“A good base to go exploring”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

When we first arrived at this hotel it was late at night in July this year we thought the worst as the hotel is next to a couple of sex shops and at first it seemed a bit seedy. But after a good nights sleep the next day we were happy to see that the location is great. Supermarkets and shops very close by. Rooms clean enough a bit shabby, the hallways and corridors are in desp need of refurbishment.

Our room was right at the very end of the corridor and it seemed to be adjascent to the residential block next door. When anyone flushed the chain on the toilet in the next block the waste pipes were directly above our room so ALL DAY AND NIGHT there was the sound of running water. This meant we had disturbed sleep. At 100€ a night this was unaceptable however every hotel in town was full due to the BBK music festival so we had to stay there.

Good location but shabby & noisy

Room Tip: Try to get a room away from the residential block next door or else you will hear toilet chains flus...

“Good value hotel, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

This is a no frills hotel, with friendly staff, who were keen to make sure I made the most of my trip to the city. Although not in the city centre, it is only a short walk away, and as a single female traveller, I felt perfectly safe in the area. There is also a very conveniently located nearby.

“Good value modest hotel.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 March 2011

person found this review helpful

I stayed here for 3 nights with 2 friends. We had a friendly welcome.
We all had single rooms. They were clean and had the usual facilities, including a small bath with plenty of hot water.
Initially we thought our rooms were cold until we realised we could switch on the radiators; perhaps we should have been told this on checking in.
My room seemed rather noisy the first night. , it sounded like lift doors opening and closing., but the hotel has no lift. I think there are apartments above the hotel, (it is in a multi-storey building ) and I may have been hearing their lift. My friend in the next room didn't hear it.
The continental-style breakfast,cost 6 euros. There was excellent coffee, freshly made for each guest, fruit, juice, cereals, fresh rolls and croissants, and various sweet cakes ,etc, in packets.
We walked to the Guggenheim the first morning, but later found there is a Metro station quite near, at Plaza de Zabalburu.
Despite doing a lot of research beforehand on the internet I found it difficult to work out the routes of the metro lines, buses, and trams in relation to the geography of the city, there needs to be a much better tourist map than any I could find. But the staff in the Information offices were very helpful, and in fact we were offered help everywhere, by station staff, and passers-by when they saw us puzzling over maps.
We were told we did not have to vacate our rooms till noon on our last day, and we were able to leave our bags there until we had to leave for the airport. .

“nice staff but smelly room”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2011

The hotel is good for the budget. It has wi-fi and the breakfast was OK.
It is not located in the best area, you need to walk for 15-20minutes to reach the very centre of Bilbao.
Though the staff were very friendly and helpful,
the non smoking room we stayed did smell like tobacco. The walls are yellow/brown and so was the carpet. Not very hygienic/fresh I would say.
The hotel needs a renovation.
I would not stay there again.

“The day crew pretty good, night crew SUCKS”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2011

It is far too expensive for what you get, it's a glorified hostel. Location is pretty good, but the staff is not attentive at all. If I had to do it again, I would not stay here.
