Staff very friendly. Very expensive for location and comfort. While rather centrally located, the area does not seem safe, which is unusual in itself in Spain. The room was clean but very simple and had some bars in front of the window. Breakfast is served in a different location.

Room good and staff friendly and helpful. Well situated for all the main sights BUT the junkies, drug pushers and illegal street vendors on the street outside was quite unacceptable. I have travelled quite extensively in my long life and have stayed in fairly rough areas and have never felt nervous, but this time I was!!! Has anyone from Expedia actually checked out this place?

Good value for money. Single room with en-suite had all the basics needed. Staff were friendly and helpful. People not used to cities might find the location and vibe of the streets around the accommodation slightly off-putting, but nothing to be scared of. Location is in fact very handy. Breakfast in a nearby bar is nice.

Student residence open to non students.

Fairly basic student accommodation with limited bedding and toiletries, no TV in the room. Nevertheless the staff were super helpful and location was really good for old town and bars. Room was clean and had everything I needed.

This property is a student residence. I stayed in a double room with 2 twin beds. It was small but we didn’t need much room since we were only there for the weekend. The bathroom and beds were clean. There was only a top sheet on the bed, no blankets which I didn’t love but the room wasn’t cold so it was okay. There is also a tiny kitchen with plates and a few cooking utensils and a microwave if you want to reheat something and a fridge for storage. There are also a lot of areas to hang out outside of the room and some table games like ping pong and pool. To get from the center of town to the hotel isn’t bad since Bilbao isn’t huge. There’s about 3 minutes of walking where the location doesn’t feel the safest. If you go the opposite direction though it starts to feel more unsafe. Getting into the hotel isn’t a problem, but if you go the other direction it’s a little sketchy. Overall a good experience. The staff were really kind and helpful and they gave us coupons for free breakfast at a small cafe down the street where we could get a coffee and a sandwich or piece of tortilla that was delicious. If you’re only going to Bilbao for the weekend and need a cheap place to stay this is a good option, but probably not the best for more than 3 nights.

The room was OK. The TV was side ways as the wall arm holding it was falling off the wall. I had to place a cushion under the TV to have it a bit straight. Breakfast was included, but in a cafeteria about 10 minutes walk away from the actual hotel. Breakfast wasn't good, it wasn't worth the walk. The area was a bit dodgy. Not recommended for women alone to walk around in the evenings. For how the room was, the area and the weirdness of the breakfast situation, it was definitely pricey. One to avoid.

The balcony area was poor. It was dirty and on the ground floor so no views besides the back of the surrounding buildings. The area around the property felt unsafe. The street was cordoned off by police one day due to unrest. The room did not feel particularly clean when we first arrived. Clearly had been cleaned in a hurry. Apart from that the property was walkable from all major attractions.
