Location on the edge of the Casco Viejo and on the tram line is great. Hotel is pretty easy to find - if you get to a parking garage 'Arena' just pull in there and park since the hotel doesn't have its own parking. You can pull into the pedestrian street to check in to the hotel, though, if you... More

This is a fantastic little hotel in an excellent location offering brilliant value for money. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and polite. Breakfast is of a reasonable standard with enough choice to keep most people happy. More

The petite palace is in a brilliant location, right in between the old and new town. The hotel is modern, clean and the rooms spacious. Would go back. I would only ask for tea making facilities in the room. More

I had a very spacious room, beautifully renovated in modern style in nice old building in an ideal location. This is exactly here you want to be – on the edge of the old town but close to the river, railway station, an easy walk into the new town and beautiful walk around the river to the Guggenheim. I didn’t... More

Stayed here in Early October. young reception clerk excellent and everything was top class. Would go back in the morning More

If this is a 3-star hotel I shudder to think what a 2-star looks like. The room feels like it got a cheapy upgrade but they forgot a few things. Floor is coming up in the bathroom, shower nasty (the hydra shower they advertise is nothing more than a plastic white shower head), room smells old. Walls are so thin... More

If you are planning a trip to Bilbao, consider to stay in the Petit Palaca Arana. It's a VERY, VERY well located hotel. It's about 5 min walking from the Guggenheim, you can also admire the Foster and Calatrava's bridges. Rooms are just perfect. Very relaxing, great decor and very confortable! More

Walking distance to Guggenheim, shoppping districts, city parks etc. Reception/common area is small and basic but the room was very good, spacious and well decorated. The area can be noisy at night - Spanish night life starts & finishes late. Staff were helpful with... More

We went to Bilbao to see the museums and walk around, in between London and Madrid. This hotel is located in the old city, but walking distance from the Guggenheim -- if you like walking. The hotel is pretty much no frills, but the staff and quirky decor makes a difference. If you are sharing the room with a friend,... More
