The studio room was very usable and it was great to have a microwave/oven device to reheat food. The laundry facilities in the basement was convenient as well

Good sized property that was clean throughout. The area around the property is a little risky at night.

No internet service
If you need the Internet, DON"T STAY HERE. Instead of giving its guest an internet password, I had to register directly with the provider Ask4; and when it didn't work, the hotel was hands off and I had to contact the provider directly. It never worked during my three days of stay, and the hotel was completely unhelpful and unapologetic.
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.
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 .
A comfortable two bedroom apartment which can accommodate up to four persons. The separate sitting room/kitchen area and patio are nice. However, lacking some basic utencil, e.g. water kettle and screw driver to open wine bottle.

Student residence open to non students.
Fairly basic student accommodation with limited bedding and toiletries, no TV in the room. Nevertheless the staff were super helpful and location was really good for old town and bars. Room was clean and had everything I needed.
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.
The room is a small student dorm room with hobs, microwave, bathroom and all looked nice.
However, the beds were uncomfortable - they were very soft and dipped in the middle after a short while in them.
The place itself is nice and clean and looks new. There are ping pong and pool tables and areas to socialise.
The only other issue was the location. It's not a nice place to walk back to at night.
We paid 99€ for the night and for that money I would expect comfortable beds.
The room had a bad smell. It looked nothing like the photo of the room in the advertisement. The shower/tub were so small it were unsafe. The staff was friendly and helpful. For the price.. I guess it was ok.
