When we first arrived at this hotel it was late at night in July this year we thought the worst as the hotel is next to a couple of sex shops and at first it seemed a bit seedy. But after a good nights sleep the next day we were happy to see that the location is great. Supermarkets and... More

This is a no frills hotel, with friendly staff, who were keen to make sure I made the most of my trip to the city. Although not in the city centre, it is only a short walk away, and as a single female traveller, I felt perfectly safe in the area. There is also a very conveniently located nearby.

I stayed here for 3 nights with 2 friends. We had a friendly welcome. We all had single rooms. They were clean and had the usual facilities, including a small bath with plenty of hot water. Initially we thought our rooms were cold until we realised we could switch on the radiators; perhaps we should have been told this on... More

The hotel is good for the budget. It has wi-fi and the breakfast was OK. It is not located in the best area, you need to walk for 15-20minutes to reach the very centre of Bilbao. Though the staff were very friendly and helpful, the non smoking room we stayed did smell like tobacco. The walls are yellow/brown and so... More

It is far too expensive for what you get, it's a glorified hostel. Location is pretty good, but the staff is not attentive at all. If I had to do it again, I would not stay here.

I thought that with a name like 'Vista Alegre' the hotel might have pleasant rooms and nice views, but I shortly learned that the name refers instead to the district. Fair enough. But I had a depressing and poorly-lit room with a window facing an internal wall. I've travelled a lot in Spain, having stayed in the vast majority of... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights as part of a Christmas weekend away. Because of this the cost played a big role in where I chose to stay and the Vista Alegre is pretty cheap (I paid 96 euros for 2 nights). The location of the hotel is pretty good - within walking distance of the very pretty... More

Bilbao's hotels are a rather pricey lot when compared to those of other Spanish cities, and I see from other Trip Advisor reviews that many are located in no-go areas. This hotel is in a residential neighbourhood surrounded by apartment blocks. A large supermarket with sandwiches and cold drinks is conveniently close by: so is an internet café and several... More

I stayed at the Vista Alegre Hotel hotel for 4 nights. It is within walking distance to all the main attractions. My main hangups where: 1. The bath is far too small - only the size of a childs bath 2. The price seems too expensive. 3. Breakfast is too expensive. 4. The price I was quoted did not include... More
