Barceló Bilbao Nervión

Bilbao


Part of the nationwide chain, the rooms here, which are smart, comfortable and spacious, offer decent value for money, and there's bike (and car) hire available at the front desk. The location, on the riverfront and equidistant between the old town and the Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, is ideal.
