We just needed a place for one night and that was the cheapest option in Bilbao at that time, plus it had breakfast included and good reviews on Booking. I was too optimistic with the location, which is not their fault but mine :) It's located a bit outside of the centre, still walkable distance (maybe like 20min) and it did offer a nice view, especially at sunset. They did say they have a terrace but it is literally a small space with a table and a few stools in front of the entrance. The girl at the reception was really nice, she showed and explained us everything and made sure we were comfortable in the room. We slept in a 10-bed room, so I understand that there's no privacy really but I did find the layout of the beds quite smart actually and it did give more privacy than in other hostels I've stayed in. The mattress was not very comfortable but after having slept in a tent the nights before, it was ok. They have big lockers (bring your own lock or rent one from the reception) with a plug inside. Everything was very clean. They had a nice "living room" where you could sit and read or play chess but no food/drinks allowed in that area. The kitchen was big but only had 2 (portable) stovetops which I found way too few for so many people. Luckily we didn't have to wait too long to cook but I imagine if the hostel is full and everyone wants to cook, there will be a waiting line. The breakfast they offer is basic - cereals, toast, coffee, milk, sweets, jam - but I thought it was ok. Fruits would have been good and milk for vegans as they only had cow milk but 3 different kinds. All in all, I would come here again, nice staff, very clean and quite.
