BYPILLOW Irala in Bilbao

Calm and lovely clean hotel. My only downfall would be not having reception available 24/7 and not sure about rest but my bedroom had no balcony. I do underetand they might have bedrooms with balcony, but in this day and age every hotel bedroom should have one

Good value & good location. 15-20 minutes walk to pretty much anywhere we wanted to go. Which in my opinion is perfect, especially at times when you have just eaten a big meal and need a little walk off time!

Has many supermarket options close by (a few less than 5 mins) which are useful for grabbing drinks & snacks before a siesta.

I think for its price it’s very fair, it’s a nice modern well located hotel. In places like England or Italy you would not get anything this nicely decorated for this price!

We stayed for 6 nights and only found there was a little noise outside on one or two nights. But this wasn’t a problem - it’s a city, people are enjoying life, what do you expect?! Other than that, it was extremely quiet.

The only criticism I have is that our room did not have a privacy sign for the door to let cleaners know it was occupied in the mornings. The cleaners start quite early so we felt a little pressured to be up and out early each day - though towards the end of the trip we saw another room had one on their door, so realised we probably should’ve just asked for one at reception.

The hotel conveniently located close to the center, to the grocery stores, in a relatively quiet street. My room was tiny, but had a refrigerator. I think the hotel is overpriced though.

The location is clean and quiet. The ensuite bathroom lacks heating and there's a bad smell coming from the shower drain.

Delay en check in

The hotel is well located and you can reach all neighbourhoods on foot within 15 minutes. The staff is very nice and courteous and the hotel is clean. Good wifi, kettle and mini fridge in the room. The room is
rather small but has good storage space for luggage. The hotel is rather ring-fenced and you can hear the
street and your room neighbours well - but this is normal for a city, especially at the weekend

This was a very good value stay. Comfortable bed with modern decor and very clean all over with a cosy double room. Would highly recommend if you are looking to be in Bilbao or prior to ferry crossings.
