Clean, friendly staff. Decent breakfast and a nice central location in Bilbao. Having the room next to the staff door maybe wasn't ideal but there was only one morning when they were using it.

The good and the not-so-good

The good: very close to train station, comfortable rooms that are fairly spacious, comfortable bed. Staff at desk were very helpful and friendly. The not-so-good: construction noise in the middle of the night, breakfast had good variety, but quality of some of food (very wet scrambled eggs and undercooked hard boiled eggs) was poor. They ran low on some items at 8am and that were not refilled timely. The breakfast room gentleman was friendly and helpful, but the lady who worked there on our second morning was not.
