Roquefer Bilbao by gaiarooms

I loved the location and the fact that my room had two very pretty enclosed balconies, one looking onto the square in front of the cathedral, the other up the street beside the building. Lovely for people-watching and imagining that I was a Bilbao lady of many years ago drinking tea, eating cheesecake and watching what was going on! These enclosed balconies seem to be quite a feature of Bilbao. I have absolutely no problem with shared bathroom facilities. The room had a basin anyway, and there were 2 shared toilet/shower rooms. At no point did I encounter anyone wanting to use the toilet or shower when I did; to all intents and purposes they were mine! The electronic automated key thing worked excellently well; I had been a bit worried about it as I’m not very tech-savvy. However, I got in ok and was pleased to see that a key card had been left for me, which I could use on the internal doors. I had a lovely stay!

Central location

Noise from street

It was clean and comfortable with an excellent location

In my 4 day stay the room wasn’t cleaner or towels and linen changed. The entry system relies on having constant access to the internet and a fully charged phone. Not always the case.

Location/price

Lack of AC in Summer, noisy street at night, only one standing fan, very few pillows on each bed (only one). We wanted to open the windows at night to get some cool air, but people on the street were very noisy.
