Pros
  • You'll be in an ideal location just down the street from the main train station and within walking distance from main sites like the Guggenheim Museum and Old Town.
  • The hotel's interior is very modern, but the exterior is quite historical, as the building was once a theater.
  • One big perk is the outdoor terrace, where you can enjoy your breakfast, a drink, or a snack, complete with cozy furnishings.
  • There's a private car park, which is nice if you have a car, that has charging points for electric vehicles.
  • Enjoy contemporary, spacious rooms with perks like sound systems, Bluetooth connection, and pillow menus.
  • As a unique amenity, the hotel has a casino.
Cons
  • Though there's a daily breakfast service, the hotel's restaurant is only open on weekends for other meals.
  • The contemporary style of the rooms might not appeal to all.

Authenticity

Sercotel Coliseo Bilbao, a former theater turned 4-star hotel, combines modernity, elegance, and comfort, reflecting the avant-garde spirit of the city. You can enjoy a beautiful facade and an outdoor terrace that reflect the building's past, plus a few other historical elements in the lobby and eating areas.

Location

Situated in the heart of Bilbao, Sercotel Coliseo is sandwiched between a pedestrian street and a grand avenue lined with beautiful architecture. You'll be just five minutes from the city's primary train station and a 10-minute walk from the historic Casco Viejo (Old Town). Getting to the Guggenheim Museum via the riverfront and Zubizuri Bridge takes about 25 minutes. 

Rooms & Bathrooms

The 97 rooms at Sercotel Coliseo Bilbao feature a modern style that feels quite contemporary rather than homey and cozy. All have white linens, desks, and bathrooms with toiletries.
