Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I liked how easily accessible the property was and how the staff were very well versed in tourist attractions and the like. I was helped by Marta when I checked in and she gave me a map with all the places I’d need to go to or tourist and food spots circled in which was very helpful, as well as the transportation links around the city. I just wish there were more options especially with protein at breakfast. It was all pretty much just toast and baked good but some eggs and maybe some sausages and beans would’ve been great too

No towels. Had to make bunk beds. Charged $99 for 4 so could have room to ourselves which made it more than a nice hotel with private bath. Nice view tho.

A decent stay in a decent hostel.

It looks a bit far away from the city centre, next to the highway, at the top of a slope\hill, but the location isn't that bad actually. In half hour walk you're in the city centre and it's perfect for those traveling by car (free parking). Clean rooms & bathrooms, friendly and helpful staff. Free (basic) breakfast is served exclusively between 8 and 9 AM, even during high season. WiFi works fine, nice info provided for city sightseeing. I would recommend it.

L avis de VaVa

Nous avons passé 6 nuits dans cette auberge de jeunesse. Les locaux sont propres. Le personnel est plutôt sympathique. Le petit déjeuner est distribué sous forme de self avec des gâteaux sous emballage. Si vous souhaitez utiliser la cuisine, il faut une caution en monnaie pour avoir des assiettes et une autre caution pour les ustensiles mis sous film plastique. Les chambres sont assez rudimentaires. Le point négatif est la proximité de l autoroute non compensée par la climatisation. Le logement est plutôt bien situé dans Bilbao à proximité des arrêts de bus: pratique et économique avec la barik card

Litera sencilla e instalaciones normales. Por desgracia no puede descansar. Deberian prohibir la entrada a los que roncan como tractores.
