Hostal Nersan II

Eccezionale qualità prezzo

Adequate room with decent ensuite and comfortable bed but no tea/coffee making facilities and no breakfast available at the hotel. Receptionist refused to book me a taxi for 9.30 the day of my departure stating that he would not be on reception until 10. When I suggested he did it the evening before he just shrugged and said he could not. Very strong smell of cleaning fluid after room had been serviced.

Excellent location - nearby market, lots of convenient restaurants, metro, stores. Small room, some traffic noise, WiFi good. A little difficult to locate.

When I stay in Madrid, I usually end up staying in the centre of the city right next to Puerta del Sol. But on my last visit, I found myself growing tired of fighting through the crowds as I made my way back to my accommodation. So after a quick search, I found this place. Situated in Plaza de Chamberí, just a short walk from the nearest metro station at Iglesia (Line 1) and close to Bilbao (Lines 1 and 4) and Alonso Martinez (Lines 4,5 and 10). It is a great area for dining out, with plenty of cafés in the immediate vicinity for your desayuno and plenty of other dining options around Bilbao. The accommodation itself is not flashy, but the room was extremely comfortable. Perhaps the lack of storage space would cause problems on a longer stay, but for a couple of nights, it's perfect. Also make sure to visit Anden 0, an old metro station which has been converted into a museum, located just outside the entrance. Admission is free and it's well worth a look!

They should provide some toiletries in the bathroom such as soap, toothpaste so on and so forth. Also, the one managing the reception should be bilingual ( know English to deal better with international tourists)
