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.

I’m could not fault the hotel. Beautiful rooms, friendly and very helpful staff, perfect location for exploring Bilbao. Old Town just across the bridge and then only a 5-10 minute walk to the main shopping area. Couldn’t be more perfect. Will definitely stay again.

Breakfast is extra, but well worth it. Roof top pool is small. Gym well equipped. Disappointed that bar closes at 9pm.

Very good location: just cross the bridge to visit the old town.
Bus stop in front of the hotel.
20-25 minutes walk from the Guggenheim museum.
The only small minus was the pool: it looked much bigger in the pictures.

Location was good- you could walk to the old city very easily. The pool is very small and there are no towels or umbrellas for shade. The bar at night is non existent- no scene or vibe . One sink in bathroom and no counter space for make up etc. bed was clean. I wouldn’t stay here again.
