Hotel muy bonito y en excelentes condiciones. A pesar de no estar en la ciudad, ofrece fácil movimiento a la misma usando el metro de Bilbao, con la estación situada a menos de 15 minutos caminando. Los alrededores tienen opciones de comida rápida y almacenes, aunque el área residencial cercana es un poco obscura

Where to start? Ok...we had several choices for hotels in Bilbao but chose Hotel Puerta for 3 nights because their main selling feature was a functional outdoor pool, which my daughters wanted to use, especially since the weather was nice. The pool was in great condition but closed to public 'until end of June'. No reason given. We could not cancel or shorten our stay because it was booked via Expedia, apparently. Parking is terrible. There's no loading area in front of the lobby and directions send you to the back in a nearby parking area. Parking itself requires a lengthy route back to the front street, a 2 minute drive to a roundabout, doubling back, taking another roundabout well past the hotel, and then making a left down a back street to the parkade, which is 17 Euros/day. Make sure you give them your licence plate (even if a rental) because they will make your return to have the privilege of parking with them. They issue a piece of paper with a scannable code for the length of your stay -it's far more complicated than it needs to be. Staff were not helpful at all and were mostly rude. It was as if we were an inconvenience and they forgot they work in the service industry. Front desk folks would pass responsibilities to others rather than taking care. I asked for a space to work since the rooms are small and they said I could only rent a space for 50 Euros. Expect to pay for absolutely everything and expect terrible service, especially if you speak English.

The drains in the shower/bath stink! The whole room smells of toilet/drain smell. The drains in the shower and bath are clean so it must be the central drains of the hotel. I had to stuff towels down the drain to stop the room stinking. Also the hot breakfast was cold! Every day, cold. There are no hot plates under the hot food and the heat lamps above are too high. I complained one day, the chef made me fresh hot eggs but it was the same the day after and day after that (stayed for 4 nights). These things need sorting out, its not acceptable for a 4 star hotel. The staff were very friendy and helpful which was great. The hotel was nice apart from the 2 things i just mentioned. Parking is 15 euro a night which is not mentioned on the listing!! So be aware. However, parking outside is free but you'll be lucky to find a space so its worth paying it in my experience.

Although the hotel is about 10km from downtown Bilbao, we had a car and could drive back and forth. What I thought was uncomfortable was the sliding glass bathroom door, right next to the headboard of the bed. One person couldn’t go to the bathroom and turn on the light without getting the other person fully awake. Zero provacy

Short stay on the outskirts of Bilbao
We enjoyed our two night stay at Hotel Puerta de Bilbao. It was a good base to explore the city. Our triple room on the seventh floor was comfortable, and having a bath and separate shower cubicle was useful. The reception team were friendly and helpful. Our daughter loved the pool.

Good choice
Helpful staff, east check-in even tho we were early, also facilitated an extended checkout til 2pm as ferry was delayed. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom with full bath plus separate shower. Basic toiletries but adequate. Good location if shopping’s your thing, IKEA, Decathlon, El Corte Ingles….& lots more. We had paid for onsite parking but there’s lots of free parking behind the hotel.
