Residencia Universitaria Resa Blas De Otero

The residence is huge but looks quite empty. It’s good value for money; the room is clean, but the private bathroom is not comfortable, and it’s dark and dull, a bit more deteriorated than I expected. Not like the one shown in the main photos. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The real disadvantage is the location. It’s very close to the metro station and to the city centre and old town, but in a very rundown area, in a hostile environment. There are suspicious people all around.

Me sabe mal poner esta review negativa pero el ambiente era bastante hostil. Desconozco si fue por los días que estuvimos (finales de Aste Nagusia) pero el hostel tenía un ambiente hostil. Para quien vaya (especialmente si son chicas) es oportuno comentar que de noche es un barrio peligroso. La policía local nos comentó que era una de las dos calles más peligrosas de Bilbao. No nos sucedió nada, pero la tensión yendo para el hotel era terrible. Había también huéspedes raros… poco fiable

We stayed at the property despite negative reviews. Room was basic and at the time of a heat wave, there was no ventilation or air conditioning, as crowds were selling goods illegally outside. A frightening police raid took place, and drugs were found on the window shelf. Due to a lack of privacy and security, we moved to a hotel near the airport. The property is not recommended.
