Avoid!! The worst ever!
In response to hostel's post:
I would like to appologize for my first short advice since it was not constructive and to add the clarification: I do not recommend the place since for 60 euro I received a different claustrofobic room (12 m2 instead of 20m2) and when I was talking to my boyfriend at 9 pm somebody was hitting the wall, at 4 am I was awakened by sb's conversation (continued by tv, preparation to sleep, and whispering) and at 8 am again awakened by child's running - all situations happened for the same reasons- the walls were so thin and there was joint ventilation system what cause that you could hear everything even if the guests were trying to be quiet). I've slept in many hostels, shared rooms included - this hostel was the most expensive, the loudest (although I had separate room and nobody was partying) and I was cheated with the picture of the room while booking (much bigger and nicer than that taken by me and posted here).

If you are looking for a multi people room please add one or two stars.
Private rooms are nothing like pictures (staff informed me that pictures are actually taken in other location, at least on booking site) and walls are thin as paper. I could literally hear person brushing teeth in common toilet two rooms down the hall. When people were returning in middle of the night, I knew exactly what they were talking about, witch channel was turned on on TV and so on. Same for phone calls. Did even manage to hear person on other end of the line, as speaker in phone was nice.
Another thing is that hostel is split to two areas, and I didn't receive keys for entering either one - reception had to manually let me in. Result was me standing in the rain, ringing bell like a maniac waiting to someone to open the door.. for breakfast at 9 am.
On the other hand staff was nice and smiling, location is also a plus and place has proper internet connection.
All in all - didn't get much sleep and I wish I had chosen another place for my stay in Bilbao.

The best thing about this hostel is it’s location! It’s in a really good area from where you can reach everything in Madrid - La Plaza de España it’s a very good metro station with a lot of connections but the cool places are close walking distance anyway so no need for it. The hostel is clean - they clean the bathroom pretty often and the room I was in was ok. The beds are very uncomfortable though and the pillows as well...not that much of a rest you can get here. But if you are planning to stay not for long in the room I think is fine.

Small hostel with breakfast for an extra 2 50 euros. Not bad, but not much atmosphere.

The hostel is sparkling clean! I've seen the place mopped twice per day and I was offered clean sheets with no extra charge! The staff are super friendly and available 24hrs!

Beds are comfortable and the rooms are cleaned every day but please turn off the TV outside them, some people sleep later than 9am!

Noisy rooms as hell (large road and tram nearby), and at 9am, they turn on a central TV in the lobby that can also be heard from all rooms. They also won't allow late check-outs for individuals within a particular room, which is unfortunate. Sadly not a place to come back to.

With 20 Euros one of the more expensive Albergues along the Camino but totally ok. It was August, close to the bus station. It is clean, reception is friendly, backyard was improved compared to other reviews where it was criticised. For me it was the perfect stay before going home.

Cheap, nice staff, close to the bus station. Common bathroom did not look clean.

It's nice for just sleeping there, but not all the electric points were working.

Very good option if you stay in Bilbao. The rooms (suites) are clean and functional. Breakfast is however... Well Spanish, white bread, marmelade and empty calories.

Great Hostel in a great location in Bilbao. New facilities and modern design. There is private yards where you can enjoy the sun during your stay in Bilbao.
Highly recommenced hostel if you are in Bilbao.. =)

Good location metro. Great price. Only issue was our room was right by the kitchen/living room area so lots of noise
