Great way to close our 25th Anniversary celebrations
We spent a week recently between San Sebastian and Bilbao. In Bilbao we stayed in the Grand Hotel Catalonia. Easily one of the best hotels we have stayed in. From Check -In to Check-Out everything was fantastic. We treated ourselves to suite and stayed in room 710. Spectacular. We would highly recommend this hotel.

Friendly efficient Hotel
This is our second visit to Catalonia Gran Via (Bilbao) and we are impressed with the whole team and the atmosphere. The Hotel is in an excellent location and you can walk to all the City's attractions quite easily (Guggenheim / Old Town etc). The Gran Via feels very safe as does Bilbao in general. You can reach the hotel from the Airport via the Bus Shuttle in 15-20mins and it's only 3 euros. It drops you outside so worth saving on the taxi fare. The hotel staff are very welcoming and speak excellent English. We booked a Junior Suite for 5 days and the room (117) was very nice but was directly over the restaurant area so from 7am every morning the breakfast guests would wake us up. It was quite intrusive and stopped any major lie-in. But apart from that, the room was a good size, excellent Wifi, easy to cast Netflix/Prime to the TV. The double shower was lovely and the bed was huge. It was cleaned everyday to a high standard (make sure you put the sign on the door handle). We ate breakfast once which had a good choice and variety. We used the SPA which was fun and worth the entry fee. We drank regularly at the hotel bar where the staff were fast, friendly and efficient. The bar lounge has a nice atmosphere and you can see the world walk by. We had a small issue when we locked ourselves out of the room safe and the management had it fixed within minutes. The reception staff booked us restaurant tables and taxis and made the whole the stay very hassle free. We really like Bilbao and we'll stay at the Gran Via again when we return.

Another excellent stay
This was our third stay in this hotel and it was excellent again. Our room was clean and quiet, all the staff we encountered were friendly, helpful and professional. My husband used the gym and although it is small it has everything he needed. We will be back!!
