The rooms are very nice but small. Very friendly staff, it is almost self service with no reception. You will ring the bell and will welcome you and show you to your room. Some noise. Good value for thew price.

Air conditioner not working

Whether was 36C and no air conditioner in the room. Roasting and unable to sleep. Was like trying to sleep in sauna. However, nice location, close to Centro and 1 min walk to Bilbao metro station. Supermarkets, banks and restaurants on same street or street parallel.

Awful check in process

The check in process was awful. On arrival there was only the cleaner who spoke no English and was very rude when I spoke only a little Spanish. She left giving my a card to What’s Ap someone who didn’t answer the message for a long time leaving me sitting in the hall. Eventually they answered and I to complete an on line check in Spanish. The whole process took nearly 90 minutes. The room was small but adequate for one though it was a double. Good location for my needs

Comfort and location in boutique albergue.

A wonderful ‘albergue, / boutique hotel. Good service and communication. Be aware of the fact there in not really a reception - so timing arrival is important.

Although English was not spoken, I found the staff quite patient and understanding in dealing with my minimal knowledge of Spanish. The property was quiet and well maintained.

I spent hours out on the cold street with my eight-year-old daughter because we couldn't get in because the proprietor never sent the email with the code to get in the door. There is no evidence whatsoever that she did this to my correct email which Expedia has!!! Instead she was at a New Year's Eve party not to be heard from! Totally unacceptable!

Pésimo lugar

Pésimo el servicio de check in, no hay claridad en las indicaciones. No enviaron el link y estuve media hora fuera consiguiendo la forma de comunicarme. El ascensor no servía, tuvimos que subir tres pesadas maletas por escaleras. Cabellos humanos en las camas. Todo mal y lo peor, más de 250 dólares la noche por un hostal que no cuesta ni 50 dólares. Un robo.

Pésima experiencia!! El hotel no tiene recepción, el ascensor no funciona, me toco subir por escaleras con mis maletas hasta encontrarme una señora que trabaja en el aseo. Esta señora también bastante grosera, me dijo que tenia que comunicarme a un numero para tramitar mi check in! En ese numero no contestaron, me toco salir a la calle a buscar otro hotel donde quedarme. Es una vergüenza de hotel, no se lo recomiendo a nadie!
