Good pension in the Old town near the train station (7-10 minutes walk). Zazpi Kaleak metro station is 3-5 minutes away. Long staircases, high ceilings, a balcony on a narrow street, a large room. A good, authentic place to stay in Bilbao for a night or two.

Authentic, inexpensive place to stay in the Old town.

In Old Town, very close to Metro station. Old Town is atmopheric and relaxing. Narrow, facinating streets and Plaza Nueva is great meeting up place for drinks and food. Great links  to main city centre which can be reached by foot or public transport, ie metro or tram. Bilbao is an intriguing city with proud hisory. Excellent transport links to airport and local region.

modest pension, spotlessly clean. Ideal location.

The Hotel was very central. Therefore it was perfect for us for sightseeing.
Althrough the central position it was very quit in the room.
Due to the cheap price the bath and also furniture was a little old. But all clean. We can recommend!


Central "Homestay"

It was a good hostel, in the heart of the Casco Viejonot ,old town. Other parts of the city were easy to reach. The couple who run that small place was friendly, they made the bed every day and changed the towels. They do not speak foreign languages, that may lead to difficulties by other guests ( I speak a bit Spanish, it was ok). The washbasin was sometimes a bit dirty. All in all, I was satisfied with that place.
      
      
      

It was a solo holiday

Vintage and basic hotel just in the  oldBilbao heart. Mr Sabatino, the owner, is a good person, with a long past at his shoulders. This place is very cheap and good for visitin the city, but yes, cleaning is not its best feature.

Old style Bilbao

My bed was full with bedbugs. It was a horrific experience waking up with bedbugs all over. I had to book a different hotel in the middle of the night, throw away the clothes I was wearing, and wash all my stuff not to spread them to other places.

The pension in general was quite dirty and the staff did not speak English. The only good thing about this pension are the location and the price, but it is definitely not worth it.

Bedbugs

Whilst our first night was pleasant enough, it is, what should have been our second night that has prompted the review. Centrally located in the Casco Viejo, competitively priced and functional. We stayed for one night. My mother in law had a room with a toilet at €45 and we had one without at €35.
I warmed to the gentleman who ran it, as he was chatty and helpful, even advising me on parking and navigating around the area, and when he realised that our second night would fall 10 days later, on a Saturday, he explained that he would be leaving in the evening of that day and advised me to arrive early so that he could greet us.
That's why this later experience makes no sense. Having agreed to arrive before 6pm on Saturday 12th August, I repeatedly rang the button at 3:20pm. No response. As we had to meet family to eat, we rang several times over the next 2 hours, but the phone was always engaged and seemed to have been left off the hook.
We were left high and dry, at the 11th hour and on a very busy Saturday in Bilbao. We were extremely fortunately to find anywhere at all, but found one of 3 remaining rooms in Bilbao - a room for 3 at €200! The result is that my wife and mother in law, no longer trust pensions for fear of a repeat experience. I certainly will avoid this one in the future.
Would have given it a score of 3 had it not been for the second night.

A Mixed Experience

This place is crawling with bedbugs.
Avoid! 
Yes, it's central. Yes, it's cheap.
However, you will wake up halfway through the night with bedbugs all over you.
Originally we have booked for two nights but obviously cancelled the second night.
The owner did not offer a refund for the unfortunate night even though we have showed him bedbugs we crushed overnight. He also did not look surprised at all or remotely apologetic.
Terrible experience.
