Hotel Tayko Bilbao

Hotel Tayko Bilbao is a wonderful modern hotel in the heart of the old city centre of Bilbao. The location serves as a great starting point to restaurants and all important places to see in the centre, as well as being relatively close to the highway. They don't have parking on site but they do have their own paid parking garage a couple of meters away across the bridge which was very useful. Our complements to the hotel staff which was one of the most professional we've ever seen - they all spoke perfect english, were polite, always said hello and always ready to help (they even accommodated us with an early check-in). The rooms were modern and well equipped. For breakfast you have the option to order one main course, one juice, one coffee, one fruit and one dessert. The quality was great and the presentation was amazing as well although the portions were on the smaller side. A plus is that they have vegan options (a quite big wrap).

Wow! The interior of this hotel is amazing. Stained glass and original factory walls. It also has a michelin starred restaurant ( above our budget!) but we enjoyed superb breakfasts. Staff were very kind and friendly. It's a few steps from some excellent pinxtos bars in the Old Town. Bilbao itself is a wonderful city. Loved our time here.

If you are visiting Bibao, Spain and looking for an excellent hotel, look no more. We were simply charmed by this awe-inspiring hotel. It was quite fascinating to see how priceless old world remnants were entwined with comfortable modern spaces. When you first enter the grand archway and pass through the heavy wooden doors, you step into an enduring, yet flawless world. Exposed limestone walls, aged concrete beams and weathered stained glass windows can all be viewed from the glass elevators as you are whisked away to your comfy, immaculate room. Notably, the hotel receptionist was amazing. She was very pleasant, kind and accommodating. She sympathetically told us that we had accidentally made reservations for the wrong dates through an online booking site. Moreover, she wasn’t sure if we would be reimbursed, but assured us that the issue would be resolved by the next day. As our anxiety started to rise, she nonchalantly, with a big smile,handed us a glass of champagne and worked on finding us an open room for the night. Her mañana philosophy was incredibly soothing. Not only did this lovely lady upgrade our room, but as promised our future booking was cancelled and refunded. Ultimately, the exceptional customer service, the spotless comfortable rooms enhanced our experience in Bilbao.
