This is an excellent hotel in a quiet part of the city. But the best part about it is definately the spa on the ground floor. I don't think I have ever been so relaxed in all my life. outstanding. more

My friend and I got a good deal on lastminute.com. The Avenida is good value - not a huge amount of atmosphere in the hotel public areas but it is well situtated, clean and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had a couple of facials downstairs which were excellent and great value. The room was adequate but... more

Our stay at the Barcelo Avenida was very pleasant. We were a little disappointed with the closure of the pool downstairs, but we still managed to enjoy our stay. Our room was on the small side, nicely decorated, and perfectly adequate with a spacious bathroom area. I say 'area' because it was an open plan bathroom with no separate door... more

Pretty high standard business type hotel. Good location , close to metro stop and a nice downhill walk into the city centre. Good staff and comfortable rooms with good level of decoration. Definetly recommended more

My friend and I booked a late deal through lastminute.com for flights and five nights at this hotel. We upgraded the room to a bio2 as it included breakfast then.

It was definetely worth paying (only) 7 euros (!) more a night than for an avarage hotel room elsewhere in Bilbao. Room was spacious with a window wall between... more

I am having a great time in Bilbao, I must admit, but I really enjoyed this property, so I decided to write a review on it before leaving. It is my first review so I do not know if I will do it very well but just wanted to point out this is an excellent choice for anybody visiting this... more

Very nice hotel for a very reasonable price. Extremely comfortable beds and great bathrooms. We were able to use the internet in the lobby free of charge. The breakfast buffet was great in the morning, as we tend to need more to eat than just a pastry to get our day going. They fruit, yogurt, meats, cheeses, and made to... more
