Hotel Miró

I really liked this hotel and loved the location. It worked out perfectly for everything we wanted to do on this trip to Bilbao. From the moment we arrived the staff was attentive and took great care of us from the beginning of our stay until checking out. Breakfast was delicious and the perfect start for each day. You’re just minutes from the Guggenheim museum, shopping, and lots of restaurants. A taxi stop is located on this street and city transportation is minutes away. Definitely recommend this hotel 😊

We went to Bilbao to visit the Guggenheim and Hotel Miro was the perfect place to stay with its location directly across the street from the museum. It exceeded our expectations in every other way too. A small hotel with a jewel of a lobby with comfy leather chairs and a cozy honor bar where we tasted Basque wines and relaxed after hours at the museum. The room was well laid out and had a big bathroom with excellent Moulton Brown toiletries. I can’t say enough about the delicious, plentiful breakfast and the delightful Josu who greeted us by name each morning. Local breads, jams, cheeses, ham, and cakes; special toasts with avocado or tomatoes; eggs cooked to order; and real newspapers to linger over! My only quibble is that our museum view room, #54, did have a view if we twisted into a corner and leaned awkwardly. But we were happy to do that as the museum is magnificent. I’ll finish by gushing over the staff. Ahead of our arrival, they sent us restaurant suggestions and made us a reservation for our choice, which was excellent. When we had trouble getting bus tickets, they navigated the confusing website for us. Everything was done with warmth and sincerity. Hotel Miro is a real gem.

My wife and I visited Bilbao, Spain in May 2025 and stayed at the Miró hotel, right in the heart of the city, with a magnificent view of the Guggenheim Museum. Our room was spacious and well organized. The breakfast buffet offered a variety of choices including local favorites. The hotel staff provided magnificent service. We toured the city on foot. When we needed to travel beyond the city boundaries, the metro station was within walking distance. Despite the frequent rain showers, Bilbao’s timeless artistic beauty, and the sunny disposition its people proudly display, make the city a delightful destination||Ricardo

We stayed here only one night on our way to San Sebastián. As others have mentioned, the location was great to visit the Guggenheim. We had a lovely view of the park and Guggenheim. Room was clean and nicely appointed.|What stood out for us was the staff. We were having issues finding an available bus to San Sebastián. The front desk staffs knowledge of the system was invaluable and they were able to find what we needed.|Thanks again!

Elegant hotel across from the Guggenheim museum. Room looked exactly as on the picture on their website. Spotless! My room was in the back with no view, but I didn’t care. Soundproof. Professional, engaging staff. Loved the library on the lobby.

We had the misfortune of staying at Hotel Miro on the Thursday before Easter. Having booked an ‘inner courtyard view’ room, we were surprised to find the blind and curtain drawn upon entering our room (no.21), then dismayed when we discovered that the room in fact had opaque windows with no view out whatsoever (see photo). Extremely noisy air conditioning plant meant it was impossible to have the window open, whilst noise from other rooms travelled seemingly unimpeded with the window closed. ||||The room was therefore dark, claustrophobic and extremely unpleasant to spend any time in. The bathroom was only separated from the sleeping area by a curtain, which meant there was zero privacy, and the whole place felt damp. This deeply unpleasant experience was ours for the not inconsiderable sum of 200 euros for the night. Ours is not the first review to note these serious shortcomings, and I must conclude that this place trades on its (rather tired and dated) ‘designer’ credentials and central location. ||||We booked this hotel through booking.com and after providing a fair, honest review on that platform we received an extremely patronising response from someone who laughably describes themselves as the hotel’s ‘guest experience manager’ suggesting that we should have booked a junior suite instead! (at approximately double the cost). Earlier that same week, we had stayed at Sercotel Ayala in Bilbao, a wonderful hotel with spacious, modern rooms, excellent service and a delicious breakfast for around half the price per night, so the only justification for the Miro’s elevated prices must be its proximity to the Guggenheim museum. It certainly isn’t the place itself.||||Bilbao is a wonderful city, easily walkable and with many great bars, restaurants and indeed hotels. Do yourself a favour and stay anywhere but Hotel Miro.

