Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Zenit Bilbao impresses guests with its modern and spacious rooms, particularly highlighting the excellent shower facilities. Its location proves convenient, with a tram stop right outside the hotel, making it easy to reach the city center. Many find the walk to attractions like the Guggenheim or the Pinxos bars enjoyable, though it's about 15-20 minutes. Some guests felt the breakfast could offer more variety, but overall, the hotel provides a comfortable and well-situated base for exploring Bilbao.

poor breakfast limited variety

The room was very clean and it provided all necessities.

The breakfast was quite poor with little variety. I found the cooked food unappetizing and some items seemed like they were not of the best quality. For a hotel of this supposed standard , I expected more than just the same marmalade every day for a week.
