Hotel Barceló Nervión - Bilbao

7.4

hotel was in a very good location just next to the river with a short walk from the old town, shopping street and gugenheim museum. We where lucky as the hotel overbooked and we received a massive room with river view. However this is a 3 star hotel, the room was a bit worn out with wall paper coming down and dirty carpet. However the bathroom was very nice and the room was clean. I`m more than happy to stay in this hotel again for this price because of the location.

9.3

The best thing about this hotel is its excellent location on the river between the Guggenheim Museum, the center and the old town. All were within easy walking distance. Aside from that, it is a clean, modern hotel suited to any kind of traveler---a good value.

7.7

Barcelò nervion is a good choice but I had some little problem. 1- they assigned me a twin room enven if I reserved a double. 2- I told them about the problem and they assigned me a double room, but very little.

8.4

Hotel Barcelo Nervion was very well situated for both the old and new parts of the city. The added bonus of the new tram system made getting around Bilbao very easy and very inexpensive. As we both like walking, being on the river bank made for a plesant stroll any time of day.

8.8

The hotel is clean, staff is very professional but the hotel is more suited for business than leisure

7.8

Location of hotel is just across the river from the Guggenheim, nice 10 minute stroll. Rooms are of a good size, and staff were friendly. Only complaint was from our loud talking neighbours, could hear them through the walls. Overall, a nice modern hotel to stay in, recommended and would stay there again.

8.9

excellent hotel, good quality/price ratio good atmosphere: nice lobby, cafe, tv-space

10

all was fineand it is why we often come back

9.8

We were near to most of what we wanted to see We walked most places and used the tram which was just over the river. Walking distances to everything. The hotel was modern clean and quiet. It was easy to find.

8.4

It is a lovely hotel. I appreciated the knowledgeable , helpful staff as well as the lobby/bar area. It had a good friendly feeling and still afforded guests quiet alone time when desired.

8.6

La localicación es correcta; a 10min. del Gugghenheim andando y próximo al casco viejo. El hall y el restaurante están renovados y resultan muy acogedores. La zona de habitaciones es correcta pero no está tan bién como el acceso. La eficacia del personal de recepción es espectacular.

8.6

Ottima posizione e rapporto qualità/prezzo. Il garage è costoso in relazione al tempo di sosta effettivo.Camere pulite,spaziose e silenziose ma buie con vista interna deprimente.

9.6

I was very lucky as I actually booked a double room for individual use and as the Hotel was full they gave me a suite, so couldn't be better. The breakfats was not included ,but you can have a basic breakfast for 4 euros in the Hotel, and there is a bigger one with more options but that one is a little expensive around 12 euros, or you have nice places to have a breakfast just outside the Hotel to the left. the Hotel is very modern but cozy and perfectly clean the rooms. The only but, I needed for my mobile charger (which is irish and have three plugs) a adapter, and they say in the room service booklet that they have but when I ran they didn't have.Hopefully they will improve that. The Hotel is 10 minutes walking to the right to the Guggenheim museum.

8.5

Staff was helpful eventhough some dont speak English well. Room for single person is small but aftercomplaining about noise of the room next door , I was given the new room right away, eventhough it was midnight,very responsible and attentive staff. Will be staying there again if I go to Bilbao.

8.2

Bien situado, cerca del Gugenheim y del casco histórico. Excelente relación calidad-precio. Limpio y con todas las comodidades de su categoría. En el bar muy amables, en recepción no tanto. Como crítica, que las habitaciones tenían las paredes demasiado finas, se oía todo de los de al lado, y el parking carísimo, 18 euros por noche. Claramente volvería a este hotel.

9.2

I really liked to stay at Barceló Nervión. We payed very little but got much in return! Breakfast wasn't included but you get an extended breakfast buffet for only 6,5 euro. It's close to the Guggenheim museum. The room is somewhat small but clean and comfortable. Very good hotel!

8.1

Hotel was more corporate than we usually book but had a nice, busy atmosphere. Staff were friendly and extremely welcoming - don't speak much English so try some Spanish with a smile and they'll help you out.. Rooms were very clean and well-maintained. Lifts took ages so you might want to walk unless you're on the top floor. Bar is very nice for breakfast and it's a short walk to Casca Viejo to the left and Guggenheim to the right. Metro and trams are very reliable so give them a try. We'll return to BIlbao and would stay here again.

8.4

M'ha agradat molt l'hotel, especialment la ubicacio i la relacio qualitat - preu.

6.4

With my second visit to Bilbao, this hotel has been described as "very close to Casco Viejo." However in vain, it is over 1km away from a hotel, so I had to carried two bottles of waters all the way from Casco Viejo. Also, I did not think about a size of this hotel. It is quite large hotel, so I had to walk down all the way to get to my room from an elevetor, sigh. Taking showers from my neighborhood rooms are so evident from early in a morning. Otherwise, this hotel is nice located and clean.

