Me hospede solamente por dos noches con la opción de desayuno incluido y todo perfecto! El personal muy amable, instalaciones limpias y muy buena seguridad para equipaje y artículos personales!:) En mi opinión, no vale mucho la pena el desayuno que incluye, solamente es pan y cereal... en general si lo recomiendo y si volvería a hospedarme ahí!

Good experience overall

Nothing particularly wrong with the hostel, the staff was very friendly and helpful too, it was clean and located in a convenient place. I would definitely go again by myself but if going with kids I may look for a different place to stay.

With more rules than your parents home

The hostel has more rules than your parents house, cannot use common area after midnight, cannot use the patio after 8:00 PM and cannot turn the ligths early, breakfast included is not available until after 8 AM so if you need to be early you cannot even prepare yoursel a coffee because they do not let you. This is not a welcoming hostel, it is not service oriented to the visitors. It only has mini-fridge for a studio apartment for the whole hostel, there is no place to store food. Not the best place to stay in Bilbao.

Voor herhaling vatbaar, liefst met nieuw sanitair!

De dame van de ochtenddienst was héél vriendelijk. Matrassen mogen iets beter van kwaliteit. Het sanitair met de deuren inbegrepen was een ramp. Ook de keukenkraan: allemaal heel goedkoop materiaal. Gelukkig wel heel warm water. Stilte na 22:00 is daar blijkbaar toch niet zo goed gekend, uiteindelijk is het dan toch wel gelukt buiten enkele heel sterk snurkende dames tijdens beide nachten .... en dame die uren haar licht liet branden. Een hele uitdaging dus. Tof: keuken kunnen gebruiken en warme drank voorradig! Prima service hiervoor. Gelieve op de site duidelijk te vermelden dat Breakfast included is, ik had zelf mijn voorraadje mee. Het was me niet duidelijk via de boeking.

Buen lugar con detalles a mejorar.

El Hostel está bien ubicado, muy cerca de la estación de buses y cerca al Guggenheim. En general es un buen hospedaje pero carece de esos detalles que ayudan y lo hacen confortable Cosas de no me gustaron: La ducha, qué trabaja con un sensor y se apagaba la luz pese a estar bañándome. Peor aún si le sumamos que el área de la ducha es ínfima y no tiene un gancho dónde colgar las cosas. Las áreas comunes están entre las habitaciones y no se puede permanecer ahí desde cierta hora. Los camarotes no tienen luz propia, es una lámpara compartida. Igual los tomacorrientes.

Good place to stay

Everything was perfect, except two things: first of all, the breakfast starts at 7.30 a.m. which I think is quiet late ! And there is no possibility of having it in case you leave early. Secondly the common place is close from 12 a.m. till 7.30 a.m. The time range is strange to me which is not very standard. It is accessible till mid night, but if you want to do anything in the morning, you can't before 7.30 (even can't switch on the light) !! I would suggest to take this time schedule into account and change if possible.

Kelpo hostelli lähellä linja-autoasemaa

Sijainti kätevästi 7 minuutin kävelymatkan päässä linja-autoasemalta, josta pääsin muutaman tunnin yöunen jälkeen lentokenttäbussilla varhaiselle aamulennolle. Keskivertohyvä hostelli, jossa kaikki välttämätön (toimivat wc:t ja suihku, kelvollinen yhteiskeittiö). Mukavuutta heikensivät hieman huterat kerrossängyt ja yleisissä tiloissa varsin myöhään aika voimakkaalla soineet musiikkivideot. Palvelu ystävällistä.

Ce n’es pas un hôtel...

La description est erronée, il ne s’a pas d’un hôtel mais bien d’une auberge de jeunesse. On est très surpris en arrivant. Par contre pour une auberge de jeunesse, elle est plutôt bien. Reste qu’a 120€ la nuit, c’est très cher.