Can’t say enough good things about Hotel Miró. Had a quick one night stay after returning from San Sebastián. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the room was very clean and comfortable. The location of this hotel is down the street from the Guggenheim and you can easily get to it via tram. Additionally it is a nice walk along the river if you want to visit the old town. Can’t wait to come back and stay here again!

Fantastic location close to major sights and 20 minute walk to old town. The hotel had great service and had clean rooms with nice amenities. We liked the fact that the staff spoke English and were super helpful. Definitely recommend this hotel for your stay in Bilbao

The Miró was a highlight of our trip to Bilbao. The hotel was beautiful and very well maintained. The rooms were clean and comfy and Hubby Steve and I slept south fly. Best part about the hotel, however is the staff. They were friendly, helpful with all our questions and knowledgeable about the area and best places to eat. Highly recommend staying here if you visit Bilbao.

I stayed at Hotel Miro for two night. I had a great stay. When I got there they upgraded me to a larger room on the 7th floor. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. It came with a great view of the Gehry museum which is why I came to Bilbao in the first place. The location of the hotel is in the heart of the city. Local shops around the museum and hotel are nice but a little geared towards tourism. I recommend going beyond for more local food and shops. Overall, I would recommend this hotel if you are staying in Bilbao.

Three stars for actual accommodations, four stars for location, parking convenience, friendly staff, location/views of the Guggenheim Museum. I enjoyed my stay at this hotel which is across the street from the Guggenheim Museum. My standard double room was small with a comfortable bed. Overall the room's furnishings seem to be a bit on the cheap side, but the hotel's lobby was a little posher. The room itself was fine, but I did find it to be a bit drafty after my shower due to the fact the bathroom (there is a separate water closet for the toilet) has curtains instead of walls. Hotel staff were welcoming and very helpful and even upgraded my room to one with a view of the museum, which was very nice. Old Town is an enjoyable 15-20 minute walk from the hotel. If you do stay here be sure to stop into the seafood restaurant next door (Marisquería Mazarredo); I didn't try the food, but the older gentleman behind the bar makes a fantastic gin and tonic and watching him make it is art. If you are looking for parking there is a public parking lot across the street from the hotel with reasonable overnight rates.

This is the place to stay in Bilbao, especially if you're only there for the Guggenheim and the old town (like just about everybody else). Very good service, and very reasonably priced for such a convenient location, literally a block away from Guggenheim - so if that is the only reason you're visiting Bilbao, you might as well stay close by, since there is no above-ground parking lot at the museum. (There is an underground garage nearby.) Old town is a 20-minute leisurely walk away, along the river bank -- very pleasant stroll. Highly recommended.

This hotel could not be in a better location if you're visiting the Guggenheim and the central area. It is, however, a bit of a hike if the old town is your preference. The lobby sitting area is very welcoming, even if the staff is not particularly so. It includes a bar area that has juices, water, coffee, tea and snacks available for guests at all times, with a comfortable reading area. There are no valets or bellmen to assist with luggage. This is purely a very nice "tourist class" hotel. The main thing to know about is the rooms. They are very nicely and modernly decorated. BUT, just remember, if you get a room facing the front of the hotel, you'll have a very nice view of the museum and will likely be happy, and if get one in the back, you'll be facing into a building and you'll most certainly be unhappy.

This hotel has basic accomodations. My room was small and the furnishing was functional though nothing fancy. Everything was clean. I liked their self serve breakfast and snacks in the lobby bar area. The hotel is across the street and just a few paces from the Guggenheim. Very convenient. I'd stay here again.

This hotel is the perfect location for art lovers coming to Bilbao as it is between the Guggenheim and the Fine Arts Museum. The prices were very reasonable and you can even get a 20% if you book 60 days prior to arrival. The room was very modern with a low bed, marble shower and a leather couch/window seat that had a great view of the Guggenheim. The room service tapas menu was reasonable and actually pretty good. The breakfast buffet was very overpriced (15 euros for continental breakfast.) They do have a hospitality lounge with one of those fancy coffee makers and a fridge full of drinks. There are a few people on staff that speak English but not everyone does so brush up on some simple phrases and you will be okay. I'd definitely recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Bilbao.

Great hotel. The bed is so comfortable and the hotel is very conveniently located. The staff is also exceptional, I would be happy to stay here again.

the location is terrific. however the rooms are very small, the breakfast lacking, the rates high and most importantly the staff was rude.
