Pensión Lo Bilbao

What guests think

At Pensión Lo Bilbao, reviewers highlight a very central Old Town location by Plaza Nueva that is ideal for sightseeing, generally clean and comfortable rooms with good beds, and straightforward self check-in, though nightlife and street cleaning can cause noise.

Rooms tend to be small or cozy, with a few units lacking windows and layouts that place bathrooms close to beds; air conditioning generally works, though one guest struggled to keep it running overnight. Housekeeping is frequently praised for cleanliness, and self check-in via codes is easy with helpful hosts, but a couple of reviews cite limited support or a serious mix-up with split reservations. Suited to travellers prioritizing convenience over space and full-service amenities.

Location was perfect, couldn't have asked for a better spot. Parking was surprisingly easy too, a large underground lot only a few minutes away by foot. Our host met us in person, he was very friendly and did a great job explaining everything. Room was cozy, clean, and well-equipped for a short stay. The bed was particularly great and much needed after a full day of walking.

Great location, clean room, very comfy bed. However, this place was not for me, the walls must be super thin, I could hear everything from other guests and their nighttime activities. I checked out early as what is the point of a place to sleep if you can’t sleep! As a result the cost of 2 nights accommodation was lost. I do not recommend this place. I gave the 2 stars for the location and clean, comfy bed.

Rooms are small but it’s exactly all I needed as I was out most of the time doing stuff! Bed was comfortable and the only issue I had was the air conditioner kept shutting off every 20mins, and with no windows to ventilate, the room became stuffy so I was getting up through the nights to reactivate it - hotel advised it was because I hadn’t set it right but I could t find any instructions on how to change it successfully and had it set for very cool. Location is the best one I’ve had in Spain, so even with the air condition issue I would stay again as it’s right at the plaza nueva with everything you need 5 steps away!

The apartment is in a lovely location in the old town. The checkin was convenient and it was good to use just one code to access all doors. The area felt safe. It is about a half hour walk to the major attractions like the Guggenheim and a bit further to the Central Station area. The room was small but quite comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

La reserva de dos noches la hice por separado: una noche por HOTELS.com y otra en la página de la pensión. Hice el único checK-in que me enviaron pensando que bastaría por ser dos noches seguidas, pero ellos no se dieron cuenta que tenía dos noches reservadas y procedieron a empacar y recoger todas mis cosas al finalizar el primer día (me llamaron mientras paseaba por Bilbao pero no me di cuenta). Hubo un fallo de su parte al no enviarme las dos hojas de registro (una por cada noche al reservar en páginas diferentes) y no recibir ni disculpas por no darse cuenta y sacarme las cosas de la habitación. Por otra parte, La habitación Arriaga tiene una ducha que lleva agua hacia la habitación por no tener puertas ni un brocal. Poco ruido, cama cómoda, aire acondicionado funcionando. Seguridad
