“Casual Gurea impressed me with its prime location in Old Town Bilbao, mere steps from the cathedral and Arriaga Theatre; accessibility is a genuine highlight. The staff's personalized recommendations, like Patricia's, can truly enhance a visitor's experience of the city. While the rooms are basic, the common kitchen is a practical bonus for longer stays.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Casual Gurea enjoys a superb location in the heart of Casco Viejo, placing you steps away from Bilbao Cathedral and close to Metro and Tram stations, making city exploration easy. Guests appreciate the clean and comfortable rooms, some noting the convenience of a shared kitchen equipped with a microwave, fridge, and dining tables. While some guests have mentioned the noise from the wooden floors, the hotel's central location and proximity to amenities like a Carrefour Express and the reasonably priced Txoko restaurant, known for its menu del día, are commonly praised.

The receptionist was very nice and informative. The room was dark and quiet at night because it was on the fourth floor. I also appreciated the noon checkout. It gave me plenty of time. I found enough storage space for my belongings too.

fantastic stay in a central location

helpful staffkeyless entrycentral location
the staff were always ready to help. the keyless entry to the main areas and rooms was convenient. a lift provided easy access to all floors. cafes and shops were right outside the door, it was amazing
the floors made a bit of noise when walking around. it wasn't a major issue though.

The location worked so well! it was really central, i could walk everywhere. the staff were also super helpful. They helped me with directions and recommendations.
The floors creaked pretty badly. this made it hard to sleep when other guests were moving around. also, i thought a fridge should be in my room with some water. That would have been amazing but was missing.

the staff was friendly (which i appreciated) and always ready to help. the location was central, with access to many restaurants and shops. my room was spacious and clean.
the floorboards creaked loudly whenever someone walked by. the room lacked a refrigerator, which would have been useful for storing drinks. i found only one accessible plug socket in the entire room.

The staff was friendly and helpful. This met my expectations.
The wooden floors creaked terribly. I heard every step from other rooms. the bathroom door had no lock, frustrating. also, finding parking was a nightmare. It was quite a distance away and uphill, not ideal with luggage.
