A lovely hotel. Very close to the old town. Great roof bar and a cute pool (unheated). No children in the hotel. Excellent breakfast. Highly recommended.

New and clean but would not stay again

Room was new and clean However the room design is a bit odd. Bathroom has no door (a curtain), shower has a see through glass (no privacy), and shower area shape makes it too large, wasting space and making the rest of the room too small. Bed was quite uncomfortable - even if new - and so were the pillows (both me and my wife woke up sore) Location is central and easy to walk to the old town, but the neighbourhood and area where the hotel actually is (and behind the hotel) made us feel quite unsafe (to the point we took Ubers rather than walking a few times).

Loved the quiet location out of city center, yet still close to the more bohemian side of Bilbao. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

We stayed for 2 nights at Axel Bilbao. Room was nice and spacious, especially liked the large shower. Location was convenient just across the bridge from old town. However, the streets right behind the hotel up the hill was sketch and didn’t feel as safe to walk according to taxi driver and we saw some fights break out among locals.

Lovely stay, great location!

The hotel staff were super nice, especially on reception, always happy to give directions or a recommendation. The room is nice, we had a lovely gesture on one of our birthdays, when chocolates and a free drinks token for the both of us at sky bar was left, what a lovely touch! Not many sun loungers by the pool but is only a roof terrace to be fair. Only other feedback is that the hanging situation is a smidge impractical if you are a lady and bring lots of dresses. You need to move the tea and coffee station for your clothes to actually hang. That feature is more aesthetic than practical. Otherwise the hotel is lovely, with good facilities and lush location next to the old town.
