the 10 minute bus ride from behind the hotel for 1.9 euro everyday. Just tap on with your credit card. Breakfast looked good but we never tried. Gym was well fitted out and rooms quiet."
