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?

The place INSIDE. It’s ok. The rooms are super tiny and old but clean. The receptionist is super nice and friendly BUT: it is a HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, FRIGHTENING neighborhood!!!!! We went back in before dark because it is SO SCARY. Then, it was drug and prostitution activity all night long. With noisy explicit voices, Even gun shots. Not for kids!!!!!!! Never been in a place like this in my life. ( and I am 60 years old ) I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place.. The ONLY good thing of the whole experience was the lady at the front desk. Kind, helpful, sweet and professional. I felt for her to have to deal with the rest of the facility.

First trip to Spain

We had a great stay. Accommodation spot on and the breakfast was great. Didnt seem to be a good area to stay but was ok. Friendly reminders from local shop keepers to keep safe from pick pockets. Great for access to everywhere. We walked but plenty of buses. Would use again.

great place .shame about location

the place itself was nice and good to have a kitchen . I can just fault he noise as the walls are like thin paper. However the location is not great and i was not feeling safe coming back on my own at night , also ask for a non street facing room and it will be hopefully quieter .

This property is not suitable for any tourist. 1. Over 35C for the 3 nights we were there, we didn’t get any sleep. No A/Conditioning they did supply us a small fan. Our room was at 522, the higher floor and the room is very small with 2 windows. We did open both windows for ventilation but honestly was not enough. The noise coming from the traffic and the people around the neighbourhood was very noisy. 2. Our bed was not clean with some dirts and hairs on the bed sheets. Poor hygiene and cleaning. We did offer to change the bedsheets ourselves. 3. Location, the property is situated quite away from the city over 3 km away and not the best part of the neighbourhood. Every night we had to walk passed the square with lots of ethnic groups from Northern Africa looking at us. Numbers of police cars always around the area. The last night, we saw 2 police stopped in front of the square and 4 police officers rushed to arrest a person to the ground. Overall, this place is not safe for tourists nor for the students. 4. The breakfast is not in the same premises, about 1 km away at the local restaurant. orange juice, 1 cup of coffee and 1 piece whatever available on display on shelves. 5. Don’t be deceived by the pictures on the advertisement, the room is very small. Not much to offer even they advertise for a kitchen. No kettle. Only 1 small saucepan to boil water for hot drink. 6. Cleaners weren’t there to clear your rubbish ever and change your wet towels. I personally recommend it.

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.
