Great little modern pension right in the heart of the Old Town but, as all rooms are on the 1st floor relatively quiet too. My room (Carola) was compact but had everything I needed and the location couldn't have been any better. Less than a 30 second stroll to the old square with all the lovely Pintxo places, and similar distance to the Metro station. Air con and a wall mounted large screen tv in the room. Small en suite with good walk in shower. Would stay again as a single traveller

The extractor fan in my en suite didn't seem to work. Probably related, but the tiles appeared to have black/brown mould on them - although this didn't scrub off with a quick go so I can't be 100%.... but it looked bad/mouldy - Interroom soundproofing not great (but pleased the couple next door had such 'fun times" (repeatedly !!) - For a couple, the room I had ('Carola') would be a bit small (one side of the bed is against the wall) - My room only had an opaque window to an internal air shaft/storage area so minimal natural light

The first floor room with interior 'view' was perfect for my needs. It might be a bit small for 2 though. The bed was SO comfy so I was happy! I was sceptical that it would be quiet being so close to Plaza Nueva but it really was! 😁All the communication was so quick and easy and no problem with checking in online and using the door codes. On checkout day I also used the locker service mentioned by the owners and that was great too! Thank you. 😁

The Nespresso machine is a bit pointless. A simple kettle would be more use and much quieter. Everything else was great.

The location is absolutely perfect, right by the Plaza Nueva, easy walking to all the main sights in the city, and good public transport connections. The room was very clean and comfortable, and very quiet in spite of central location. Nice decor and felt very safe and secure. We just had a few meters walk to the cafes on the Plaza Nueva to get a good breakfast or have a late night drink before turning in for the night.

It was rather annoying that hours for leaving luggage at the sister property were so limited, this was very inconvenient on the day we arrived and the day we left.

The appartment is in an excellent location. It is easy and safe to walk around as a solo traveller.

It was a little challenging to find the reception to deposit luggage before the room was ready. Although there is google maps nowadays it should be remembered that not all travellers maybe internet savvy and it should be part of the service to help find the reception, particularly when the price of the rooms are not inexpensive.

Location location location Conveniently located a couple of minutes walk from the zazpikaleak metro station in the Casco viejo area. Right next to the Nueva Plaza. Couldnt ask for a better location. Super comfy bed and a daily replenishment of tea and cofee to enjoy with the machine that came with the room.

No actual daily cleaning for the room during my four day stay. The bed was made (sort of) and that was it. But overall good value for money.

The inn was quiet and in a great location. The room was lovely and had everything I needed except for instructions as to how to work the coffee machine. I would definitely stay here again. It is located off a lovely plaza and in an area that encourages walking around the old town.

It was difficult to find the inn. The instructions were confusing and it took me a while to locate the building. There need to be more specific instructions and perhaps a map. Otherwise the inn was great.

Location was great, right in the heart of the old city. Room was nice, bed was really comfortable, but the location was noisy. I have used ear plugs and slept like a baby. Breakfast was not an option, but there are plenty of option on the streets nearby.

I would have loved to have a kettle for a cup of tea, but that wasn't the end of the world. :) Bathroom could do with a bit of extra privacy. :)

Pension Lo Bilbao. Price excellent. Location excellent. They should do more to promote the fact that they are less than 100 meters and only two turns from the Casco Viejo metro station. Perhaps create a graphic showing exactly how easy it is to find the pension. Also the hostel is located just off the main plaza, but you do not get any street noise. I have been traveling for two months, and the most comfortable bed and bedding were at Pension lo Bilbao.

Very friendly staff! Loved the code key system and incredible sound insolation. The apartment is cleverly sectioned in several rooms and made cosy.

While arguably not every room in the apartment can have a window, it was a bit annoying that one room's window apparently led to an inner building space that also holds the end of a restaurant exhaust. Opening that window to ventilate the room meant to let in smells of fried food.

Perfect location!!! All the tapas bars and restaurants were around. The room Guggenheim was above the portico so from the window can see all the people hanging around. So nice!! And the room had good insulation from the outside noises. Very clean room and puffy towels.

The main door make noice when someone try to close it so it is a little bit difficult to sleep and relax.
