Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place is great. Central in old town, close to metro, tram, the cathedral, the Ribeira market, and in a very lively area with restaurants and bars (pinxtos!). I accidentally loaded the Bilbao transit card with too much credit, so I used the tram to go where I would normally walk to (eg the Guggenheim) and I'm thankful the Arriaga tram stop was a 2minute walk from this place. The bldg felt secure, code needed to enter the bldg, the elevator, and the room. The property was very new and clean. Noise insulation was good. Would stay again.

This place was great. Great location, close to the metro and tram, in the heart of old town, I never met a staff member as the reception hours were reduced due to the new years. They contacted me via Expedia to collect information beforehand so the check in process was done online and code was used for access. Similarly my request to move my bags (I moved from this room to another mid stay) was also executed flawlessly using online communication. Secure bldg, very modernized with amazing insulation. My room actually faced a lively street with bars and eateries yet I had no bothersome noise. Plenty of outlets and shelves, espresso machine and fridge, a nice "quality of life" upgrade for travelers, towels were changed daily and coffee was refilled daily. That said if I have to criticize one thing, it's the design placement of the shower, or the lack of shower curtain and/or glass divider between the shower and the toilet. Perhaps someone taller than me could stand exactly in the path of the showerhead to prevent the water from getting all over the floor and the toilet but there just wasn't any height/angle combo of the showerhead that accomplished that for me. It isn't too big of an inconvenience other than having to put a whole towel on the floor for slip hazard prevention. That was really, really the only flaw I noticed. I will definitely be back to stay again.

In Bilbao for a conference, three nights. This was a convenient historical centre location close to taxis, two supermarkets, good place for breakfast, recently refurbished, clean, room made up every day. No reception: street door, lift to first floor, and room door, all opened with a code.

Perfect location, small but very nice room. Would have given full stars, but had to deal with the communications mix-up that prevented me from receiving the necessary entry code. This was rectified quickly. Aside from this small issue, I greatly enjoyed my stay and would recommend to anyone.

Perfect location

The location in the old town could not be beaten, loads of bars, restaurants and local shops. Having said that our room was so quiet so the soundproofing is brilliant. Check in was smooth and quick. Our room was well decorated, spacious and spotless, the bed was comfortable and linens a good quality. The only drawback for us was the open bathroom, although the toilet had a door the shower area only had a curtain. However this wouldn't prevent me from staying here again.

The AC unit is right over your head and makes a terrible vibrating sound every 20 minutes all night. There is also a weird banana/vanilla scent that seems to be piped through the vents.
