Radisson Collection Bilbao
Bedrooms - the rooms were sweltering and there is no way to control the heating in the rooms!!! Made for two poor nights sleep! The shower leaked badly in both rooms - meant the bathroom flooded every time you had a shower!

NYX Hotel Bilbao by Leonardo Hotels
Great hotel by the old town. We booked our stay for 2 nights, room was larger than expected with a city view. However, the only down side with the city view room was the noise from the street late into the night.

Petit Palace Arana
Excellent location, right on the main Plaza. The lobby almost feels like entering an Art Gallery. They skillfully blended a modern design with the original old stone walls. The room was a decent size and had all the amenities. Very quiet in the evening.
