If you need aparthotel with kitchen, there is not much choice in Bilbao. So, this will be a choice. Room rate is reasonable. Location is close to Bilbao old town. Unfortunately, it is located in an unsafe area, lots of illegal immigrant liked people gather around. Not recommend to single female traveler. We also heard the negative comment from nearby restaurant boss. Front desk staff is helpful, can answer all your queries. However, when messaging the hotel prior to check-in in person, no prompt answer which frustrated us a bit. Room is old, bedding and facilities obviously for students dormitory standard. Shower head is broken, room with little unpleasant smell. Downstair is noisy. Not enjoying our stay very much.

Muy buen sitio para alojarse, cerca de todo. He estado en un estudio y disponía de todas las comodidades. El personal está siempre disponible para ayudarte, las 24h, y son muy amables. El entorno no parece ser el mejor cuando llega la tarde-noche, pero yo no he tenido problema alguno. Sin duda lo recomiendo, y cuando vuelva a Bilbao repetiré.

The balcony area was poor. It was dirty and on the ground floor so no views besides the back of the surrounding buildings. The area around the property felt unsafe. The street was cordoned off by police one day due to unrest. The room did not feel particularly clean when we first arrived. Clearly had been cleaned in a hurry. Apart from that the property was walkable from all major attractions.

Udemærket hotel - belastet nabolag

Vi havde på forhånd læst nogle anmeldelser hvor der stod at det var et belastet nabolag hotellet lå i. Og på vej derhen må vi også erkende at det var rigtigt. Men vores oplevelse med gadesælgerne og narkomanerne var egentlig at de bare passede sig selv. Kun en enkelt gang var der en der var lige lovligt påtrængende, men ellers var de egentligt fredelige nok. Politiet er meget til stede og har fokus på hotellets gade, så det var rart nok. I forhold til hotellet var der ikke noget at klage over! Pænt, rent og et yderst imødekommende og hjælpsomt personale og vagter om aftnen. Kan klart anbefales, hvis man bare skal på eventyr i hele Bilbao og man køre det hele lidt på budget.

Room good and staff friendly and helpful. Well situated for all the main sights BUT the junkies, drug pushers and illegal street vendors on the street outside was quite unacceptable. I have travelled quite extensively in my long life and have stayed in fairly rough areas and have never felt nervous, but this time I was!!! Has anyone from Expedia actually checked out this place?

This property is not suitable for any tourist. 1. Over 35C for the 3 nights we were there, we didn’t get any sleep. No A/Conditioning they did supply us a small fan. Our room was at 522, the higher floor and the room is very small with 2 windows. We did open both windows for ventilation but honestly was not enough. The noise coming from the traffic and the people around the neighbourhood was very noisy. 2. Our bed was not clean with some dirts and hairs on the bed sheets. Poor hygiene and cleaning. We did offer to change the bedsheets ourselves. 3. Location, the property is situated quite away from the city over 3 km away and not the best part of the neighbourhood. Every night we had to walk passed the square with lots of ethnic groups from Northern Africa looking at us. Numbers of police cars always around the area. The last night, we saw 2 police stopped in front of the square and 4 police officers rushed to arrest a person to the ground. Overall, this place is not safe for tourists nor for the students. 4. The breakfast is not in the same premises, about 1 km away at the local restaurant. orange juice, 1 cup of coffee and 1 piece whatever available on display on shelves. 5. Don’t be deceived by the pictures on the advertisement, the room is very small. Not much to offer even they advertise for a kitchen. No kettle. Only 1 small saucepan to boil water for hot drink. 6. Cleaners weren’t there to clear your rubbish ever and change your wet towels. I personally recommend it.
