Pequeno almoço, servido num cafe perto, era razoavel, com sumo de laranja natural.
Perto de tudo, mas ambiente na rua nao era bom.
Funcionarios simpaticos e prestaveis
Quarto com tudo o necessario.
Ambiente na rua, fomos inclusive avisados pela policia para ter atençao, mas nao fomos incomodados.
Beliches de cima sem proteçao nenhuma - quarto com 4 camas que era para nos e os nossos filhos, um deles até caiu, nao aconselhavel para crianças.

Staff are amazing. The room was clean. The shower was really good. Having a fridge,and a cooker, is a big plus. The location is perfect. Check in was nice and flexible
A duvet would be nice, but it's not a big deal :-)

Estaba en una ubicación muy buena y a poca distancia del casco viejo y la estación de tren ,además la limpieza y la amabilidad del personal
Sus alrededores ,es una zona bastante peligrosa por la noche ,y de inseguridad,aunque no tuvimos ningún tipo de problema

The room was really comfortable. The perfect option for those solo travelers that just travel with a small backpack. You feel like you are in an airbnb.

La calidad precio para las fechas que fuimos fueron geniales. La habitación es verdad que se puede hacer un poco pequeña, pero es el tamaño que se indica el booking y para unos días no esta mal. Con respecto a la ubicación estaba bien, muy céntrico. Ha solo 10 minutos del punto de información y del casco antiguo. Pero e barrio no nos ha gustado mucho.
¡Agradecer a la recepcionista que estaba el día de nuestra llegada por ser tan amable y por aconsejarnos tan bien para visitar Bilbao y sus alrededores!
La bañera era un poco incomoda, estaba como en dos alturas (tenia como un asiento, creemos) y la verdad que ducharse no era lo más cómodo. La zona estaba cerca del centro pero nos pareció bastante insegura. Si que es verdad que siempre había policía y eso te hacía sentir más seguro.

No me gustó nada, las habitaciones muy pequeñas, cuando entre note un olor raro que descubrí cuando me acosté era la almohada, olía mal.
Nada que decir del barrio, sin comentarios. Parking carisimo para la mala entrada q tiene.
Calidad precio, carisimo
Nos fuimos una noche antes de lo previsto, no soportaba más ni habitación ni ubicación.

Fuimos de turismo, mi hija y yo, y me pareció que era perfecto como residencia universitaria, está deseando largar alguna. La habitación pequeña pero con todo lo indispensable, no se necesita más. La gente de recepción muy amables, el desayuno en un bar cercano dar las gracias, muy atentos.
El olor que tenía la habitación a tabaco, debería estar prohibido, porque por mucho que se ventile y limpie, el olor queda en paredes, muebles, en la cortina de la ducha.
Ubicación, la verdad que el barrio da respecto, mucho borracho y drogadictos, pero también vi mucha policía.

The stuff is very welcome. Several times personal of the hotel helped us. I am very grateful for this!
It's noisy outside in the nights. You have to be prepared for this. Ear plugs help.

amicable and helpful staff
very noisy street, not possible to sleep in the morning, no AC, very hot in the room, can't open the window and window blinds as the window was huge and went directly to the street, you had to walk to another location for breakfast, the neighbourhood could make you feel uncomfortable walking alone at night

Not much......well located, perfect for exploring
5.0 / 5.0
It's perfect for couples or friends, you have your own kitchen with appliances, with two stoves, sink with dishwashing soap, fridge, bathroom, towels, there's a washing machine and dryer downstairs for €1,5, free breakfast in a café not far away, you can leave your bags for the day... Staff is super friendly, it's clean, it's just perfect.
Nothing, it was perfect for us!

It was clean and the staff were great. Breakfast at the bar was better than expected.
I had a problem with the shower in a very small bath that was difficult to stand in
4.0 / 5.0
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Location is close to the main station and an easy 5 minute walk to Casco Viejo, and to a large supermarket at Zabalburu.
Excellent breakfast at a coffee bar at Plaza Zabalburu.
Pool table in the lobby.
The area is a bit dodgy, but really not too bad. Many grocery shops, the odd bar, and lots of people hanging around on the street. We didn't bother them and they didn't bother us.
3.0 / 5.0
Walking distance to centre.
It's not the best location. Didn't feel safe to go out at the night time especially for a solo traveller. Room was fine but very basic. Bath/shower was very dangerous I nearly hurt myself.
It was good price but you don't get much for it. It would be worth to pay little bit more for a better accommodation.

excellent value for money and great location.
very friendly staff members and helpful
It’s really minor and not relevant but I stayed a week and my room was on the list to be cleaned the 2nd day after arrival and the day before departure. I obviously didn’t want my towel refreshed on the 1st clean and went to get a fresh towel downstairs on the 5th day without any hassle or issues. The clean the day before I checked out was unnecessary for obvious reasons.

Great staff, very helpful!
noisy on the first floor
3.5 / 5.0
The front staff were so nice. We also liked that there were common areas we could use; though we wished they would be more suitable for single person remote working (as opposed to big common areas with many people able to access them). We felt the rooms were reasonably well appointed with large wardrobes.
The kitchen needed a lot of items to make it more functional: a collander, sharp knives, a cutting board, lids for pots... all these things were missing. Also, the bathtub was dangerous to use. It has a weird multi-level floor which slanted toward the drain. It was nearly impossible to stand it in it without slipping.
3.5 / 5.0
i liked then quick check in process .
the size of beds , i am bit taller and they a bit shorter and the fact that the room was 1st floor by the street you have feeling someone is talking to you.
4.5 / 5.0
Everything was good and corresponded to the descriptions.
Like so many have mentioned before me, the street and the nearby area wouldn't make you feel safe because of the presence of some suspicious people. Therefore you just need to stay cautious around the streets. Besides this, nothing bad to mention.
2.5 / 5.0
The location of the hotel is centric and you can easily walk around the city.
The room was very small for two people and the staff was very unfriendly and not at all flexible. We have been in many hotels, but never experienced a unfriendly and inflexible service like this.
3.0 / 5.0
room was OK, staff was friendly.
location is not good, hilly part and it looked like only the low income people live in this area. we had no issues with safety though - when we saw 20 loud men all around the street, we took another street.
4.5 / 5.0
Friendly, helpful staff who spoke English, or at least tried very hard to help if they didn't. Good location and a compact student-style room with everything you need. The bed was comfier than expected.
The tiny shower/bath cubicle had a seat with a slope that I fell backwards on more than once. Its a very small space and was difficult to shower properly. There was no plug to enable me to sit on the seat and bathe that way. The sink didn't have a plug either and due to the shelf above it, I kept hitting my head! However, its a small compact space and I managed once used to it.
