Great location, quiet at night!

Easy to check in. We arrived during reception hours and wanted to leave our luggage prior to check in and were allowed to check in as the room was cleaned and ready! Room was cleaned daily and we enjoyed little touches like replenishing coffee pods for each day. Would certainly stay here again!

The Pension is in a central area of Bilbao okd town, within easy reach of a Metro station or the bridge across to Gran Via. The room was small, but modern with a modern bathroom. It is ideal for a short break in Bilbao.

Pensión is in the middle of the old town surrounded by many options for eating & drinking. I liked that you had an access code so didn’t have to carry around. Some of the furniture items within the room had seen better days & could do with upgrading, however the bed was comfortable. The aircon made a buzzing noise regularly but we got used to that. It was efficient at cooling.

A wonderful and convenient location in the old town, but taxis not allowed on the street so we had to drag our luggage two blocks in be rain to get there. Showers are minuscule. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay immensely

Stayed for 3 nights in early May 2025. The pension itself is fine, booking in & access straightforward, room was in pretty good condition and an above average shower, although some of the furniture in the room was quite lightweight. As it is situated in the Old Town, the big plus is many bars and restaurants are nearby, so nothing is really more than 3-5min walk if you want to stay local. Plaza Nueva is great - with maybe 20 pintxo bars and restaurants. The rest of Casco Vieja was a bit too full of loud music drinking joints for me - nothing wrong with that, just personal taste. Other than Plaza Nueva, there were better pintxo bars to be found across the bridge in Abando & Moyua areas IMO. The street below the Pension did get quite noisy in the early hours, but only on one night did it disturb our sleep. Overall, I would recommend the accommodation, but maybe not for those who prefer to be situated in a more tranquil neighbourhood.
