    It worked for me while walking the Camino del Norte. Nothing special though.

    Walls were too thin. I could hear a man snoring all night in the next room. I could also hear him when he was in his bathroom. I also had a water leak in the bathroom ceiling of room 117. I think it was from the shower in the room above. I videoed the leak and showed it to the desk worker the following day who wrote it down to have it looked at.

    The staff at the front desk were very helpful with checking me in and answering questions I had.

    Don't think I would stay again because of noise issues.

    • Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Insulate the walls? Needs more outlets for charging. Had to use bathroom/one outlet which would only work if you left the light on.

    With one exception this place is an excellent value. Clean, roomy, infinite hot water, extra large towels,comfy bed. However, the guy in the room next to me talked a lot on his phone and I could hear and understand every word. Later I heard a man and woman talking, quietly, just conversation, at 2 am. So thin walls. Staff was exceptional in greeting, sign in, storing bags after checkout. Just a short walk from Guggenheim.

    No elevator working. It is only two floors though, so it wasn’t that bad for us.

    Staff is simply amazing. They were very friendly. I had to ask for gluten free breakfast (which I asked for beforehand) and they’ve kept it in mind since I told them my name at check in. They were very attentive regarding that and made sure I had what I needed. Breakfast in general was really good, my boyfriend (no gluten free) and I left full and happy.

    THERE IS NO ELEVATOR, ROOM AND BATHROOM DOOR OF POOR QUALITY (DID NOT CLOSE WELL), THE DOOR SLAMS TO CLOSE, WITH THE CONSEQUENTIAL NOISE THAT GENERATES IN THE OTHER DOORS. ROOM WALL WITH DRIPS OF GOD KNOWS WHAT, HARD PILLOW, WE ENDED UP WITH NECK PAIN. FAIR BREAKFAST. INCIDENT WITH YANKEE STRANGER IN DINING ROOM, POORLY EDUCATED PEOPLE, WITHOUT CALL TO ORDER BY RECEPTIONIST. OLD BATHROOM, SINK FAUCET ALMOST COULD NOT OPEN. MAN IN THE NEXT ROOM 211 KICKING FURNITURE AND TALKING IN "MADRUGADA" VOICES.

    Heating was strange, sometimes it was too hot ( also caused bad indoor air) and then the room was humid.

    The front desk lady was the nicest person ever! single room is a bit small but ok for one night. The hotel is next to busy streets but the windows are thick and no sounds came inside.come the hotel was better than expected.

    Little outdated, not much choice for breakfast, better of going out breakfast.

    The lady at the desk was absolutely gorgeous 😍 the rest of the hotel was a little outdated, but very clean and definitely worth while for a 1 or 2 night stay or for young people. Not far from the centre it was a real nice walk. 👍

    The rooms are tiny, but that's not a big deal as long as they are clean. The walls are very thin, luckily I had quiet neighbours, but I could hear them as if they were in the room with me.

    Friendly staff, and the rooms were kept very clean, and it had a good shower.

    whilst location is fairly good and near station and walkable to all main things in Bilbao, I would not have liked to bee Ed there as a single woman. there were lots of sex shops and the direct walk over bridge to old town was quiet seedy, I would not have felt safe on my own.

    nice beds, quiet room
