Great accommodation overall.
Room service came every day. Fresh towels daily and everything was clean. The room is a bit smaller than the pictures suggest, and the bed feels a bit like an IKEA one, but it was still comfortable to sleep in. The window lets in plenty of natural light.
The shared kitchen/common room has a fridge, cutlery, and basic equipment, but no sink, so you’ll need to wash your dishes in your bathroom sink after use. The common area had a slight smell, so I preferred eating in my room instead.
Location: right in the heart of the old town! During the week, nights are quiet, but on Fridays and Saturdays, the nightlife in the area is lively, bright, and loud. Definitely bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
Be aware that you need to climb a long flight of stairs to reach the rooms, so it’s not ideal for anyone with mobility issues.
The biggest plus: everything is within walking distance. Great public transport connections, plenty of restaurants, nightlife, culture, and beautiful architecture. You’re truly in the middle of it. The view depends on your room; I was lucky to have one overlooking the charming narrow streets.
Excellent value for money. The entrance staircase is challenging but very scenic. However, it really depends on the person... for us (44 years old guy with a 20kg luggage) it wasn’t a problem, honestly.
The room was very good, with excellent beds and pillows, as well as soundproofing (if the windows weren’t soundproofed, it would be hard to sleep... so that’s a positive!).
The only drawback was the bathroom, with a very inconvenient sink.
Overall, an excellent place to stay for breathing the vibes of Bilbao old town.
