Reviews of Bilbao Central Rooms

The room was bare bones but exactly what we wanted. Clean, with bed sheets and towels. The bathroom was clean and had good water pressure. The location was very close to the train station and not far from the city center.

There could be more outlets considering it's a room for four people. The beds were kind of flimsy but ok.

The position and the quality-price ratio

You need to take cleanliness more in consideration!

I am that type of traveller who reads all the comments. This accommodation has a somewhat “bad” reputation, there are homeless people reading the codes, getting in the building, its in bad area, has plastic in the windows and who knows what else. Well, these are not true! 1. You could not wish for better area! Nice, quite street, very close to everything. 2. There are no homless people peeking and using the code to get into the building. To be fair, I have not seen a single homless person in Bilbao. 3. Yes, there is a plastic in front of the window, but if you think about it, even giant hotel chains would not allow you to open the window mainly for security reasons as well as having the AC on is not the smartest move. 4, Overall, go ahead and book this place, they are nice people with decent rooms. My first interaction was about my payment and my issue got resolved within minutes without hassle, I was not expecting them to do what they did and once I realised, I felt very grateful. Thank you once again!! Also, we arrived half an hour early because my son was insisting to go and see if we can get into the romm and we could.

One tiny thing, the kitchen has operation hours, bear that in mind if you need to leave early or getting back late. Also, would have been nice to have a few more things like sieve or a bigger pot.

Sheets and towels were clean , bedroom and bathroom too.

The room was humid despite the air conditioning; muld on most of walls close to that bad ; beds not really comfortable

Did the job. Didn't have contact with any other people, guests or staff, but didn't need to.

Near the train station but a little tricky to get to from the bus terminal.

I booked a single (non-shared) room at this accommodation. The location was fairly easy to reach, I took a bus from the airport and walked around 10 minutes. The room appeared clean on first inspection. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.

Upon arrival, I was surprised to find the building felt more like an industrial space than a traditional hostel. Loud music was blaring as I entered – it felt like a live concert was taking place inside. I messaged the hostel to ask when it would end, and while they responded promptly, the noise continued for several hours. The rooms are located directly above the ground floor, where the music was coming from. It was so loud, it felt like the concert was taking place in the room itself. There was a strong, unpleasant smell in the room when I entered. I traced it to an electric diffuser, which I promptly switched off as it was making things worse. While bedsheets are provided, guests are expected to make their own bed. The towels supplied looked worn and old. The air conditioning/heating unit appeared very dirty, which made me reluctant to use it. Sound insulation was also poor – I could hear my neighbours clearly. As a solo traveller, I didn’t feel particularly safe staying here. Overall, this wasn’t a comfortable or restful experience, and I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

The location was perfect for what we wanted, very close to the railway station and plenty of restaurants. Room comes with a key fob to access the front door so no codes needed. Basic and cheap exactly what we expected.

Bunk beds were a bit noisy and difficult to get into top bunk

Great location, clean and secure.

Had to make my own bed. Basic.

The room was really clean, and there was an air conditioning which was working well. And Muhammed who is working there, was really friendly and helpful.

There was no shampoo and hair dryer in the room.

Reasonably priced and clean

Coffee machine was broken

I checked in late at night but the host gave me very specific, detailed instructions for how to enter the building and room which was useful. The AC unit was much needed, the shower worked well, and despite the kitchen being closed there's a vending machine you can buy drinks from.

Overall no big problems. Having to make your own bed (especially after arriving late at night) was inconvenient. The kitchen closes at 8.30pm - it could've been useful to use to fill up my water bottle or put things in the fridge on arrival but not a big problem.

What a find! We loved this hostel. Spacious room with a comfortable sofa and fantastic power shower. The kitchen was a welcome addition meaning we could have our morning tea and porridge 😀 Good instructions ahead of the stay and helpful staff.

Not easily found on foot. Lots of side streets that all look the same.

This place is phenomenal! Amazing clean facility, staff are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful! The location of this place is very good since all the attractions are just a walk away from there. Definitely recommend a stay here! Mohammed was the best! Super nice and friendly!

Everything was excellent

Good location in the city centre. Check-in process was simple as the host provided remote check-in info.

Prices were inflated due to the football (3x usual price). There were shelves with sharp edges very badly positioned above the head portion of the bed, I cut my head on one of them as a result. Was charged in GBP at a terrible exchange rate (by the property not Booking.com) despite my booking being made in EUR - had to get Booking.com to intervene and issue a refund for the extra. There was a person who was either very drunk or homeless sleeping in the corridor late one night.

Very central location for my Camino de Norte trip; superb room with high quality decor. The shower was one of the best on the Camino

The entrance is a bit run down and it is not compatible with the top class rooms
