    It was hot as hell which made sleeping impossible and because of the location, there was too much traffic and street lights, so we couldn’t open the window.

    Love the location and the room was clean.

    Eletronic check-in.

    The room is small, and the price is a bit high. So, it`s a not good cost-benefit ratio. The electronic doors sometimes are a bit confusing to deal.

    I really liked the totally electronic check-in, very different from all I`ve seen. It`s innovative. Although electronic, the online staff was helpful when I made a demand.

    Quite noisy. Spanish appartments are not well insulated and there a lot of noise till late in the night

    Tiny, but comfortable room in a private appartment building. Quite anonymous, and struggling with pascodes late in the evening to get inside. But the owner provides telephonic assistance. OK if a shared toilet and shower is no issue. OK if you are on a tight budget. It is low cost.

    A good budget option for a couple of nights.

    There is no reception, and we found it difficult to use the codes to unlock the front door, as well as the door to the pension itself. A code was needed to get into the shared bathrooms as well, which is sort of awkward when you need to use it in the night. The instructions to get into the building and rooms could be made more clear. Also, because there's no reception, there is no option to store bags in case of early arrival/ late departure.

    The location was convenient, as we arrived and left Bilbao with the bus. It was about a 10 minute walk. The hotel looked out onto a little local square with trees and shade (it looks better than the pictures) with a couple of bars and cafes around it. There was also a supermarket a 5 minute walk away. The room was simple, but clean and comfortable enough for one or two nights. A local area, and close enough to walk to the center of Bilbao. The price was good, compared with others in Bilbao in high season.

    You have to log the code in every door every time (bedroom, bathroom). The lock of the bedroom stopped unlocking the first time I left the room on check-out day before the mandatory check-out time. A family member had to be inside the bedroom to let you in! The doors and walls are thin and you get to hear everybody's passion night, etc....

    The staff member eased the deposit payment since there's no reception (check-in 24/7). The room was clean and the beds comfortable.

    My room was adjacent to the bathroom, with the bed on the same wall of the shower. Each time someone took a shower there was noise in my bedroom. The doors are really loud when closed so you really need ear plugs to sleep there.

    It was clean and in a good position with public transports.

    I went during summer and it was really hot in room, there was not even a fan. It was so uncomfortable sometimes. At least a fan will be helpful during summer.

    It’s so much affordable in middle of city walking distance from bus station and most attraction. Room was clean.

    The place was very clean and even thiugh our room was small it had had plenty of storage room (big wardrobe). The bathrooms were in a very good condition and sharing between rooms wasn’t a problem. There’s a lift and a very easy system to open the doors (just a code).

    Check out was at 11 and cleaning staff was cleaning around 10:30 leaving us no room to shower before we could leave. The room was very small for 2 it felt too tight.

    Beds were really comfortable and the location was amazing for the festival as the bus to the venue was nearby and the bus to the airport was too.
