The key redeeming factor is location. You really are in the heart of it. However, you are also crammed into a tiny bedroom with hardly any room to walk around the foot of the bed, framed - quite literally - by Picasso's Guernica nightmare scene. Not very soothing! It's also pretty noisy at night - so best you join the party (we did)!
There's also no parking - but that's fair enough - they never said they would be. Expect to pay another Eu20/day for that and ready yourself for the 1/2 km walk with luggage.

One step up from a hostel
The main reason for my poor rating is the bed sheets. They were so rough it felt like I was lying on sand paper. I finally took them off the bed and slept wrapped in the duvet.
Bilbao is damp, and the hotel didn’t was dehumidifiers. I’d wake in the morning to a room where everything was wet. So wet I thought the roof must be leaking.
There is limited reception staff (no problem), but I was there 2 days before I saw anyone who worked there, and could ask for sheets that might be a bit softer. The answer was “no!”.

This quirky little pension in Bilbao's old town was only a 10-minute walk from the the main railway station and less than five from the nearest bus stop. But be prepared for walking up the 2 flights of stairs to the pension entrance. No double glazing, so sounds from outside carry - light sleepers should come equipped with earplugs. The pension is on a relatively quiet street with the nearest bar some 50 metres away. But the bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom (walk-in shower, not a bath) a good size and well equipped, efficient reception staff and an overall friendly vibe, with plenty of places to eat and drink close by. I'd happily stay there again, the next time I'm in Bilbao.

I loved the Pension Basque Boutique! It's in a great location in the the middle of Casco Viejo so lots of eating and drinking options very close by. Yes, it's not the quietist of spots but the double glazed windows do a lot to reduce the street noise and with the ear plugs provided the noise didn't disturb my sleep at all. The pension has a very chilled feel and as a solo female traveller I felt very safe there.
Staff are super friendly and helpful, in particular Vicki who gave me lots of suggestions of things to see in the city!
Would definitely recommend!

Would stay again
The receptionists were so lovely and helpful. The self check-in was easy and straightforward. The room was comfortable and clean. It’s located in old town, you have a pick of restaurants close-by. Anything good is in walking distance. 10/10 would recommend.

Loved the authentic feel of the property. The staff was helpful and location right in the middle of Casco Viejo/Old Town is perfect for enjoying local cuisine, beverages, and coffee. You can walk to most landmarks or use the tram. Excellent place to stay!

The pension was full of individuality and character. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. It was the only place we had stayed that provided hair straighteners as well as the usual amenities!

This is a small boutique hotel in the historical area. It was very quiet. The staff went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. There is no elevator so that could be a problem if you have large bags or mobility issues. Convenient to the metro (5 minute walk) Casco Viejo station and a bus ride from the airport.

Good value
Stayed in the basque room. Nice enough and a good location in the old town. Service was good and friendly staff. The room is a bit small and no where to easily put the case, that said the price is good value given the location

Good location in old town. Was concerned about the amount of noise mentioned in reviews but was not an issue. A fridge would be a good addition as would a mirror outwith the bathroom.

Only stay here if you have no wish to sleep. It is in an incredibly noisy area. The only sleep we got was from 8-10 am and when we asked for some extra time to check out we were told no. I would definitely not stay here again.
