Who This Residence Suits and Who It Does Not
Suits
- Students who prioritise having their own ensuite bathroom and do not need a shared kitchen or living space (only ensuite units are available).
- Those who value in-room air conditioning and a fridge, as these are provided.
- Residents who are comfortable with a location that is reachable by public transport but may feel less central or less safe, as noted by some reviewers.
- Short-term exchangers who are prepared for variable service quality — though review feedback is mixed, one guest noted that the front-desk staff can be helpful.
Does not suit
- Students on a tight budget: the minimum price is €759, significantly above the city’s starting point of €467.
- Anyone sensitive to personal safety or neighbourhood ambience. One reviewer described the area as uncomfortable, saying: “The area felt uncomfortable, especially at” (the comment is cut short, but the concern is clear).
- Those who expect consistently good service and respect for privacy. A three-month exchange student reported: “Staying at MiCampus has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had as an exchange student … What should have been a safe, supp” (the review ends mid-sentence, but the experience described is strongly negative).
- Students who need a variety of room types: the property offers only ensuites, no studios or shared apartments.
What residents actually say
- Positive: “Changed my review because the young guy on the counter is actually rather nice and the room is not too bad and there is some cutlery and dishes and towels. The balcony is a plus too and it wasn’t bad to get here on public transport.” (Shaun Wapples, Google rating 4)
- Negative: “I stayed at this property during a weekend when there was a big event in the city, so prices everywhere were unusually high. Unfortunately, this place increased its prices a lot as well, but it definitely does not match the value. The location is one of the biggest downsides.” (Alexandra Teresi Horvath, Google rating 1)
- Very negative: “Horrific Experience – Poor Staff Behavior and No Respect for Privacy … I’ve completed 1.5 months so far, and unfortunately still have another 1.5 months to go.” (Eshlyne Yap, Google rating 1)
These firsthand accounts suggest that while some guests found the room acceptable and staff pleasant on certain occasions, others experienced serious dissatisfaction with location value and staff conduct.
Price Positioning vs City Average
The city of Bilbao has four student properties listed through this platform, with a starting price of €467 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Micampus Bilbao’s minimum price is €759 per month, which is roughly 62% higher than that entry point.
The maximum quoted price of €1,224 places this residence firmly at the premium end for Bilbao. Whether this is justified depends on the individual room condition, floor, and additional services — but review feedback suggests that many residents feel the price does not match the quality, especially during high-demand periods.
The deposit amount is not listed in the available data, so you will need to confirm deposit terms directly with the operator. All prices are monthly, indicative, and subject to change for the 2026–2027 academic year.
Room Type and Amenities
Only one room type is offered: ensuite. This means a private bathroom within the room, but kitchen and living spaces (if any) are likely shared. The listing does not specify whether there is a shared kitchen or common area, so it is important to ask about this before booking.
Amenities confirmed in the data:
- Elevator
- Fridge in the room
- Air conditioning
Note that the property tag includes “not_available” — this may indicate that rooms are currently fully booked or temporarily off the market. If you are considering this residence for the 2026–2027 year, check directly with the operator for live availability.
Booking Timing Guidance
Because the property shows “not_available” as a tag and has no available-from date in the data, booking in advance is especially critical. If it becomes available for the 2026–2027 academic year, consider reserving as early as possible — ideally several months before your intended move-in month. However, given the mixed reviews and higher price point, also explore other Bilbao options with lower starting rents (from €467) before committing.
If you are a short-term exchanger (like the reviewer who stayed for three months), confirm cancellation and early move-out policies directly with the operator, as no deposit or minimum lease term is listed in the data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the location safe and convenient?
Based on reviews, opinions vary. One reviewer noted that “it wasn’t bad to get here on public transport,” while another called the area “uncomfortable, especially at” (likely referring to nighttime). The address is 40, 48004 Bilbo, which is in the eastern part of the city. We recommend visiting the area in person or checking local crime maps if safety is a priority. Contact the operator for specific access details and security measures.
What is included in the rent?
The data confirms an ensuite room with a fridge, air conditioning, and elevator access. The rent is quoted monthly, and no deposit amount is listed. It is unclear whether utilities (electricity, water, internet) are included or charged separately. You must ask the operator for a full breakdown of what is covered and any additional fees.
Can I cancel my booking if my plans change?
Neither a cancellation policy nor minimum lease term appears in the available data. Given the strongly negative review about “poor staff behavior and no respect for privacy,” it is prudent to request the cancellation terms in writing before paying any deposit or signing a contract. Some student residences allow free cancellation within a cooling-off period (e.g., 14 days after booking), but this is not guaranteed. Confirm this directly.
