Great location near the city centre, a tram stop and the main train station. The hostal itself is a bit wacky in terms of decoration but totally clean and good value. Wasn't wild about the lino floor throughout but for 55euros per night you can't win 'em all. Very nice staff too. more

Really great pension. Excellent location, right by a tram stop. so easy to get to all the sights from here. Room was big enough, really clean and a spotless bathroom. Staff were really helpful and free wi fi is always handy! Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again. more

Great hostel with a fantastic location just around the corner from the train station (though keep a look out on the street - it isn't well signposted). Our room (we booked the mini suite) was huge, with an enormous bathroom. The front desk staff all spoke english and were very helpful. Free wifi (ask for a ticket at the desk).... more

A friend and I stayed at the Begona on April 14 and 15. This is a wonderful hostal located right across the bridge from the Casco Viejo, a beautiful section of Bilbao with many restaurants and bars. The Begona is right near the Abando Metro and train stations. We had a spacious double (two twin beds) towards the back to... more

Stayed here 1/9/07 for one night. Room 104. Paid 71 Euro prpn room only. Booked through hotel website.

Stayed here the week after Easter and it was ideal. The decor is bright and cheerful, the rooms sizeable and immaculate. There is a guest lounge with reading material and internet to use and a tea/coffee maker. The staff spoke excellent English and went out of their way to be helpful. It is next to the tram stop and metro... more

Having gotten the name from Lonely Planet, I have now stayed here twice, and must caution to be careful what room you get. The first time I had a large, quiet, very comfortable room. I totally agree with the good reviews here. That's why I came back. The second time they put me in a small, cramped room, at the... more

I stayed here from the 8th - 10th November 2006 when I went on a trip with my school. Compared to what the school usually book for something of this price I was deeply surprised at how nice it was! The rooms were just the right size and very nice. Some rooms have a balcony but the ones that don't... more
