Iturrienea Ostatua

This is a roomy and attractive family run hotel perfectly located in the old part of Bilbao. Many fabulous restaurants are located just around the corner and the Guggenheim and other attractions are all very close. Despite this, the hotel is very quiet and inexpensive.

Stayed 2 nights here, everything was perfect. Price, location, hospitality! So happy we chose to stay here. Will definitely come back if we visit Bilbao again. Special thanks to Hai who took our check-in, you have been wonderful! Meeting you here, made our trip even more special :)

Loved our stay here: the hotel is right in the centre of the old town and very close to excellent bars. The soundproofing is really good — we couldn’t hear the street from our room when the window was shut. Lovely staff and a big room with a very modern bathroom. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Bilbao.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights while walking the Camino del Norte. We were warmly greeted by Daniel who quickly made us feel at home. ||||The lobby area consists of cozy seating area attached to the kitchen. We really enjoyed hanging out there in the evenings sharing food and beverages with our friends and some of the other guests staying there.||||Breakfast was great, served by smiling and friendly staff!||||I like the location as it was close to the supermarket and restaurants and it was easy to navigate yourself around the city from there.

Love the character and charm of Iturrienea Ostatua. It was very clean and quiet. The bedroom was modern with a very comfy bed, and the shower was modern as well. After a long day of walking around, we looked forward to coming back to the quiet, peaceful room. Iturrienea Ostatua is located on the second floor, and there is no elevator.||||The location is perfect. Located in the old town of Bilbao, close to lots of restaurants and shops with easy access to the Metro.||||Our host Daniel was very welcoming, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He gave us very good recommendations on where to eat locally in the old town. We ate at both his recommendations, and loved them both. Daniel also recommended that we take the Metro and visit the towns of Portugalete and Gexto. We are so glad we went there. We had a great day, walking along the beach from Portugalete to Puerto Viejo and then having a quick bite to eat in the old town of Gexto.||||Would highly recommend you stay here if you are planning a trip to Bilbao.

I can't stress enough how incredible this B&B is! The rooms are modern, clean and cool. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They took their time guiding us through maps & making sure we knew where we were going. Plus, the location of this place is hard to beat! You're in the middle of Old Town, surrounded by dozens of the best tapas places and bars. One amazing thing I should mention: We were there during the big festival in August, but the room was completely sound proof even as marching bands went by the hotel. Also, if you put in the special request box during booking that you want a balcony, the staff will accommodate and you'll have an amazing view! Can't recommend this place enough!

Iturrienea Ostatua is just Charming with a big C. A cosy hotel with great atmosphere in a historical building but with all modern comforts. And with super cool staff/patrons. I met 3 of them, all really welcoming. The room was quiet, tidy and the bed very comfy. This hotel is located in the heart of the old town with lots of restaurants around. Highly recommended!

Could not wait to get out of the tiny,dark smelly room that we were allocated. It was so small and badly planned it wasn't possible to open our carry-on luggage anywhere but on the bed. Technically it had a window but practically it opened onto a tiny interior space opening off reception. So getting out of bed you were within touching distance of anyone else who wandering by. Having raised these concerns at the partly staffed reception, I was told the solution was to keep the shutters down. By doing this you block off all natural light and any chance of fresh air. Again, hotel staff told me over half of their 9 rooms have no outside window. Buyer beware! Lastly the rooms are charm less with mis-matched old tat failing to disgust bad drains and poor maintenance.
