Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Casual Gurea Bilbao Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Casual Gurea enjoys a superb location right in the heart of Bilbao, making it easy to explore the city, with shops, bars, and the river all within a short walk. Many guests found the rooms spacious and clean, some featuring incredible balcony views, especially those overlooking the cathedral. A convenient lounge area with a vending machine and a shared kitchen with a fridge are appreciated amenities, though some guests have noted noise due to the hotel being located within a building with other residents. Keyless entry adds to the convenience of coming and going.

amazing central stay!

keyless entrygreat locationhelpful stafffaulty fan

i loved the keyless entry to both the main entrance and my room! this made coming and going super easy and i didn't have to worry about carrying a key. the location was also very nice (right in the thick of things!) with cafes, bars, and shops literally steps from the front door. the staff was helpful and friendly at all times, always ready to assist with any questions.

the ceiling fan in my room wasn't working properly, and there was only one accessible plug socket, so i couldn't use my own fan while charging my phone overnight.

Location

10/10

the hotel boasts a fantastic location in the heart of the old town (it is very lively!). you're surrounded by numerous pintxo bars, so grabbing a bite is never a problem, and the central position makes exploring really straightforward.

Dining

9/10

while the hotel itself doesn't have a full restaurant, a common room on the third floor offers a microwave and fridge for guest use. this lets you prepare your own meals and store snacks, really convenient.

Service

10/10

the reception staff were genuinely helpful (always with a smile!). they readily stored my luggage when i arrived early and were quick to provide local information, made settling in easy and enjoyable.

Rooms

8/10

My room included a huge window that i could open for fresh air, and a ceiling fan was built into the ceiling light (a great space saver!). the bathroom featured a generously sized shower. I slept soundly each night.

Adequate Stay with Some Issues

poor insulationno air conditioning

The noise insulation proved insufficient. Sounds from neighboring rooms were easily audible, disrupting sleep. The absence of air conditioning also created discomfort, especially during warmer days. I found this lack of climate control quite inconvenient.

The room was spacious for one person. everything was clean. i felt safe there. It was great! i also loved the superb location. Everything was close by.

i found a lack of clear communication that this hotel is on the 3rd floor of an apartment building. the nearest parking is a 10-15 minute walk, hauling luggage.
