Wonderful hotel

Fantastic hotel! The room was beautiful and clean, the staff were helpful and friendly. Great proximity to the old town, the market, restaurants, and public transportation. Roof top pool and bar was excellent - would definitely recommend!

The building enjoys an excellent location, "on the river". It is clearly new. Maybe a bar would make it even more pleasant and a larger gym

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I felt quite welcome by Sandra at check in and very safe during my stay. Breakfast buffet and coffee service was very good. Walkable to all of the sites but the tram from Ribera Market was a good alternative to the Guggenheim in the rain. The room with a view of the Nervion River was worth the rate. I will look for other Axel Hotels in cities I visit in the future. Highly recommended!
View of river from room on 4th floor.
Same view at night. Peaceful!

Verified traveller

Disliked: Room comfort

New and clean but would not stay again

Room was new and clean However the room design is a bit odd. Bathroom has no door (a curtain), shower has a see through glass (no privacy), and shower area shape makes it too large, wasting space and making the rest of the room too small. Bed was quite uncomfortable - even if new - and so were the pillows (both me and my wife woke up sore) Location is central and easy to walk to the old town, but the neighbourhood and area where the hotel actually is (and behind the hotel) made us feel quite unsafe (to the point we took Ubers rather than walking a few times).

We stayed for 2 nights at Axel Bilbao. Room was nice and spacious, especially liked the large shower. Location was convenient just across the bridge from old town. However, the streets right behind the hotel up the hill was sketch and didn’t feel as safe to walk according to taxi driver and we saw some fights break out among locals.
