The perfect stay before grabbing the ferry back to the UK the next day - 15 mins to the port. The room was a generous size with a great shower and the option to have a bath. We used the pool for a nice relaxing swim and ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. The quality of the food was excellent. Everyone we came accross was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be staying again!

I'd say this hotel is a 3 star, not a 4. And it's starting to feel very dated and looking tired in the rooms. The Air Con was not functioning correctly in the room I was given, so it made for an uncomfortable sleep on a night after the temp had reached 38 celsius.
Parking was overpriced but at least it was safe.
The bathrooms felt a bit grubby, and the bedroom didn't make me feel clean either. Just a general sense of dirt and age. The free waters in the fridge were a nice touch and the staff were fine.

But overall I would not stay again.

When we checked in the reception staff were very friendly and helpful with advice on local travel and parking in the city. Our room on the 5th floor was lovely, clean and comfortable. We had a really good breakfast and the midday check out meant no hurry. Parking garage was safe and secure with large spaces and plenty of room. A real benefit. Thanks!

Where to start? Ok...we had several choices for hotels in Bilbao but chose Hotel Puerta for 3 nights because their main selling feature was a functional outdoor pool, which my daughters wanted to use, especially since the weather was nice. The pool was in great condition but closed to public 'until end of June'. No reason given. We could not cancel or shorten our stay because it was booked via Expedia, apparently.

Parking is terrible. There's no loading area in front of the lobby and directions send you to the back in a nearby parking area. Parking itself requires a lengthy route back to the front street, a 2 minute drive to a roundabout, doubling back, taking another roundabout well past the hotel, and then making a left down a back street to the parkade, which is 17 Euros/day. Make sure you give them your licence plate (even if a rental) because they will make your return to have the privilege of parking with them. They issue a piece of paper with a scannable code for the length of your stay -it's far more complicated than it needs to be.

Staff were not helpful at all and were mostly rude. It was as if we were an inconvenience and they forgot they work in the service industry. Front desk folks would pass responsibilities to others rather than taking care.

I asked for a space to work since the rooms are small and they said I could only rent a space for 50 Euros.

Expect to pay for absolutely everything and expect terrible service, especially if you speak English.

The drains in the shower/bath stink! The whole room smells of toilet/drain smell.
The drains in the shower and bath are clean so it must be the central drains of the hotel.
I had to stuff towels down the drain to stop the room stinking.
Also the hot breakfast was cold! Every day, cold.
There are no hot plates under the hot food and the heat lamps above are too high.
I complained one day, the chef made me fresh hot eggs but it was the same the day after and day after that (stayed for 4 nights).
These things need sorting out, its not acceptable for a 4 star hotel.
The staff were very friendy and helpful which was great. The hotel was nice apart from the 2 things i just mentioned.
Parking is 15 euro a night which is not mentioned on the listing!! So be aware.
However, parking outside is free but you'll be lucky to find a space so its worth paying it in my experience.

Don’t book this hotel

Avoid this hotel if you plan to visit Bilbao. Location is really bad.

Hotel does not comply with basic safety rules to avoid Covid spread. Hotel has seven floors but only two rather small elevators. Even if an elevator already has a passenger (one or a Covid “bubble” of people) the elevator makes stops to pick up more passengers. Recommendations to avoid Covid spread are not advertised on each floor, by the elevator doors and the elevators are packed with people.

Hotel is both ignorant and arrogant and has no intention to introduce restrictions to reduce Covid spread. But, at check in guests have to agree to pay an additional 50 Euros for cleaning, should they smoke a cigarette in their room.

Nice hotel, although we booked with parking when we arrived they said no parking but eventually we sorted it out. The reception was helpful and even printed me out passenger locator forms and other documents for free. We did not book breakfast and could not get a coffee anywhere in the hotel the morning after which was pretty poor. Got an evening meal and the burger was raw, we did get refund for this and told that chef had been busy, although the food did arrive shortly after ordering I would have waited longer for the food to be cooked properly.

Not 4 star hotel AT ALL

Before trying this hotel, I was using 2 stars hotel MUCH better than this one. I arrived into my room and all (hand wash, shower and bath) gel recipients were empty. No cleaning staff available, but from reception (polite and friendly staff) I got new shower gel.
Big surprise was that they have no laundry service now (COVID times), when is more important and parking is 14 Euro per day even if you don't choose cheapest room. First night I had a drunk woman neighbor and nobody, not even security personnel, could stop her making big noise. I could not sleep till 4.30AM. I moved to another hotel.

It is located a few kilometres from Bilbao but excellent transport links straight into the town and many large shops within walking distance. The breakfast was buffet style and had a huge variety of cooked and continental foods with gluten free options and alternative milk too. The restaurant in the evening was also excellent and reasonably priced. We would definitely stay again.

Good, but less well connected than we thought

The hotel is good, a standard Novotel. We had an issue at check-in because one of the children had had a birthday between booking in April and our stay, starting August 30. One member of staff raised it with my wife and said there would be extra to pay. I tried to check with Cheap Tickets about the relevant policies but could not find an appropriate email address to use. In the end, a different member of staff let us check out without saying anything about this. Otherwise, staff were very good, at breakfast and at the outdoor pool.

Our main issue was that the hotel was further from the Guggenheim and the rest of the attractions of Bilbao than we thought. It’s a 15 or 20 minute walk to the metro and no buses go immediately past the hotel. Once on the metro, everything is easy to reach and the day ticket is great value at €4.60 per person. The metro, however, stops at around 11 pm mid-week and that caught us out one night. We loved Bilbao, but on the whole would be inclined to look for a more central hotel next time.

Good location for ferry

Although the hotel is a typical Novotel - so good alround and helpful staff - there was an odd smell just about everywhere! We initially thought it was cigarette smoke in the air conditioning. We left the windows open and the air did improve but late at night it was unpleasant - best guess is smelly drains ... We didn't complain as we literally only slept in the room, showered and left; a quick stopover on the way back to the uk! I'd be reluctant to stay again though if it was the same...

Room service was pricey in my opinion (13 Euros for a Club Sandwich) as was the car parking (12 Euros). The TV didn't have many English channels and the picture quality was fuzzy.

The hotel is 12 minutes walk from the Metro and about 25 minutes away from the centre of Bulbao once on the metro. The hotel was quite impersonal and the staff were a little aloof and not as helpful as my experiences in other hotels.

Concrete city

We were only staying one night en route to the ferry terminal. The hotel itself is fine but the area is horrible, a concrete city of tower blocks and a retail park. Mc Donald's and Aldi are beside the hotel and the area is filthy. Hotel is nice but the area is rough and I would not recommend it.

Four person room - not really

The hotel is quite nice. A bit of a walk to the Bilbao metro, but not too bad. We booked a four person room but the sofa bed mattress is a twin, no bigger. If your kids are bigger you'll need two rooms. Breakfast costs extra but is worth it.

Convenient for access to Ferry Port.

We stayed in the Novotel in Bilbao as a stop off point in readiness to catch a ferry the next day. As it was situated near the motorway we found that it was very convenient to travel to the ferry port. The cleanliness, service and location were very good. As we were only there for one night we did not check out the amenities. Wi-Fi was excellent. Evening meal and breakfast were good but not exceptional.
