Very Good

Very hard to find parking, no air conditioner available. Very noisy place. Friendly staff and a clean room although it’s too expensive for what this place offers to guests.
This is one of the Best. Cleanliness is the most important thing to me, and this place was immaculate.
It is two minutes from the train station, and I couldn't hear any train noises.
If I ever visit Bilbao again, I will definitely stay in this hotel again.
Basic room located right next to the Renfe Ceracanias train station. Served a purpose for one night. Quite pricey for what it was, but all of Bilbao's hotels rooms were more expensive than other places I stayed on my trip,

The room is not isolated at all, you can hear the neighbour room talking & laughing, even flushing the toilet....
Pension Don Claudio is a clean and tidy pension. We were happy with our room (though a note, given the heatwave, the rooms are not air conditioned - though all windows have shutters) and, importantly for us, there was free parking at the sports centre opposite. (The availability of the sports centre was a plus because we love swimming). It was also convenient for transport into town - the station is right behind the pension. However, the downside is that the Pension is a little out of town and so I might look for something more central if not needing parking. While local dining options were limited, there was a super little local restaurant offering decent food at a very good price.
La habitación bastante bien para tres personas , limpieza excelente , personal servicial . De seguro repetiremos . Aunque hay un poco de plaga algo que se debe resolver . Gracias por todo

Disliked: Room comfort
Habitación ruidosa tanto por el tráfico como por los trenes que pasan cerca. Paredes muy delgadas que hace que se oiga todo y también los portazos en las puertas. Lo de aparcamiento gratis es aparcar en la calle, no tiene aparcamiento propio y cuesta encontrar dónde aparcar.
Lo positivo la estación de tren al lado para llegar al centro de Bilbao en 10 min
Hotel cercano a la estación de tren
Personal amable
Baño propio y tenía cocina compartida por lo que podrías guardar cosas en el refrigerador y calentar tu comida
Tranquilo, cómodo, muy bien comunicado, posibilidad de aparcar y olvidarte del vehiculo. El barrio tiene de todo tipo de servicios en amplios horarios, posibilidad de bonitos paseos por la ría y los restos del pasado industrial del barrio

Bien localizado
Es una pensión funcional en el segundo piso con ascensor.
Habitación con baño cómodo.
El único pero... La ventana al abrirla para ventilar, casi se cae hacia adentro, la bisagra no tiene tornillos, puede generar un accidente.
Todo excelente, hay que tener en cuenta el check in que termina a las 10 de la noche. Yo iba a llegar media hora mas tarde y muy amablemente la chica me dijo que le marcase al llegar y ella iria a abrirme, pero no hubo necesidad , llegue justo las 10 pm e hize el check in . Hay elevador ( ascensor) que me facilito llefar a mi habitacion en pisos superiores. El baño compartido limpio siempre, en el cuarto una mesa grande con dos sillas comodas son utiles para colocar objetos personales. Me hospedare ahi mismo la proxima visita a Bilbao.
Hay parking publico y gratuito cerca. Todo bien. El único inconveniente es que para que te abran la puerta la primera vez llegas, tienes que llamar desde un portal contiguo al número 10. Deberían poner un aviso, pues se pasa mal pulsando el timbre en la dirección indicada sin que te contesté nadie.

En un principio nos pusieron en una habitación que había mal olor, en la segunda estancia que nos pusieron fue todo mejor, eso sí la limpieza estaba bien y la atención, pero eso sí pensión muy ruidosa.
