69%Hostal Don Claudio

We had a problem with the booking and the staff was very helpful in sorting it out. Very clean and comfortable. Only two train stops from the bus station. Free computer and wireless were great. We would go there again.

Very hard to find when driving from directions given ... print a map. Construction site literally outside the window. No atmosphere, but not terrible if you just want somewhere to sleep for a few hours.

Not that hard to find if you come by the train mentioned in the directions from the train or bus station (just down the stairs and left). If you are coming from elsewhere, you really need either GPS or a detailed map of the outskirts of Bilbao. Choose only if you speak Spanish and have earplugs (the walls are sooo thin).close

Very out of the way. Hard to find even if you have a car (is too far out of the way to be on most maps of Bilbao, including the one they give you at reception!).

It is a really eay rife into the centre. The rooms at the front can get noisy though. We were looked after well. Practise basic Spanish phrases!

Directions were poor. Not near the center of the city but very accessible via train. Train comes often and is around the corner. Would help if there was a warning of when the last train from the city center came into Zorrotza. Very clean and comfortable although the noise level sucks. Walls...
