Nice clean property with amazing cleaners. Only issue is the check-in policy is a nightmare (we were waiting about ages and I had to walk to the head office because they didn't send me the code). I wasn't a fan of checkout being so early but other than that it done the job.

Comfortable Base In Casco Viejo
Located in the Casco Viejo area on a busy bar street. The hotel is reached via some steep stairs, so maybe not the best for anybody with mobility issues. The rooms are comfortable, simple but modern design, and very clean. Also, very good value for money.

Excellent value for money. The entrance staircase is challenging but very scenic. However, it really depends on the person... for us (44 years old guy with a 20kg luggage) it wasn’t a problem, honestly.
The room was very good, with excellent beds and pillows, as well as soundproofing (if the windows weren’t soundproofed, it would be hard to sleep... so that’s a positive!).
The only drawback was the bathroom, with a very inconvenient sink.
Overall, an excellent place to stay for breathing the vibes of Bilbao old town.

Great accommodation overall.
Room service came every day. Fresh towels daily and everything was clean. The room is a bit smaller than the pictures suggest, and the bed feels a bit like an IKEA one, but it was still comfortable to sleep in. The window lets in plenty of natural light.
The shared kitchen/common room has a fridge, cutlery, and basic equipment, but no sink, so you’ll need to wash your dishes in your bathroom sink after use. The common area had a slight smell, so I preferred eating in my room instead.
Location: right in the heart of the old town! During the week, nights are quiet, but on Fridays and Saturdays, the nightlife in the area is lively, bright, and loud. Definitely bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
Be aware that you need to climb a long flight of stairs to reach the rooms, so it’s not ideal for anyone with mobility issues.
The biggest plus: everything is within walking distance. Great public transport connections, plenty of restaurants, nightlife, culture, and beautiful architecture. You’re truly in the middle of it. The view depends on your room; I was lucky to have one overlooking the charming narrow streets.

The staff and managers were extremely helpful. Great location. Lots of dining options, sights, shopping nearby. It is a walking only area (no vehicles) and a long staircase to climb so not the best if you have trouble getting around by foot. Otherwise a very nice place and highly recommended.

This is a cute 5 room hostel in the old town. Great if you arrive by taxi or train. A long walk if you arrive with a car. Lots of steps. Great shared kitchen area.

Definitely no frills
The room is in a converted apartment. The floors are beyond wonky, the rooms are on the second floor with a steep staircase from hell. Due to the nature of the conversion, the walls are paper thin and you hear everything. The hallway has no fresh air supply and stinks stale. Positives: clean room, fresh and modern interior.

Not recommended.
Extremely complicated to check in, apparently needs to be done 72h in advance online, unclear where the links are, communicating mainly in spanish. No indication of it but the bathroom was shared!! Very crazy.

I was under the impression that this was a hotel but it's not. No reception desk. The information on how to access the front door and room door are sent via email the day of arrival, around noon. If the guest does not have cell service outside of the USA, that's impossible to receive the information to get in your room. That was my case. A huge inconvenience that is not informed when I reserved the place. I find that it's a must to have this disclosure in order for your guests to make a well informed decision.

This pension is in a walking only area - a 10 minute walk from the nearest parking lot. then you have to haul your luggage up a long flight of stairs. 10 minutes after booking, I realized it was inaccessible by car and tried to cancel the booking but they did not allow it. The check-in system is complicated and in the end they sent us the code, but it didn’t work until I phoned, and she activated it. I inquired about parking, but they sent the information too late. With €18 for parking this was a very expensive room with paper thin walls. I could hear everything in the next room and that was not pleasant at four in the morning. They advertised kitchen facilities, but really it was a closet off the hallway, which had a small microwave and refrigerator. No sink. I do not recommend this place.

Ingen hiss men mycket bra
Sköna sängar. Bra AC. Tyst i rummet trots väldigt centralt läge. Vi visste att det inte fanns hiss men en lång härlig trappa. 4 personer, 1 dubbel och 2 singelsängar. Mycket sköna sängar för att vara i spanien. Mycket centralt läge men gågata utanför dörren.
