Sercotel Arenal Bilbao

Sercotel Arenal Bilbao is a three-star hotel at Calle Fueros 2 in the Casco Viejo, the old town of Bilbao in Spain's Basque Country. The hotel is next to the Arenal promenade and the old town streets, about 1.0 km in a straight line from Plaza Moyúa, and sits close to the Teatro Arriaga, the Plaza Nueva and the Siete Calles. The Cathedral of Santiago and the Mercado de la Ribera are a short walk away, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao can be reached in about 25 minutes on foot along the estuary. The Casco Viejo is Bilbao's oldest district, founded in the Middle Ages, and the area around Calle Fueros combines historic buildings with a busy mix of shops, bars and pintxo taverns. Because the hotel is next to the Arenal, it is also close to the Bilbao-Abando and Casco Viejo metro connections and to bus stops serving the airport. Listings show double and twin rooms in the mid-range price band, with rates typically between about €85 and €200 per night depending on the season. Breakfast is normally served at the hotel, but the main appeal for dining is the location: the old town offers some of the densest concentrations of pintxo bars and Basque restaurants in the city, so many guests eat out for most meals. The service character is leisure-oriented and practical, suited to couples, friends and independent travellers who want to explore on foot. The hotel can be reached on +34 944 151 407 or through the Sercotel website for current rates and availability. As the area is lively on weekend evenings, visitors who prefer quiet may wish to ask about rooms on higher floors or away from the street.
