Hotel Vista Alegre

Overall:

"A value for money budget hotel, the staff were quite friendly and their english was sufficient, it is not in the most fashionable part of Bilbao, if all you want is a cheap room and breakfast (the coffee is good) then this hotel is for you." — source Venere

"The positives outweighed the negatives only because the hotel is well situated for exploring the city on foot, and Bilboa is a great place to visit." — source Venere

"Great place to stay at an affordable price. I will recommend this hotel to friends in the future." — source Venere

"However, we loved Bilbao, and I would recommend this hotel to others with the slight caveat about location." — source Venere

"Is a good hotel in a good place next to Toros Place so it´s easy to find if you get lost in Bilabo." — source Venere

Location:

"Location was away from Las Siete Calles town centre area, but thatÂ’s not really a problem, given the Guggenheim is an easy walk and taxis are really quite cheap." — source Expedia

"The hotel was close to the area (San Francisco) which was not recommended to go by the hotel staff." — source Venere

"Hotel Location fairly convenient for dicovering the city." — source Venere

Value:

"The hotel was OK for the price,62€ with taxes,however,on the Web site it stated that garage parking was available,it did not state that this was 6€/night/car extra,which at 42€/week is very expensive." — source Venere

"Price is high compared to other European cities (stayed for the same price in a much better hotel in Vienna), but seems to be rather normal for Bilbao standards." — source Venere

"But a bit noisy (rooms at front) and no breakfast included in Venere price." — source Venere

"low price, good place, nice people at the desk (speaking good english)." — source Venere

"The staff were friendly and the rooms were value for money." — source Venere

Room:

"the room smell very hard smoke ; the room was on the street side and this street was very noisy, all the night and very early in the morning. the réceptionnist don't tell us the situation of the room, that was a discovery , there was not coordination between the réceptionnist of the night and the réceptionnist of the day and the first don't ask the second that we don't take the parking of the hotel and we have to pay the parking." — source Venere

"Second thing: the rooms on the road side are very noisy and the walls are really thin, this can be a problem for people who don't sleep well." — source Venere

"Staff very helpful, would reccomend as a good place to stay, basic but that was all i was looking for when i booked the room." — source Venere

"Room (double booked) was very tiny and very very noisey from the bar/cafe below especially late night early morning." — source Venere
