Comments: Very hard to find when driving from directions given ... print a map. Construction site literally outside the window. No atmosphere, but not terrible if you just want somewhere to sleep for a few hours.

Comments: Propably not the best option, even though the hotel is really nice and clean for the money. Not that hard to find if you come by the train mentioned in the directions from the train or bus station (just down the stairs and left). If you are coming from elsewhere, you really need either GPS or a detailed map of the outskirts of Bilbao. Choose only if you speak Spanish and have earplugs (the walls are sooo thin).

Comments: Very out of the way. Hard to find even if you have a car (is too far out of the way to be on most maps of Bilbao, including the one they give you at reception!).

Comments: the hostel isnt situated in a great area. Directions to the hostel- NOTE its only 2 stops fro the bus station, the station you get off at Zorrozta, and get out of the station and walked down the large set of stair in front of you, then turn to the left and you should see the hostel sign. Not many restaurants around, and its a bit hard to eat if there is no kitchen.

Comments: Directions were poor. Not near the center of the city but very accessible via train. Train comes often and is around the corner. Would help if there was a warning of when the last train from the city center came into Zorrotza. Very clean and comfortable although the noise level sucks. Walls are paper thin.

Comments: Only a few stops away from city center, and the station was only a few steps from hostel. Very clean. Felt very safe staying there. Small, never had to wait for bathroom. Nice sink & TV in our room. Brush up on your Spanish, staff speaks limited English. Perfect hostel for the price, would recommend to friends.

Comments: This place was good for what we needed - to relax after staying up all night partying in Pamplona,s running of the bulls. My girlfriend and i actually enjoyed the quiet peaceful neighborhood, but if you are looking for fun and excitement in Bilbao this is not the place. Bathrooms and bedrooms were nice and clean.

Comments: It was almost as if we stayed in a hotel: the rooms are AWESOME, the bathrooms are clean but if you're traveling by yourself it's not the place to meet other travelers and go into the city. Also, the train that connects the hostel with the city only runs till 1130 or so at night so you may have to take a taxi if you want to stay out late. Overall, a great deal

Comments: Loved this place. It\'s a little bit far from the centre of Bilbao but dead easy to get to from the train station which is about 50 metres away. Warning about the shutters though - don\'t put them down and forget to set an alarm! You\'ll think it\'s about 7am when it\'s actually 12:30. The owner speaks okay English but watch out for the cleaners who shout something that sounds a bit like \"Allidiere\" then come in and take your towels.

Comments: This hostel was pretty much everything I hoped for. You may say it is far away from Bilbao, but the bus takes you where you want to go in less than a half hour.
