“Catalonia Gran Via Bilbao impresses with its modern design, rooftop pool, and proximity to the Guggenheim, though the Old Town requires a 25-minute walk. The staff is notably personable, and while rooms are well-presented, costs can be high, especially for triple occupancy; still, I find it a decent base for exploring Bilbao. It is a solid, if somewhat pricey, choice for a Bilbao visit.”

The hotel provided secure underground parking. It also has a gym. I received an upgrade upon arrival to a room with a balcony. This room included two glasses of Cava.
The spa requires an extra charge. It costs €15 for 50 minutes. The indoor pool is actually just a jacuzzi. You cannot swim in it.

I appreciate the great location. The tapas bars were a short walk away, a big plus. I also found secure underground parking very helpful for my motorcycle, i felt safe. the garden with a bar was an added bonus.
the spa required an extra charge that i feel was not worth it. the indoor pool is really only a jacuzzi, it does not allow for actual swimming.

Acceptable Stay in a Central Location

I appreciated the hotel's central location. It made accessing key attractions simple. The airport bus stop was also conveniently close, just a short walk away. I found the breakfast to be good, with a tasty selection of foods (especially the fresh pastries).
The spa access required an extra charge. It cost €15 for 50 minutes. The indoor pool seemed more like a jacuzzi. Swimming wasn't really possible. I also found no complimentary water in the room.

the staff was very attentive and gave excellent recommendations for my visit to the city. the hotel smelled delicious.. a really nice touch! the bathroom was spacious and all special needs were met. i found the check-in process was quick and very efficient.
The television was not ideal. You had to enter an app and scan a qr code. today, most people use platforms like netflix or prime video, not traditional tv channels.
