Livensa Living Studios Bilbao

The room felt more like a hotel room than I expected, with a soft bed and air conditioning that has several settings. The cleaner changes the sheets, blanket, and pillow once a week. There are sockets all over: by the bed, around the kitchen, under the desk, and even in the bathroom and near the entrance. The bathroom is small but cozy, and the kitchen has enough for one person, including an electric stove, oven, microwave, vent, knives, cutlery, a pot and pan, glasses, a bowl, and plates. There's also a smart TV with HDMI, YouTube, and Netflix. Staff speak Spanish as their first language; some speak English well, but how much help you can get in English depends on who's at reception. I saw friends receive parcels and letters there after including their room number in the address. I didn't try it myself, so ask reception for details.

The public parking lot nearby was very convenient and cheaper than the hotel's parking. The apartments are quite good and have a kitchen. Just keep in mind that the room is cleaned and towels changed every four days.

For this price, I can't fault it. The room was compact but well laid out, spotlessly clean, and had a comfortable bed. The shower was powerful and stayed hot, the kitchen had what I needed, and WiFi was free. Best budget place I've stayed in.

Such a little gem 😍 We loved staying here and will come back.
