Reale Arena

A very good hotel within easy walking distance of all the major things to see in Bilbao.

This is not a 2 star hotel. Do not let this fool you. This property is amazing!! The front desk was very nice and the rooms were clean. It’s a 10 min walk to the city center but it’s along the river and quite peaceful. I looked into why it only has two stars and it’s because Spain requires every hotel to have a star rating based on certain amenities. This hotel can not go over two stars because it doesn’t have a 24 hour reception. That’s the only reason. We had a wonderful and pleasant stay in a great hotel with great staff.

Great staff, amazing location, room was small but liked the bathrobes and box of tissues.
