Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryHotel Meliá Bilbao, situated in the vibrant center of Bilbao, has received mixed reviews regarding its five-star rating, facilities and services. While some guests praise the hotel as deserving of its five-star status and highlight its beautiful modern design, clean rooms and delightful luxury accommodations, others feel it falls short of the mark.

The amenities and overall comfort have been described as fitting a five-star hotel with impressive facilities and an exceptional breakfast offering. The view from the rooms and the stylish, classic decor adds to the hotel's allure. It remains one of the best options in Bilbao for travelers looking for a luxurious stay with family-friendly breakfasts noted as a highlight.

However, there are consistent remarks about the need for renovation and modernization to maintain its five-star status with some guests identifying it as more akin to a four-star establishment. Issues such as broken elevators, outdated furniture and minor but noticeable maintenance problems were pointed out as detractors from the luxury experience.

Despite commendable features like luxury amenities and great facilities corresponding to its category, recurring complaints about the overall standard—specifically the expectations of a five-star service—suggest there are areas in need of significant improvement. Observations of stale food offerings and insufficient staff at the reception during busy times indicate that the hotel may be struggling to keep up with the high standards it strives to represent.

In conclusion, while Hotel Meliá Bilbao showcases some elements befitting a five-star hotel, several regular and significant issues need to be addressed to meet the expectations fully associated with such a rating.

Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryThe Radisson Collection Bilbao has left mixed impressions on its guests regarding its status as a five-star hotel. On the positive side, it boasts a prime location, luxurious decoration and a spa facility that many appreciated. Some guests felt that the overall experience was better than many five-star hotels, praising the staff, comfort and specific experiences like the rooftop terrace. There are moments where everything aligns to create a true five-star experience worth the price and quality.

However, several reviewers indicated that the hotel falls short of five-star standards in various areas. Many noted that the cleanliness and housekeeping services were insufficient. The breakfast, though decent, was seen as limited and sometimes slow, not living up to expectations for a five-star establishment. Other common criticisms included the lack of valet or luggage service, no room service and the poor value for money. Specific details, such as the absence of shower caps and issues with room amenities, also detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, automated messages and the distant parking situation were highlighted as areas needing improvement.

In summary, while the Radisson Collection Bilbao offers a luxurious environment and certain five-star qualities, there are significant gaps in service and amenities that prevent it from fully meeting the high standards typically associated with a five-star hotel.
