First trip to Spain
We had a great stay. Accommodation spot on and the breakfast was great. Didnt seem to be a good area to stay but was ok. Friendly reminders from local shop keepers to keep safe from pick pockets. Great for access to everywhere. We walked but plenty of buses. Would use again.

great place .shame about location
the place itself was nice and good to have a kitchen . I can just fault he noise as the walls are like thin paper. However the location is not great and i was not feeling safe coming back on my own at night , also ask for a non street facing room and it will be hopefully quieter .

A comfortable two bedroom apartment which can accommodate up to four persons. The separate sitting room/kitchen area and patio are nice. However, lacking some basic utencil, e.g. water kettle and screw driver to open wine bottle.

Student residence open to non students.
Fairly basic student accommodation with limited bedding and toiletries, no TV in the room. Nevertheless the staff were super helpful and location was really good for old town and bars. Room was clean and had everything I needed.

This property is a student residence. I stayed in a double room with 2 twin beds. It was small but we didn’t need much room since we were only there for the weekend. The bathroom and beds were clean. There was only a top sheet on the bed, no blankets which I didn’t love but the room wasn’t cold so it was okay. There is also a tiny kitchen with plates and a few cooking utensils and a microwave if you want to reheat something and a fridge for storage. There are also a lot of areas to hang out outside of the room and some table games like ping pong and pool. To get from the center of town to the hotel isn’t bad since Bilbao isn’t huge. There’s about 3 minutes of walking where the location doesn’t feel the safest. If you go the opposite direction though it starts to feel more unsafe. Getting into the hotel isn’t a problem, but if you go the other direction it’s a little sketchy. Overall a good experience. The staff were really kind and helpful and they gave us coupons for free breakfast at a small cafe down the street where we could get a coffee and a sandwich or piece of tortilla that was delicious. If you’re only going to Bilbao for the weekend and need a cheap place to stay this is a good option, but probably not the best for more than 3 nights.

Nice room, bad beds, not a nice area of the city
The room is a small student dorm room with hobs, microwave, bathroom and all looked nice. However, the beds were uncomfortable - they were very soft and dipped in the middle after a short while in them. The place itself is nice and clean and looks new. There are ping pong and pool tables and areas to socialise. The only other issue was the location. It's not a nice place to walk back to at night. We paid 99€ for the night and for that money I would expect comfortable beds.

The room had a bad smell. It looked nothing like the photo of the room in the advertisement. The shower/tub were so small it were unsafe. The staff was friendly and helpful. For the price.. I guess it was ok.

Not my piece of cake.
The place is well located, but even if the service is friendly, it is too inefficient. Checking in took some 10 minutes. Breakfast is included, and it is breakfast until 11, but bu 9:45, on both days I stayed there, there Ema as nothing left but toast and coffee. They ran out of everything else. My second morning, by 10 there was not even toast. Just coffee. Showers are uncomfortable, slippery and involve a minor climb into slippery surface. The street it is on is noisy, and if you plan to go back past 1 am expect to be harassed by street prostitutes.

Hotel residencia Blas de otero was all around a decent place. It’s kind of hard to find because the name is different on the building. It’s in a nice location as far as traveling to sites and restaurants but the surrounding streets are not so nice. Loud music from the streets kept us awake as did the cars and foot traffic. Maybe because our room was right next to the sidewalk. They had a little kitchen to use with some pots and pans which is nice when your try to save money by eating in. WiFi worked well and they do provide toiletries but there por quality. The shower was weird to say the least and the hot water only lasted for a few min. Breakfast was nothing to rave about, some toast and jam was about it. They have a common area with ping pong and pool but we didn’t use that at all. They do have a laundry room which is nice and the front desk can give you change for it. All around I’d say it’s a good place for someone trying to save money and doesn’t mind the little things.

Bed past the best-before date!
We were unaware this is a university residence - no problem though, it was very quiet, secure and clean. The staff were all extremely kind, wifi signal was good. The room is small but adequate for 1 night. 2 things to note: the listing on hotels.com indicates the bed is a queen size. It is not. It’s only a small double. The 2nd thing is that the bed in the room we were assigned, HA003, was well past it’s useful life. It caused us to roll towards the middle and was just generally very uncomfortable. Location is easy walk to old town and a pleasant 1.7 km walk along the river to reach the Guggenheim. A simple breakfast is provided and there are many restaurants or cafes close by. Ok for one night but if a comfortable bed is your preference, take your money elsewhere.
