Getting around

3-minute walk to Bilbao la Concordia

Just a 3-minute walk to the nearest stop.

Our take

Petit Palace Arana is a hotel in Bilbao. Breakfast is served Monday to Friday from 7:00 to 10:30 and weekends/holidays from 8:00 to 11:00. Book this base for central walkability to Bilbao la Concordia and solid modern essentials; look elsewhere if your priority is quiet suburban buffer zones or large-scale private grounds.

Positioned at Bidebarrieta Kalea, 2, this heritage setting offers luggage storage, Sunday late check-outs, and quick walks to Santiago Cathedral and the historic centre.
