Customer Reviews Bilbao - Blas de Otero
| 29 Jun 2011 Daniel, USA | 90% | |
| It's a very nice set of college dorms which are used as hostel rooms sometimes. As such you have free internet (no WIFI), your own bathroom with built-in clothes lines in case you need to wash clothing and all situated in a very new building close to the Casco Viejo.
The bad part is that this dorm/hostel is in a slightly shady neighborhood. Lots of drug deals going on in the surrounding streets and if you walk to the wrong end of the street you'll be surrounded by prostitutes, bordellos and felonious looking characters.
As long as you stay on the end of the street near the dorm and Calle Garcia Salazar you'll have no problems.
Finally, if you use Google Maps to give you directions to the hostel please be careful, in my case it indicated at the hostel was at the wrong end of the street, so I walked among the pimps and hookers for a while before being redirected by a friendly shopkeeper. | ||

| As YHA hostels go, this place was luxurious. It is a university dorm and my single room had its own shower,fully equipped kitchenette, and Ethernet. The downsides were: the neighborhood was a bit rough but I was reassured that it was "well regulated by the police" (I did get to observe an arrest on the street outside my room); my room was at street level and facing the street so it was noisy and cigarette smoke was always wafting in (I kept the window closed and used earplugs at night). But the advantages far outweighed any of these disadvantages. | ||
