    Maybe the bathroom isn't sufficient in rush hour.

    I liked the singularity felt on staying.

    Showers and toilets would deserve more care and cleanliness. Some of furniture, doors etc are just temporarily fixed. Capsule doors are quite noisy (it should be quiet area but then you're trying to open/close your capsule and wake up everybody) :) Please, install some table and clothes hooks to the area with lockers, this would be very helpful.

    Capsules are really small but definitely big enough for the concept they represent. They're also cosy and clean. Common/shared area (kitchen, dinning room) is ok, possible to work a bit there, prepare some food etc. Staff was nice and helpful. The hotel is 20 min walk to Guggenheim as well as to old town, 5 min walk to nearest metro station.

    The common areas are a bit worn out. The cleanness of my capsule could be better, they do not hover the "floor" where the door closes, it's full of dust and also ventilation was dusty.

    The staff was really nice. The location is convenient. The blender in the kitchen was a nice surprise! Overall it's fine for a 1_2nights stay

    Freezing cold in the lockers area, no space to dry your clothes apart from the locker or the bed and it rains frequently in Bilbao.

    It's a good option to stay in Bilbao for a good price. The capsules are pretty spacious and comfortable for 2 people.

    It would be better if there were more than one phone charger in the capsule. Bathroom sinks weren't clean enough and it gave an overall dirty look.

    Very quiet atmosphere and comfortable bed.

    Emphasis was placed on silence in the dorms, which was adhered to by the guests. However, the capsules themselves are not at all soundproof, so the noise of doors and capsules opening or people snoring could be easily heard.

    A cool capsule design that is very nicely implemented. All areas were clean and spacious, capsules felt very private. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hostel is quite conveniently located 10 min walk from the main bus station and 15-20 min walk from the city centre, with public transport options also available.

    Locker space and limited area to arrange clothes or items required. Needs an ante room, especially for women to get ready, guys need space too. It I was thinking about makeup etc. The quiet sleeping area and pods themselves were not suitable for this purpose.

    Great location-handy for metro Indautxu, local buses & transport to wider region. Close to many amenities a plethora of gyms, parks, shops & eateries. Staff were very helpful, friendly & knowledgeable. I was impressed by the calming nature of the Pod sleeping area, kitchen, dining and lounge facilities were excellent. Lovely showers with bathing solution provided. Cleaners kept the place spick & span. A series of benches on the street provided a relaxing environment to chill at any time of the day and night. Felt safe at all times.

    The inside area was small, small area in bathrooms, sleeping quarters and near the lockers. Also, you can hear the doors on the capsules open/close, so it’s not that quiet.

    It was about a 10 minute walk from the Intermodal bus station which was convenient. I liked that they had sleeping capsules as I wanted to try them out.

    The lockers are a bit small, so there isn’t so much space to leave your things. The bathrooms could use some touching up. It can also get a bit crowded in the common areas at times (lockers, bathroom, etc.).

    I really like the capsule concept. Provides privacy and comfort, while being budget friendly. The capsules have plenty of charging options and a TV, which is really nice. The staff is amazing; very friendly and helpful!
