We stayed while passing through on motorbikes. Hotel is a nice distance from city centre and is definitely motorbike friendly. But i recomend you enter the carpark from the rear entrance if on 2 wheels, the ramp on front of the hotel is very slippy when wet! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7bf59384-6e09-4933-b489-f0956c0d9736-1760027091902.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Martin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William 23 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really enjoyed our stay.

Only slight drawback was the location which is a bit of a walk out of town up a steep hill. Room was clean and comfortable, nice shower. Breakfast excellent and reception staff very friendly and helpful. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jason 1 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the location of the property it was in a nice area and close to public transportation. It was clean and the staff was amazing. My only complaint is that the doors to the rooms are heavy and impossible to close quietly.So every time someone enters or exits their room it is loud . The breakfast buffet was really good too.I would definitely stay there again even with the loud doors. ##### Jason Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan 12 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 4 Night Stay Excellent hotel, with very friendly staff - especially the lady who served me dinner my first night. I forget her name. The hotel was a bit hard to find at first, but once I got there I realised there's a metro stop just a 2 min walk away. It's only one stop from the old town then. Highly recommend this place. ##### Alan Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 20 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed at the Occidental earlier as well and really liked the service and room.

Super friendly and service oriented staff. Wonderful breakfast buffet. Really a shame that the outdoor pool was closed even though heavily advertised with on booking and hotel site, in a week when day time temp was 30 deg C. Car park is expensive at € 20 / night. ##### Paul Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip 29 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really enjoyed our stay. Very clean and modern everywhere in the hotel and rooms. Breakfast was great quality and value for money. Staff extremely friendly. Location is a little further out of the old town that we would have liked but there is a metro station very near and the walk is only 30 mins. To use the spa is extra, but all the info was very clear when we booked. I would recommend and stay again. ##### Philip Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jody 29 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness #### Occidental Bilbao The hotel is clean and functional, within a 15 minute walk of the old town. The area around the hotel is quite run down, there’s a metro stop about mins walk away. Rooms are small but the en suites are good. Gym and spa are not part of the hotel but in a separate part of the basement, hotel guests must pay extra to use them each time they visit. ##### Jody Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Saba 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice rooms and clean. The restaurant and the breakfast was a disaster. All the table were a mess every morning and only 1 staff working. The dinner wasn´t that good either. Small portion of entrecote and the salad was old pieces of lettuce. ##### Saba Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ian 1 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A little out of town and on a relatively steep hill. However, there is a metro station only 200m away which gives easy access to the city. Next to a main road and so there was regular road noise at night. The pool was shut. Staff were efficient and friendly. The room was spacious and clean. A large sitting area on the ground floor to enjoy a drink from the bar. ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roxana 13 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Best were the staff, especially the two Ana’s (restaurant and bar) and David (bar), and the common areas and outdoor pool were quite pleasant, too. The room had a cheap feel for a 4 star hotel, inconveniently designed bathroom and clothe closet. The bed was excellent, however. The shower would have been nice if not for the badly tilted floor that caused water to stagnate in a small pool and which over time created a bit of mold. While the coffee at the bar was excellent, and so were the sandwiches in that area, the food in the pleasant looking restaurant was spectacularly bad on both occasions we tried it, no exaggeration. The hotel location was ok, working class apartment buildings all around and a very short and pleasant metro ride to Center 4 min walk from hotel, plus walkable down to old town if you don’t mind a lot of climbing on the way back. A mixed bag, in conclusion, but not awful, and would have given 4 stars if this was a 3 star hotel. ##### Roxana Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Leonardo Hotel San Sebastián](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Hotel-Bed4U-San-Sebastian.h77943073.Hotel-Information) > > [Catalonia Gran Vía Bilbao](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Hotels-Catalonia-Gran-Via-Bilbao.h65380281.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartamentos Líbere Bilbao Museo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Hotels-Apartamentos-Libere-Bilbao-Guggenheim.h65258592.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Libere Vitoria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vitoria-Gasteiz-Hotels-Libere-Vitoria.h58035083.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Sebastián Orly, Affiliated by Meliá](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Hotel-San-Sebastian-Orly.h527487.Hotel-Information) > > [Spirit Hotel Gran Bilbao](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Hotels-Hotel-Gran-Bilbao.h2967253.Hotel-Information) > > [Ekoos , Bilbao Eko Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Hotels-Ekoos-Hostel-Bilbao.h48432487.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Laguardia-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h105690540.Hotel-Information) > > [NYX Hotel Bilbao by Leonardo Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Hotels-NYX-Hotel-Bilbao-By-Leonardo-Hotels.h34963374.Hotel-Information) > > [Wecamp San Sebastian](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Camping-Bungalows-Igueldo-San-Sebastian.h44109060.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotels Lake Garda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Garda-Apart-Hotels.d6047147-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Pensión Alameda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Pension-Alameda.h37166074.Hotel-Information) > > [Abba San Sebastián Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Abba-Hotel-San-Sebastian.h48526364.Hotel-Information) > > [Livensa Living Studios Bilbao](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Hotels-Livensa-Living-Studios-Bilbao-SK.h82903349.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Jauregui](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Hotel-Sercotel-Jauregui.h183051.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel General Álava by Marriott](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vitoria-Gasteiz-Hotels-AC-Hotel-General-Alava-By-Marriott.h795454.Hotel-Information) > > [The Artist Grand Hotel of Art](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Hotels-Gran-Hotel-Domine-Bilbao.h870397.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Kora Green City ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vitoria-Gasteiz-Hotels-Kora-Green-City-Vitoria.h78561440.Hotel-Information) > > [LETOH LETOH San Sebastián](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Room007-Premium-Matia.h72399128.Hotel-Information) > > [Zinema7](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Zinema7.h2518183.Hotel-Information) > > [Parador de Hondarribia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Parador-De-Hondarribia.h1133313.Hotel-Information) > > [ Axel Hotel Bilbao – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Hotels-AXEL-HOTEL-BILBAO-ONLY-ADULTS.h107689358.Hotel-Information) > > [Camping Igara de San Sebastián](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Camping-Igara-De-San-Sebastian.h15074910.Hotel-Information) > > [The Arden Hotel & Leisure Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Arden-Hotel-Leisure-Club.h1184887.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel ILUNION San Sebastian](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Hotel-ILUNION-San-Sebastian.h430.Hotel-Information) > > [room Select Bilbao](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Hotels-Hotel-Bilbao-Jardines.h1591613.Hotel-Information) > > [Bilbao City Center by abba Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bilbao-Hotels-Bilbao-City-Center-By-ABBA-Apartments.h37583676.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Activities ---
