ALSA receives praise for its punctuality and safe driving, with clean and comfortable buses equipped with air conditioning. However, some travelers have noted issues such as unclear boarding instructions, difficulties in changing or canceling tickets online, lack of assigned seating despite prior information suggesting otherwise, and closed restrooms on longer routes.

I've observed that Alsa is very punctual. This is so important because sometimes we need to change the destination. The drivers are helpful and kind. They announce all the necessary information. Alsa seats are comfortable. And, this is a plus point in the favour this company. I'll surely will use Alsa again

The bus was fine once I boarded . There were no visual information stating at which platform the bus departed from and staff to direct customers to their bus. No clear announcements in Spanish regarding which stop we were at. Even the Spanish didn't know where to get off.

Convenient, on time, professional service, appreciated the entertainment on board. Would have been more comfortable ride if the air conditioning was stronger and air circulation improved

Comfortable seat & prompt start but 1. Charged twice for the same journey, Lugo to Burgos. 3 connecting buses. 2. Signs at Burgos station said connecting bus for Burgos to Bilbao would be 15 min. late. 3. It didn't arrive at all. All alternative tickets to Bilbao were sold out. No staff available on the bus station , to help customers in the evenings. 4. Had to pay for overnight stay and extra meals in Burgos despite having already paid for the same in Bilbao. Have booked onto ( and again paid for) a bus to Bilbao, the following day. It will arrive more than 20 hours behind my original schedule.