5.2

they gave us the smallest room in the floor beacuse we only paid $60, very noisy, and PARKING COST $20!!!!, do not park there, there is a public parking nearby

8.5

ho trovato l'hotel molto valido. Giusto mix tra qualità e prezzo. Personale cortese, ottima caffetteria. Costoso il collegamento a internet non avendo più in dotazione schede prepagate da un'ora abbiamo dovuto prendere per forza quella da 24 ore a 12 euro. camera spaziosa. qualche critica agli accessori del bagno; pochi asciugamani per 2 persone, così come scarsa fornitura di sapone e shampoo. E po perchè per 2 persone solo una confezione dentifricio+spazzolino? con dentifricio monodose fornito solo la prima notte? posizione dell'hotel ottima ma scomoda da raggiungere con i mezzi pubblici dall'aereoporto. le indicazioni sul depliant a tale proposito ti costringono a camminare per oltre 15-20 minuti magari con valige pesanti. Piu' semplice sarebbe stato indicare come fermata del bus il terminal e da lì prendere il metrò di superficie fino alla fermata situata quasi di fronte all'hotel, al di là del fiume

9.6

Very kind hotel. I suggest it.

5.0

The reception was not good. First, they couldn’t find the booking. I had forgot to bring confirmation on paper, so I had to search in Internet for my reservation before I got the room. The employers in the reception couldn’t speak English. The people in the reception was not service-minded. For instance, we asked a couple of times where we could buy stamps, and we felt that they got embarrassed. One time, a girl in the reception said that the stamps that the reception had before that day was finished, but they could send our postcards together with the mail from the hotel. So we gave her money for stamps. Those postcards are still missing, and we have told our the relatives that we don´t expect that they will get any postcards (It´s now 1 ½ week since we send them. If the postcards come – I will inform. I don´t like to accuse someone without reasons)

8.0

Great Location! Extremely clean room. Only disappointment was that breakfast was not included.

9.4

In riva al fiume; vicino al Gughenaim e al casco viejo; sembra un albergo di categoria superiore

9.8

Das Hotel ist genial gelegen, direkt am Nervion zwischen Altstadt und Innenstadt und gerade einmal 5 Gehminuten vom Guggenheim Museum entfernt. Die Zimmermädchen leisten excellente Arbeit und Preis-Leistung sind nicht zu toppen. Immer wieder gerne !

9.8

We enjoyed our stay very much, the breakfasts were excellent but rather pricey especially compared to the value for money evening meal. It would be really good for the Hotel Restaurant to be open to residents on Sunday evenings, we had to go a long way to find somewhere to eat on a very rainy Sunday evening

9.9

EXCELLENT. WOULD GO THERE AGAIN!

8.3

Though I`ve got confirmation for the room at the 10. of Janurary, there was no room reserved at my arrival! The only rooms left were rooms at the Ria-side, which gave me an extra cost at 30 euro pr night !!! Late at nigth I had no choise. The desk-clerk should have given me the avvaible room for my reservationprice or at least for a reduced price - poor poor service

9.8

The hotel was lovely and te staff very helpful. We were initially given twin room despite asking for double but that was corrected promptly. All in all a great experience.

7.0

A large corpo type hotel. acroos the river from transit,etc. I booked well in advance to get a good rate

8.9

Overall the hotel was very good value, but for one aspect. It was very noisy. The walls seemed to be very thin and it was easily possible to hear snoring from an adjoining room. Every time the toilet was used it created a great deal of noise.

9.0

Everything was fine in the hotel but they did not have out booking and it took nearly an hour to find us accommodation on what was a very busy weekend in Bilbao. They maintained that the reservation number had nothing to do with them and that they had never heard of Venare! We are therefore very wary about using your service again. We would appreciate a response from you about this.

7.8

Comfortable, well run hotel with attentive staff. Easy walking to old quarter; shops; trains; funicular and Guggenheim Museum. Enjoyable stay!

9.4

the hotel was easy to find, only one moan, as we entered the hotel to check in we were given a frosty reception, this may have been due to us turning up on a motorcycle and dressed in leathers.

10

Il tutto molto meglio di quanto ci aspettassimo. Il nostro esordio di prenotazione a mezzo internet è stato molto più che positivo.

9.6

Great hotel for the price we paid, easy walking distance for sight seeing and going out at night. Friendly staff aswell.

8.4

I was really surprised to see the interior of the hotel. From the outside, and from the price, I was expecting a small 3 stars hotel, but what I saw inside is almost 5 stars! The internet cafe is the best feature! Location to Guggenheim was perfect!

