Guest Reviews
Location
Many guests appreciate the accessibility afforded by nearby metro stops, which are just a short walk away, allowing for quick and efficient travel to central Bilbao and attractions such as the Guggenheim Museum and the San Mamés Stadium. Although not in the immediate city center, the establishment's location is often described as an ideal blend of tranquility and connectivity with several reviews highlighting enjoyable walks along the river promenade into the city.
Additionally, the location is advantageous for those traveling by car, offering easy parking options and smooth access to other towns and points of interest around Bilbao. Despite a few comments about the distance from the old town and some infrequent late-night transportation challenges, the overall sentiment is positive, emphasizing the value for money, quiet environment and practical amenities such as well-equipped kitchens and clean, modern accommodations.
In summary, Livensa Living Studios Bilbao strikes a balance between serenity and convenience, providing a well-connected base for visitors to comfortably explore the diverse attractions of Bilbao and beyond.
Breakfast
Some visitors emphasized the convenience of the room’s basic kitchenette, which allows for making coffee or tea and preparing small meals—an added flexibility for those preferring a homely touch to their mornings. Despite the lack of breakfast facilities, the presence of these nearby alternatives seems to make up for it to some extent.
A few reviews did mention the lack of certain amenities like a coffee machine or a more comprehensive set of kitchen items, which could have made the in-room breakfast experience more comfortable. However, the guests generally appreciated the location and the nearby options for morning meals, highlighting that this minor inconvenience didn't overshadow their overall positive experience.
Rooms
The furniture and facilities are brand new, contributing to a contemporary and inviting decor. Most guests appreciate the comfortable beds and spacious private bathrooms, which add to the overall comfort of the stay. The air conditioning and soundproofing enhance the quiet and cozy ambiance, although a few guests noted mild discomfort from temperature control issues and external noise.
For those prioritizing cleanliness and convenience, the daily cleaning service and well-maintained premises provide a reassuring touch. Additional amenities such as gym access and a large common area offer more comfort and convenience to the stay. The location is also well-connected with metro and bus stops nearby, making it easy to explore the city's attractions.
While some reviews highlight the small room size, many guests find them perfectly adequate for one or two people, appreciating the complete and compact nature of the apartments. The space is ideal for students or couples looking for a well-appointed, quiet place to stay. Overall, Livensa Living Studios Bilbao is highly recommended for its modern facilities, cleanliness and excellent value for money.
Beds
However, several guests found the mattresses to be too hard for their liking, describing them as very firm, which detracted from their comfort. Complaints about the beds being too small for two people were common with many commenting that the double beds were narrow, sometimes described as queen size but feeling even smaller. This issue was exacerbated by the fact that some beds were placed against the wall, making access inconvenient for couples.
Pillows were another concern with several guests finding them too low, thin or even compared to rolling papers, resulting in uncomfortable sleep. Some guests noted a need for extra pillows or more variety in firmness to enhance comfort.
Overall, while the beds at Livensa Living Studios Bilbao can offer a comfortable experience for solo travelers or those who prefer firmer mattresses, couples and those sensitive to pillow quality might find the sleeping arrangements less than ideal.
Cleanliness
While a few reviews mention areas for improvement, such as occasional dust or less frequent cleaning schedules, these are outliers in a sea of positive feedback. The overall sentiment affirms that Livensa Living Studios Bilbao is a top choice for travelers who prioritize cleanliness, modernity and comfort in their accommodations.
Staff
Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, there are some recurring concerns about the limited availability of reception staff with operating hours only from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM. This limitation has led to occasional difficulties in reaching staff by phone and delayed responses to immediate needs. Some guests experienced inconvenience regarding the check-in process and the need to fill out questionnaires before arrival, as well as instances where communication and responsiveness could be improved.
Overall, the staff's warm hospitality and readiness to help contribute significantly to the guests' positive experiences at Livensa Living Studios Bilbao, making them feel welcomed and well-taken care of throughout their stay.
Wi-Fi
However, there are some concerns. Accessing Wi-Fi can be cumbersome, as it requires registering on a platform, which some found complex and time-consuming. There were complaints about hidden fees and the need to subscribe to access what was initially advertised as free Wi-Fi. Furthermore, guests mentioned issues with connecting Wi-Fi to the TV, including difficulties in streaming services like Netflix.
In summary, while the Wi-Fi at Livensa Living Studios Bilbao generally performs well and is appreciated by many guests, the registration process and additional costs have caused some dissatisfaction.
Parking
However, the parking situation is not without its challenges. The garage cannot be reserved in advance and often fills up quickly, leaving some guests to find alternative parking solutions. Paid parking is available next to the building for €15 per day, which some guests found expensive. Additionally, street parking is complex due to Bilbao's regulated OTA zones, where only residents can park freely. There are also options for cheaper public parking nearby, but these can often be confusing due to unclear payment rules.
Despite these constraints, many guests found parking in the surrounding streets fairly easy, especially in green or blue zones where charges are nominal. There are nearby options like the Blue Zone L parking lot or the IMQ parking, both within walking distance, offering reasonably priced alternatives.
Overall, while parking at Livensa Living Studios Bilbao is generally accessible and convenient with several options, it requires a bit of planning and sometimes additional costs.
