The central station and other public transport options are also easily accessible, making it convenient for visitors coming from or going to the airport.
Moreover, the hotel's positioning on a hill and its surrounding streets might pose a slight challenge for some, yet this did not significantly detract from the overall positive experience reported by many guests.

Wi-Fi
However, there are also remarks highlighting some inconsistencies. Several guests noted weak or no WiFi signal in rooms with some describing the free WiFi as having a very poor connection or being undependable at times. Despite these drawbacks, the general consensus leans towards a more positive experience with WiFi in the public areas of the hotel and for those who placed their focus on the high-speed connectivity available.
Parking
Despite the availability of nearby parking garages and monitored parking spots, some travelers find parking challenging. The hotel's parking cannot be reserved in advance, leading to instances where guests must search for parking on their own, sometimes finding the spaces either expensive or inconveniently located. The difficulty in accessing certain parking areas, particularly during holidays or events, adds to the inconvenience.
While the private parking lot just a street away provides a solution, it's not always directly adjacent to the hotel and some guests have noted that the spaces can be narrow or not sufficient for larger vehicles. On the positive side, there is monitored public parking available about 100 meters away and street parking can sometimes be found near the hotel.
Overall, the proximity of parking facilities to the city center and the hotel itself is appreciated, yet the costs and sometimes complicated logistics are points of contention for some visitors. It’s recommended to clarify parking options and fees prior to arrival to ensure a smoother experience.
Family
Despite some shortcomings, such as the absence of baby cribs and elevators, the hotel compensates with family-friendly amenities, such as strollers for easier mobility. Its location is relatively central, although it is noted that some nearby areas may not be the best.
While the lack of morning staff and some inattentiveness have been pointed out, the setting is generally considered family-friendly and good for children. However, potential guests bringing young children should be mindful of these details to ensure they have a smooth stay. Overall with thoughtful use of space and a welcoming atmosphere, BYPILLOW Irala is great for family trips to Bilbao.
Nightlife
However, visitors should be prepared for the bustling ambiance that comes with staying in such an active area. The neighborhood tends to be noisy, particularly in the evenings with street sounds, loud neighbors and occasional disturbances from pedestrians contributing to a lively yet potentially disruptive atmosphere. Those sensitive to noise might find it challenging, as the rooms lack soundproofing and noises from the street and within the hotel can be quite prominent.
The neighborhood also has a reputation for being less than ideal at night with some guests expressing concerns over safety and the area's general feel after dark. While the hotel's location is convenient for nightlife, it's worth noting the potential for an unsafe ambiance in the surrounding streets late at night.
Despite these challenges, BYPILLOW Irala offers an advantageous starting point for those eager to dive into Bilbao's nightlife, providing both convenience and accessibility for an eventful stay in the city.