6.8

The hotel is okay, but it is definetely not 4-stars even by European standards. The wall paintings in grass-green over the corridors is out of any taste. The restaurant was not open during our 2-days stay; the bar is not very attractive. I was upset on check out when they asked me to pay for the garage (9Eu/day), because on check in they said that the garage is free and the same was mentioned in a welcome kit in the room.

8.9

Good quality hotel on river close to Zubizuri bridge and old town. Good value for money although didn't have a river view. Breakfast comprehensive although slightly expensive at 12euros.

9.6

You'll probably see my earlier review down the page froma year or so ago. Still an excellent place to stay, the location is perfect so close to so many attractions of Bilbao - old quarter, Guggenheim, new centre, parks etc. One tip try and book early as the price will be a bit cheaper on the net if you do.

9.1

Good location, efficient staff, nice hotel. Had to pay for parking which was a surprise plus on one of the nights the hotel car park was full and we had to park across the street which was inconvenient.

9.8

a very welcoming hotel, the staff were very polite and spoke english. only dissatisfaction the hotel was advertised with only front facing rooms looking over the river, this infact is not correct as the room we had was at the rear of the building. the room itself was very clean and spacious .

8.2

Really good value for money and excellent situated between Guggenheim Museum, old Theatre and tram station opposite river. Rooms good BUT noise level not - you hear the toilet flushes very loud from your neighbour. In the middle of the night the sudden hard noise wakes one with a schock. Contrary to other comments, the dinner in the restaurant was a huge disappointment - no English not even from a very unfriendly maitre d' who did not even understand when you ask for butter. With a tour group keeping them busy, they totally forget to care about their individual client.

6.9

my major complaint is the exhorbitant car parking charges. I do not expect to pay so much for car parking especially when staying at the hotel.

8.9

Rooms were fantastic value and were a pleasure to stay in. Location was also perfect for access to the Guggenheim and the centre of Bilbao. Unfortunately, staff at check in and at the concierge were less than welcoming. Overall though, a lovely place to stay.

9.1

Comfortable hotel at reasonable price.

8.9

Good location on the river. In between the old quarter and the Guggenheim museum.

6.5

Tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms would be an improvement. Otherwise generally comfortable and pleasant.

7.2

Hotel is conveniently situated between the Old Town and the Guggenheim Museum. Modern rooms with good bathrooms.

9.2

Well placed on riverside.Only a short walk to museum and tram into town.Overall very good value for money.

7.5

Good location. Very good service. Good food, including the best breakfasts on a 6ooo km tour. Rooms utilitarian rather than spacious, but with the benefit of good fittings and service support. Generally well up to the advertised standard.

9.7

The hotel is excellent and great value for money. Our stay there was perfect. The breakfast was fabulous. The web photograph does not do it justice.

9.6

The hotel was as good as the reviews already posted with Venere described it would be. For value for money and location this place takes some beating. The staff were superb and the buffet breakfast is a must. The hotel is a gem of a place for both business and leisure customer's.

7.5

I chose this hotel having read the other reviews on this site but was a bit disappointed. My room was very poky and dark - even with all the available lights on. The net curtains were dirty and the room smelt cigarettes. However, the public areas were much nicer and the set menu excellent for 16 euros.

8.5

Excellent quality, dificult to be more specific as a very short stay so we did not use the majority of your services, we would certainly come back and recommend your hotel to others

9.3

good value three star hotel. excellent service.helpful efficient staff.great breakfasts.great location on riverside and near old town and funicular.generally a slick modern hotel epitomising the new Bilbao.

9.2

Very good hotel in an excellent location. I would certainly stay here again. Note breakfast wasn't included in the price. Eat in at least one night for their set menu 16 euros when I was there, excellent food and great value for money.

Dear, Barcelo Nervio was a spacious hotel with excellent rooms (clean, luxury feel, silent, good beds, TV, Airco). Its also right in the center of Bilbao. When we noticed we only had to pay Euro 52 for a double room for 1 night we thought it was a mistake. Only a shame the hotel parking was full so we had to pay extra for an outside parking. This however was probably to do with the fact that there were fiesta's in Bilbao during our stay. Overall, I would recommend Barcelo Nervio very strongly to anyone visiting Bilbao, whether for business or leisure purposes. Best regards, O. Mullie

Veramente un hotel eccezionale in buonissima posizione a 2 passi dal Guggenheim!

7.9

The breakfast was lovely. It was a pity to pay about 10€ for the garage.

10

Really excellent value - I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anybody.

8.9

Nice and professional hotel. The charged price was lower than the confirmed price. A real good bargain.

8.8

Overall a very good hotel, well placed for Guggenheim, central and Old Town Bilbao and with all the expected facilities for a 3-star. Buffet and table-d'hote meals were excellent quality and good value but Sunday Cafeteria meal (restaurant closed)was disappointing after such good food on previous evenings.

9.7

Excellent hotel, very good location, everything was great. Would stay another time for sure.
