We feel like we are staying in a gracious old home. The reception area is filled with lounges and potted plants and momma is a lovely old lady and her daughter is very helpful.

I really liked this hotel. it wasn't too expensive - I turned up on the doorstep quite late in the evening and got a decent double room with a balcony. It is in a great location - opposite the tram stop. When you arrive at the bus station in Bilbao it can be a bit daunting - because it is... More

This is a simple one star hotel but it has all that is necessary. It doesn't do breakfast but that can be eaten very cheaply next door. The hotel is on the edge of the old town and not far from the railway station. There is a computer for guest use

First of all i will explain we had booked 7 nights at the Best Western Hotel Conde Duque, but upon arrival the hotel was in the middle of being decorated which they failed to mention!! They showed us to our room which was horrible and had a window that looked into the middle of building and it a disgusting site.... More

My daughter Tapas and I spent just a day in Bilbao last week and Arriaga turned out to be the best hotel we encountered in our month-long tour of Europe. A long and tiring journey from Paris had brought us to the doorsteps of Arriaga and we were instantly made to feel at home by the young bespectacled receptionist who... More
