Hotel Carlton

Bilbao's grand old hotel on Plaza Moyúa, for one small dog

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A five-star on Plaza Moyúa, the elliptical square at the heart of the Ensanche, run by Aranzazu Hoteles. It's the city's classic grand hotel, traditional in style rather than design-led. It suits people who want a traditional five-star in the centre with a small dog.

Why it's in the collection

The hotel sends dog guests to a park about 300 metres away, and the Parque de Doña Casilda, with its fenced off-lead area, is an easy walk down Calle Elcano.

Best suited for

One dog under 10 kg, and it can't be left alone in the room.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Dogs stay in a limited number of standard rooms, so ask for a pet room when you book. They can be in the lobby, corridors and passageways on a lead, with you. The dog must stay with you at all times, and the room is cleaned while the dog is out.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
