Incredible location. 5 minute walk to metro, 5 minutes to Guggenheim. With the location I was able to travel to Guernica, the coast and all over town through metro and trains. The entrance from the street requires a code to unlock a gate - it is always closed at night but I found sometimes during the day it was closed.

Our concierge when we arrived was a great help in pointing out places to visit in the city. His recommendations became our itinerary for the visit!! He was very knowledgeable about the several buildings by world famous architects that have been built in Bilbao. The Guggenheim is just but one of many! One of the more interesting was the adaptive reuse of the Alhondiga by Phillipe Stark, but you have Calatrava, Ando, Moneo, Silva, so many more! Thank you so much to our first concierge at Bilbao City Rooms!

This hotel is right on the Main river and right next to a lock where ships navigate past a dam. You can watch big tankers and small boats raise and lower as they pass by. There is a walkway across the dam and you can visit a village on the opposite bank. Ice cream shop over there, but we didn't have time for that. Also the hotel fronts onto a riverside bike path and you see cyclists passing by. Check with the hotel - it looks like you might be able to get a bike. Also, the brew pub is great and has really nice food. It's about 30 Euros and 15 minutes from the airport, and worth it for the peace and quiet. We stayed one night each way on our trip, and loved it!

Very nice for a one-night stay to be close to the Guggenheim. Friendly and helpful staff. The only minus - in summer - is that there is no A/C. We were there in late June and it was OK, but I would want to be there in midsummer!

Mostly good, except that the shower was too small and that we had to keep the entry key card in the door slot in order to keep the light on.

Great location
This was a great location for assess to the central train station, the bus stop to the airport, the big museums and local shops. The room was big and comfortable. The fridge and kettle a happy bonus. Reception staff were friendly and helpful.

Might want to skip this one
The saving graces for BC Rooms are the location (only 5 mins walk from the Guggenheim museum) and somewhat friendly staff. But this is when it stops. We had a very damp smelling room. After notifying staff we got new sheets (as the smell emitted from the beds) and an air-freshener!!! Which helped for about a day but the smells came back. All hotels were booked during our stay, so we had no other option but stay. As mentioned by other reviewers the 'hotel' must have been a former hostel with all its downsides still present - the walls and doors are thin, you hear the neighbours, equipment is the bare minimum, very small rooms, no aircon just a very loosely rotating fan. Conclusion: this might be an option for an emergency stay for a night, but I'd be looking for another place to stay in Bilbao.

The rooms are very small, barely enough room to put your suitcases on the floor. The bathroom is literally 2 feet from the bed, too close for comfort. The walls are very thin, we could hear everything in the halls. Found that the bathroom cups they provided were not clean, could see that the cup was used and just wrapped again in plastic to look clean. Our bathroom had a sewer smell which we reported but nothing was done about it. On the plus side, it is in a good location to walk to the Guggenheim and old town. Bus stop from the airport is 2 blocks away too. They have reception staffed 24 hours.
