Very Good

We stayed to nights in Bilbao and the location was perfect right in the old town. The room were very clean and the bathroom was also clean. Comfortable bed. Only a small room but that was perfect for us
Conveniently located in the heart of the old town, with close access to tram and metro. Smart and spacious rooms within a traditional building. Lots of bars and shops on the doorstep

The room and bathroom were spotless and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The property is just around the corner from the metro station and super convenient for restaurants and nightlife.

Good clean room with modern furnishings however there were renovations to the museum across the very narrow alley with lights on all night and very thin curtains which made sleeping problematic. Also the rooms are one or two floors up with a very twisting old wooden staircase with uneven steps so taking luggage up is quite difficult.
Great property for the price! It's centrally located and within walking distance to everything like restaurants, shops, and main attractions. Clean, comfortable, and convenient. Highly recommended for anyone looking for value and location!
Right in the old center. Modern rooms with a good bed.

Stayed here for three nights as a solo female traveler and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very safe, perfectly located within a one minute walk of the metro. All of the bars in the old town are on your doorstep. Spacious room and modern bathroom. Would absolutely recommend.
Great location in old town with a metro station just around the corner (but you can also easily walk everywhere). Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff was really nice and helpful.
Could be nice with a sign in the reception with opening hours/be right back if staff are away helping somebody ☺️
Good value room in the old city close to everything including the metro. Super quiet despite location. Basic room, but had what you needed and great shower. Very clean. Little natural light in room, but spent most time outside so not a big issue. Easy to walk to train station, Guggenheim etc. Would stay there again.
Essentially booked because it was cheap and central but was impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel, the niceness of the breakfast and location generally. Had good nights sleep in spite of being right in the centre of the old town. Nice stay and good value for money.
Would return to the same hotel because it was so walkable, close to the old center and relatively quiet even in the middle of the center. Didn't open the windows and balcony doors, so it must be the good sound proofing of the doors. Reception was very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and airy. Furnished quite sparsely but the price was reasonable.
