Comodo
Pros:

Posizione super comoda anche se quartiere particolare. A 10 min a piedi dalle principali attrazioni. Stanza pulita.

Cons:

Il quartiere di sera non é molto rassicurante. No aria condizionata in camera, quindi d’estate impossibile dormirci.

Pros:

Pokój wyposażony w mini aneks kuchenny. Czysty, mały pokój idealny na krótki pobyt. W cenie hiszpańskie śniadanie w kawiarni 5 minut od hostelu.

Cons:

Nieciekawa dzielnica.

We thought we would try it, lesson learnt.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The area was intimidating, migrants in their hundreds, mop and bucket left in the bath, we were on motorcycles and they could only accommodate two of the bikes. Three of us had to walk over a mile in pouring rain back from a car park, despite their being amply space to park the bikes in the car park.

Cons:

I stayed two years ago during the week and it was great for one person, price etc. This time I stayed with a friend and the room was the same size with just an extra bed in room. More expensive this time, but that was fine, I was just disappointed that the room was so small.

Some noisy guests in hallway at times but we were just unlucky

Cómoda y feliz en Bilbao
Pros:

Muy buena ubicación, la habitación estaba equipada con nevera, cocina eléctrica y utensilios. Calefaccionada.

Cons:

Al principio el barrio San Francisco, pero influenciada por las opiniones leídas. Estuvo todo más que bien. Buenos restaurantes cerca de la residencia.
