Stayed only one night and left without a chance to try the breakfast. The lobby is very spacious and decorated with in modern style that seems slightly outdated already, but its pleasant. You can feel that although it might not look much this hotel as pride and heritage in the city of Bilbao. Friends in Spain could testify. The corridors... More

this is a decent place to stay at. Nothing fancy and the room are quite old, but everything works and is clean. The wifi can be desperately slow. on the good side, good tapas (or pinchos) bars around, and very decent rates.

Stayed here two nights on a business trip. The hotel is centrally located, clean, modern and the rooms are of good standard. The restaurant serves very good food, but there are lots of decent tapas bars in the locality that are highly recommended and good value.

This place need a good refurbishment, and it needs it now. The rooms are very old fashion, with old fashion interior and old bathrooms. The Reception area gives a much nicer impression than the rooms. Breakfast is OK, but not great. The Gym at the top floor is small. I did stay at this hotel regularly over 1 year, and... More

I stay in Spanish hotels on business on a weekly basis and I haven't seen anything as bad as this in years. The bathroom is especially bad, it really is like a prison shower. But everything is cramped, tatty, old, depressing and cheap. My colleague stayed the previous night and she says that her room was smelly and freezing cold,... More

We have just returned from The Ercilla Hotel and it was a relief to get back to our comfortable home. On the plus side the hotel is in a good central location and the Guggenheim Museum is amazing but if you’re looking for a comfortable, relaxing break –avoid this hotel. The welcome and hospitality is as lacklustre as the tired... More

Bilbao has one thing going for it and it is NOT this hotel! The best thing about it is it's proximity (about 10 mins walk) to the Guggenheim Museum - which IS the best thing about Bilbao. It is absolutely amazing and worth staying at this hotel just so I could see it! It appears the higher you go, the... More

After trying to book this hotel for what appeared to be reasonable rates for a central hotel had the most eye opening experience trying to book this hotel at the incredible "bad Manners" of staff at reservations.
