We went to this hotel around Easter and asked for a room we could see the processions from. They gave us perfect room on the first floor with large windows and it was great. We could sit in bed and watch the procession leave the church at 5.30am. The reception staff were so friendly and helpful. On checking out the... More

We booked a room on our honeymoon for one night at the Tryp Arenal. We were on our way from San Sebastian and had a very early flight. We arrived in the evening and were extremely dissatisfied to the point where we made the decision not to stay and find other arrangements. Parking, although they had advertised local public parking,... More

The hotel is perfectly located, and was a little hesistant initially about the breakfast consisting of two tapas, however a hot spanish cheese and ham toastie wasn't too rich for morning taste, also had pastries fritatta and omelette.

I was actually away for a stag weekend which was a pity on the one hand - Bilbao is a lovely town and it would have been nice to see more than just the drinking establishments! The hotel is well placed on the edge of the old town, my room actually had a view across the river which was beautiful.... More
