Pros
  • The hotel is right on the edge of the city's Old Town and a short walk to the river through a greenspace, so you'll be close to Bilbao's top sights and eateries.
  • Enjoy a stylish, modern design that honors the city and region with local artwork.
  • The hotel's fun and unique amenities include vintage arcade games, live DJ sessions, and an incredible rooftop terrace with panoramic city views. 
  • You'll stay cozy in rooms that blend elegance, style, and a comfy, homey feel with warm colors and jewel tones.
  • Some of the higher-tiered rooms have balconies that wrap around the side of the building. 
  • Grab meals at the on-site eatery and sip drinks on the rooftop or at the Clash Bar with its avant-garde design. 
Cons
  • The rooms with balconies are much more expensive than the others, and there are only a few options available, so book early if you prefer some outdoor space. 

Authenticity

NYX Hotel Bilbao is an ultra-stylish and modern hotel that showcases the artistic atmosphere of Bilbao. The hotel is adorned with works by local artists, giving you a glimpse of the city's vibrant culture. The lobby perfectly exemplifies this captivating blend of old and new, featuring vintage arcade games alongside colorful contemporary artwork. 

Location

You'll be right in the city's historic Old Town, on a slightly busy intersection across from the river and Arenal Park. This setting gives you easy access to top city sites. Plaza Nuevo is around the corner, and the Bilbao Cathedral is a three-minute walk. Getting to the Guggenheim Museum takes a little longer (about 25 minutes), but the walk follows the riverfront and passes other Iconic landmarks like the Zubizuri and the Puppy and Spider statues. You'll also find plenty of gastronomic experiences nearby, from pintxos to traditional Basque cuisine.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The hotel offers three room categories: the comfortable Down to Earth room suitable for couples or small groups, the spacious Space room for families, and the impressive NYX Suite with a terrace and stunning city views. All rooms feature modern, stylish designs with air conditioning, free WiFi, a work desk, and a coffee machine. These amenities ensure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Amenities

The hotel provides an on-site gym and occasional live DJ sessions. During the summer, you can enjoy panoramic views of Bilbao from the rooftop terrace while sipping a cocktail and watching the sunset. Wheelchair users will find four rooms specifically designed to be accessible and ramps and elevators that make it easy to get around. 

Family-Friendliness

NYX Hotel Bilbao certainly caters more to an adult demographic with its vibrant DJ nights and trendy rooftop bar, but families with children are welcome to stay. Infants under two can sleep in baby cribs that are provided for free, and some larger rooms can fit a family of three or four. However, you won’t find any amenities catering to children. 

Other Highlights

NYX Hotel Bilbao offers a range of unique dining experiences, like the delicious breakfast buffet and the Clash Gastro Restaurant, with its extensive menu. The Clash Bar has an elegant and warm atmosphere with an avant-garde design, offering fun cocktails and drinks.
