"Before checking in, I had coffee and beer at the hostel cafe and was waiting to check in. I paid in advance, but they insisted that I didn't pay, so I showed them the receipt, but they didn't apologize and had a bad expression. Overall, it was a good place to stay, but the most important thing was that the bunk bed was too low, so I hit my head on the metal frame several times. My neck and back were very uncomfortable, and I needed a bench chair in the 8-person dormitory. I had to turn the...

"Overall great stay - would definitely stay again The reception staff were so helpful and friendly - gave great advice on which beaches to go to and how to access them The accommodation is literally on top of the main interchange so unrivalled in terms of transport links - we got the bus to San Sebastián The room was fab with fridge, sink etc Some of the sheets were stained which is my only criticism but don’t let that out you off - I’m sure they would have given me fresh ones if I had...

Bilbao Hostel
2.0 star property

"I liked how easily accessible the property was and how the staff were very well versed in tourist attractions and the like. I was helped by Marta when I checked in and she gave me a map with all the places I’d need to go to or tourist and food spots circled in which was very helpful, as well as the transportation links around the city. I just wish there were more options especially with protein at breakfast. It was all pretty much just toast and baked good but some eggs and maybe some sausages...

Botxo Gallery - Hostel
2.0 star property
6.2 out of 10, (70)
"Most of the lockers were broken and you could not truly secure your belongings while you were out. The beds were not comfortable and the very limited electric receptacles were inconveniently located and ususlly being used; several of the secure charging lockers were out of order. The location is great, just across the river from the Guggenheim and reasonably walkable to other sights."

Hostel Barrika Surf Camp
2.0 star property
2.0 out of 10, (1)
"Ancor prima di arrivare nella struttura abbiamo avuto il primo problema: per la struttura c’era un errore del prezzo e dovevamo pagare altri 75€. Questa é stata risolta da Expedia con la struttura che ha ACCETTATO la prenotazione. Arriviamo e la proprietaria fa finta di nulla e afferma di aspettare 3 persone e non 6. Dopo una pantomima di alcuni minuti, ci accetta. La stanza era super sporca, con ragnatele e ragni. Non ci vengono date lenzuola di cotone ma paia monouso impossibili da...

"Often time when travelling unpredictable things happen. We arrived in Bilbao after 11 which in turn left us with nowhere to sleep as they do not accept check-ins later. This was pretty upsetting after an already tumultuous day. I would never book for somewhere again that won’t be able to check us in."

"This was a highly functional suite with 2 TV’s, European refrigerator, dishwasher, pots, dishes, cooktop, etc. the grocery store is<2 blocks away. Front desk is not staffed 7x24, but they ordered us a cab for non-staffed hours, and it arrived right on time. Very neat and clean. Trendy contemporary decor. We would go there again.
