“The location is convenient for exploring Bilbao, near buses and a short walk from the train station; the staff are exceptionally helpful, offering maps and recommendations, but the building is on the older side. While the rooms are clean and the beds comfortable, some noise from neighboring rooms should be expected. For a no-frills base with outstanding service, it's a solid choice.”
