  DECENT PLACE TO STAY WITH RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE

  30 May 2025

  As with every hostel I've ever stayed in there's good and bad points for them all, and this place is no different. On the plus side in no particular order is the welcome you get from Vicky, large free lockers in the room, the hostel is very clean, and the metro and buses are only a three minute walk away. There's a kitchen for you to utilise, there's free tea and coffee when available, and there's a kettle, microwave and toaster at your disposal. There is no breakfast available, but they do leave out some cake and biscuits in the mornings along with two jugs full of coffee if you can work out how to use the machine. There's a decent sized lounge area with a big screen TV, I think there's only three or four rooms so only forty guests maximum. I found the shower and toilets to be clean and there was a working vent in there so it wasn't like a sauna. I was here in May and I only paid £57 for three nights. On the negative side in no particular order was my room was a little squashed, it was hot while I was there and the room did not have AC nor was there a fan available. Having the small window open was not adequate enough for ventilation. I found there to be not enough sockets in the room for everyone and some of them were in positions no where near your bed. There was also no privacy as the beds did not have curtains. The beds also did not have night lights which is a real bad one for me as every time someone comes in late they have to turn on the main light and wake you up. Although there was nothing wrong with the facilities, there is only two showers and two toilets in both the male and female wash rooms which may be a problem when it's full in the summer months. As previously mentioned there is no breakfast as such. Although there is transport on your doorstep you are around twenty minutes away from the city centre. Checking in here can be a problem as they're not always at the hostel so you would need to check this if you're arriving outside of office hours. Overall I enjoyed my stay here at a cheap price and would recommend it here if you can put up with some of the negatives I've mentioned.

  Only stay here if you are ready to accept the hospitalero watching television loudly all afternoon and evening in the small common room. I will never return. Otherwise it is clean, well looked after although with out a cooler (microwaves available )

  Good Clean Camino Hostel

  27 Oct 2022

  Its a good option to walk to Portugalete and stay at this hostel. Well organised and clean. It has a good kitchen and washing facilities. Big numbers in the room but lots of space. Ample restaurants nearby.Its a very good option.

  Unsafe accommodation

  24 Jul 2019

  My son and I stayed at Bide ona recently and although the accommodation is clean and pleasant enough we would not recommend staying here as there is a huge problem with the lack of security. Although we were given swipe cards to enter the hostel it was not enough to keep out the homeless man who I woke at 3.30am to find looking brazenly through my neighbours belongings. I woke the girl he was stealing from and while the homeless man was in another room we looked for a night manager and found there was no one on the premises. My son dialled the phone number of the hostel twice and it rang out so we were totally without help. The next morning after a very sleepless and nervous night we spoke to the manager/owner of the hostel. He was initially quite rude and questioned my “story”. Once I continued and complained my sons headphones had been stolen he was still unconcerned and offered no apology that there was a thief in the hostel and that there seemed to be no security and as guests we had no way of contacting a member of staff overnight.His only suggestion was that I should have smashed the glass cover and activated the fire alarm at 4am. Due to the complete lack of interest by manager and No guarantee of personal safety I cannot recommend this hostel

  Loved, loved this Albergue!Martin and his wife are totally committed to giving peregrinos a wonderful experience. They put a lot of hard work into the little details that makes you feel valued as a guest.For example, there is every possible kind of tea and infusions for that you can freely use.The property is urban cool and very comfortable. It’s super clean and tidy.Breakfast is served on a tray for each person and the coffee is fantastic!
