Fodor's Expert Review Hesperia Zubialde
C. de la Ventosa 34, Bilbao, Basque Country, 48013, Spain
Overlooking the San Mamés soccer stadium (known as "La Catedral") and with views of the Nervión River, this former schoolhouse is just a 15-minute walk through the lush Parque de Doña Casilda gardens from the Museo de Bellas Artes and the Guggenheim. Rooms are contemporary in style. The restaurant, El Botxo, serves carefully prepared Basque and international cuisine.
PROS
- views over the Nervión
- good for hiking beside the river
- handy to the tramway and the metro
CONS
- when national-league soccer games erupt in the nearby San Mamés stadium, the neighborhood is bedlam
- a long hike (or short metro ride) from the casco viejo
- uninspired decor
