Based on recent reviews

Holiday Inn Express Bilbao Airport is often chosen for its convenient location a short distance from the airport, offering a free shuttle service until 22:45 and starting again at 5 am. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, and some rooms even feature a bathtub.

i found some aspects needing improvement. the bathroom lacked proper ventilation and felt quite small. the bar service was slow, as only one person managed both the bar and check-in. the selection of items at the bar was disappointing and overpriced.
