Nice location in the old town, friendly staff -and clean however the mirrow above the headboard of the bed is too high and useless for a 5 foot height person so ended up using the little one in the toilet.

It's centrally located, which is both a plus (close to everything we wanted to do/see/eat) and minus (older building and corner room added to various noises like floors creaking and vehicles passing by). Otherwise, it's a really good place to stay.

Good location
Very clean but for €156 a night would have expected a kettle in the room (was sure it was when I booked) and was told on checking out kettle should have been in room. I wanted a cup of coffee and was told to go to the bar at the end of the street and get a take away. The location was great. The young man on reception when we checked in and out was very nice and friendly sorry didn’t get his name. We didn’t have breakfast but loads of places nearby to eat. It was quite noisy but it’s an old hotel so creaking floorboards should be expected.

Stayed here with my wife for a couple of nights at the start of our recent tour of northern Spain. We've stayed Petit Palace before, & like before, this was excellent. The staff were helpful, the location was superb, the usual quirks of the hotel & wonderful rooms, really. This hotel is very central to a lot of what there is to see in Bilbao. Also, near to the Old Town, where there are lots of restaurants. The parking is the only slight down side - off site, in a public parking facility with a slight reduction for guests. Not a big problem, though. And to be fair, there really is no other option. So, can't really complain!

Brilliant location and friendly staff. It is a basic hotel - but had everything I needed. I had two different rooms over the week and the first one had a really nice view onto the street. The second room was slightly bigger (3 bed) and even without a view it was nice. It allowed a bit of sound through as some reviewers mention, but nothing major.

Could use a refresh.
Room was TINY and worn. Could use a refresh. Additionally, the window in the room opened onto a roof access for equipment in interior of building so there was no light coming in the room. Considering we stayed during the coronavirus outbreak putting us in a nicer room (as the hotel was nearly empty) would have gone a long way. Only plus was the location (reason I selected). Located in Old Town in middle of pintxos bar area. Park at Arenal underground parking about 5 minutes away.

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for choosing Petit Palace Arana on occasion of your trip to beautiful Bilbao and sharing your opinion with us afterwards. Thank you for mentioning our superb location at the Old Town of Bilbao. We truly regret that we could not live up to your expectations and we are sad to learn about the left impression of our hotel. We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience, and it’s apparent in this case, we fell short. We are terribly sorry to learn that your guestroom did not meet your expectations. please, let me inform you that we do offer different room categories that vary in size, bed type and views, and all of the are available online. If you give us a chance to earn back your trust, I can assure you that we will do our best to give you the great hotel experience that so many of our guests have grown so fond of. Yours sincerely, Helena Álvarez Experience Manager Petit Palace Arana
