Very Broken Down
Most of the lockers were broken and you could not truly secure your belongings while you were out. The beds were not comfortable and the very limited electric receptacles were inconveniently located and ususlly being used; several of the secure charging lockers were out of order. The location is great, just across the river from the Guggenheim and reasonably walkable to other sights.

This is a youth hostel and as such the youth does not clean after themselves. I guess their moms are coming by later to clean up after them. On the plus side nice staff lots of coffee and great view/location. The people here are very nice and very helpful and there is always bread to snack on.

Conveniently Located Hostel
I stayed at Botxo Gallery for one night to attend the Art After Dark event at the Guggeinheim. The hostel is very conveniently located (10 min walk away from the museum). Because there were so many people in the room, my group found that the room came with a slight smell. Other than that, the hostel was clean.
Other things to note: lockers available, bathrooms and rooms are coed, simple breakfast included.

Staff were friendly, not on site overnight though. There are two big dorm rooms with triple deck bunk-beds. In desperate need of a make over. Website pictures are not an accurate reflection. If you're looking purely for a bed for the night and cost is your only consideration then this is a decent option. I'd suggest spending a few quid extra a night and getting a significant upgrade. The rooms are dirty, the mattresses pretty ripe and you are crammed in, now know what submariners feel like. I have hostelled it before, this is up there with the worst of them

A real nightmare & ripped off. Dont ever stay in.
Place was crowded no beds avail at check in, too noisy, nobody to complaint or to answer questions, thats what I call a real ripped off. Had to booked for other hotel to spend the night. Price was like 3 or 4 stars hotel 109.00 eu. Per night. i rather stay outside street than stay in Botxo hostel. Why Hotels.com offer that kind of place? did not call hotel.com that night because too tire & to not mess up the vacation. Never stayed & got charge anyway without spend the night there.

Good hostel, close to everything!
This hostel is a great place to stay if you are looking for budget accomodation, proximity to city and points of interest, and a communal, hostel experience.
We stayed here four days in october and really appreciated the helpful people working there and the open kitchen with place to keep and prepare our own food. Bread and coffee were available throughout the day and we also appreciated that.
The rooms are dorms. You have to clean up after yourself and be considerate of others as there is not a lot of private space. Even the bothroom is communal.
If you are looking for concierge service and housekeeping, do not stay here!

Horrible - charged me but did not provide bed
I informed them by email that I was going to arrive late, they responded that they would leave my information for me. I arrived and used the code to enter, but there was no information for me regarding my room and bunk #. There was info for another person, but not for me. I had no way of knowing which room or bunk I was to use. I had to use internet to search for somewhere else to stay that had 24 hr reception. I then had to walk for an hour and a half to reach it, as well as pay a large amount of money for the room. I contacted the hostel to inform them that they had not provided my information, but they haven't responded.
