Categories

Cleanliness
1
Repeated praise for cleanliness: 'schoon', 'súper limpio', 'clean and modern' and well-maintained interiors across multiple reviews.
Service
1
Generally friendly and helpful hosts (early check-in, baggage hold) but some issues: apartment not ready at 16:00 for one party and in-person communication limited to Spanish/Basque for some guests.
Location
1
Central, convenient location near old town and market hall praised, but several guests note the street/area can be lively, politically charged or feel unsafe for some, reducing appeal for certain visitors.
Room Quality
1
Rooms often described as new, modern and comfortable, but some negative notes: one unit lacked the advertised cathedral view, a toilet seal caused a bad smell in one bathroom, and privacy was limited in some layouts (beds in living area).
Amenities
1
Apartments are well equipped overall, but guests mentioned small kitchens and missing items (e.g., insufficient coffee capsules), so amenities are slightly below perfect.
Value for Money
1
Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Food and Beverage
1
Minor complaint about limited coffee capsules; no full F&B service discussed in reviews.
Overall Experience
1
Majority of reviews report a very positive stay ('Heerlijk', 'Genial', 'Top verblijf'), praising comfort, cleanliness and location despite the isolated issues noted above.

Nice place but location not safe for women.
Pros:

It was nice inside and nice that it was on the water.

Cons:

The neighborhood was scary. We got there in the afternoon and there were men drinking all over the street. We had to have our bags dropped off a bit away and the men kept yelling at us and this was before 5.

Pros:

Großartiges Apartment, top ausgestattet und frisch renoviert. Sehr ruhig zur Flussseite hin. Straßenbahn in direkter Nähe. U-bahn ca. 10min zu Fuß.

Die Lage ist grundsätzlich toll, direkt gegenüber der Markthalle und nahe der historischen Altstadt. Allerdings muss klar sein, dass dieser Stadtteil auch sehr lebhaft und politisch aufgeladen ist. Für jüngeres Publikum sehr gut geeignet. Für israelische Staatsbürger vermutlich eher weniger...

Cons:

Unser Apartment war 16 Uhr leider noch nicht fertig und wir mussten warten. Kommunikation mit dem personal nur auf spanisch oder (wer kann...) baskisch möglich. Per E-Mail aber auch mehrsprachig. Alles Kleinigkeiten, wir hatten insgesamt einem tollen Aufenthalt in Bilbao.
