Hotels near San Mamés Stadium

Aupa Hi! Welcome to Bilbao, the city that decades ago shed its dark industrial skin to become one of the most vibrant and modern cities in northern Spain. You don't believe it? A few days in our hotel Arenal Bilbao and we will have proved it to you. Don't hesitate and drop by reception. Ask us anything you want to know about the city and what to do during your stay. You know, there's nothing like insider tips to really get to know a place and get off the beaten track.  

At our 3-star hotel we know that there are as many types of trips as there are guests who visit us. That's why we want you to experience Bilbao the way you want to, and if that includes, for example, sharing the experience with your pet, then so be it. At the Sercotel Arenal Bilbao Hotel, dogs and cats are welcome. All you have to do is let us know before you arrive so that we can prepare the welcome they deserve. Whether you come with your dog, as a couple, with friends, as a family or on your own, you will soon realise that the capital of Biscay can be explored on foot. Among other things, thanks to the location of our hotel: right in the city centre.  

At the gates of the Old Town, and a five-minute walk from the train station, our Sercotel Arenal Bilbao awaits you with 36 spacious, bright and modern rooms distributed over the 6 floors of a beautiful building, one of those that you see and want to enter. In fact, our location is so strategic that you won't need a car to get to the best places in Bilbao. So, don't worry and park it in the public car park just in front of our hotel. You will enjoy a special rate for staying at the Sercotel Arenal Bilbao. From there, the Seven Streets of the Old Town open up before you to go shopping, admire monuments and sample the Basque cuisine that has become famous all over the world. 

We know it's going to be difficult, but we ask you to hold back a little, to leave room for what awaits you the next day. A hearty breakfast buffet to recharge your batteries for another day of leisure plans or business meetings. Because yes, if you are here for work, we also have a space for you: our business corner is the ideal place for those informal meetings or to concentrate on your business.

The heart of Bilbao beats strongly in the waters of its estuary, in the Seven Streets that formed the basis of the old city; in a Guggenheim Museum that has become a world icon of modern art and in our Sercotel Ayala, a 4-star hotel located in the heart of the capital of Biscay. In fact, from the Ayala Hotel, it's only a 15-minute walk to admire the iconic floral sculpture of "Puppy", the giant West Highland Terrier that welcomes you to the Guggenheim. You won't have to walk far to get to the Old Town either. About 7 minutes separate you from its streets and the pintxos in its bars. We will talk to you about the city and everything you mustn't miss when you arrive at the Sercotel Ayala Bilbao. Don't be in a hurry, our reception is staffed 24 hours a day. Feel free to ask questions. Also everything you need to know about the hotel.  

For example, the breakfast times. It is buffet style and is served in our cosy café. It is so comprehensive and copious that your real dilemma will be where to start, how to continue and what to repeat. If you have to leave very early, ask us to prepare an early bird coffee for you. Because yes, we know that the reason for your visit is likely to be work-related. That's why, in addition to that early morning coffee, we offer you a free Wi-Fi connection throughout the hotel and a magnificent lounge where you can hold meetings, talks, lectures or small events. And at the end of the day, you will feel that you are in the perfect place for your trip when we suggest you relax, after hours of sightseeing or work, with a drink in our bar.  

However, if you have come with your dog, remember to save some energy to take him for a walk. Just a stone's throw from our Sercotel Ayala Bilbao you will find several green areas and parks where you can run around. You can leave the slowing down for when you get back to your room. As a good pet-friendly hotel, everything will be ready for both of you to rest. If you got here by train, don't worry about getting up early. There'll be no need. The station is only a 5-minute walk away.

For some time now, the waters of the Bilbao estuary haven’t reflected an industrial and frankly run-down city, but rather an avant-garde, clean, pleasant and vibrant place. To enjoy it as it deserves, there’ll be nothing better than setting up your base camp in a place in keeping with this modernity and elegance: the Coliseo Hotel. Located in the city centre, about ten minutes’ walk from the Old Town area, the Sercotel Coliseo Bilbao is the ideal place for forgetting about your car and visiting the many wonders of Bilbao on foot. Don’t worry about it; park it at our private parking facilities equipped with charging points for electric vehicles. Because we’re a hotel committed to sustainability and the environment. (cannot be reserved)

We begin our mornings here with the magnificent breakfast served in the cafeteria. You can also keep track of the news with our free press service. At our four-star hotel in the centre of Bilbao you’ll feel like James Bond or the great Mata-Hari. Put on your finest clothes for a drink on our wonderful terrace. Located on the second floor, here you can start your day with breakfast, take a break from your activity for a mid-afternoon snack, have a quiet dinner or end the evening with a toast in the moonlight. Then you can try your luck in our casino. A classy plan for Bilbao. We also organize private events in our restaurant hosting a maximum of 65 people. 

All the 97 rooms at the Sercotel Coliseo Bilbao Hotel boast class and comfort and they’re ideal for travel with your partner, friends or family or business trips.
