Hotel Miro

Very nice, quiet and convenient accommodations, located just down the street from the Bilbao Guggenheim. Easy access to numerous restaurants (including those offering pintxos) and shopping. Delicious breakfast to start off the day. Front desk and concierge were both very helpful. Highly recommended!

The hotel is in a fantastic spot, right across from the Guggenheim. Unfortunately, Room 21 was disappointing—dark, with an opaque window facing an inner courtyard. This wasn’t a last-minute booking, so I expected more. I’d suggest avoiding courtyard facing rooms, and for the same price, it’s worth looking at other hotel options nearby.

We were in room 83, which I believe is on the top floor. It was very clean, nice view, nice bank of windows that could be opened. Good location across from the Guggenheim also nice area for walks around the neighborhood. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was nice. Breakfast was typical of European hotels--nothing special but nice. We did not experience the traffic or other noise that other reviews have mentioned. Maybe because we were on the top floor. Our room had a couch that was pretty much unusable because there was no light nearby for reading.

We stayed here only one night on our way to San Sebastián. As others have mentioned, the location was great to visit the Guggenheim. We had a lovely view of the park and Guggenheim. Room was clean and nicely appointed. What stood out for us was the staff. We were having issues finding an available bus to San Sebastián. The front desk staffs knowledge of the system was invaluable and they were able to find what we needed. Thanks again!

We went to Bilbao to visit the Guggenheim and Hotel Miro was the perfect place to stay with its location directly across the street from the museum. It exceeded our expectations in every other way too. A small hotel with a jewel of a lobby with comfy leather chairs and a cozy honor bar where we tasted Basque wines and relaxed after hours at the museum. The room was well laid out and had a big bathroom with excellent Moulton Brown toiletries. I can’t say enough about the delicious, plentiful breakfast and the delightful Josu who greeted us by name each morning. Local breads, jams, cheeses, ham, and cakes; special toasts with avocado or tomatoes; eggs cooked to order; and real newspapers to linger over! My only quibble is that our museum view room, #54, did have a view if we twisted into a corner and leaned awkwardly. But we were happy to do that as the museum is magnificent. I’ll finish by gushing over the staff. Ahead of our arrival, they sent us restaurant suggestions and made us a reservation for our choice, which was excellent. When we had trouble getting bus tickets, they navigated the confusing website for us. Everything was done with warmth and sincerity. Hotel Miro is a real gem.
