Very relaxed. Fantastic that it has an eatery attached. Rachel at checkout was amazing: so friendly and accommodating with a great sense of humor. The next day, the gentlemen working at the desk was so sweet: he asked if I was cold and offered me a sweatshirt.

Bilbao Hostel is set next to the A8 Motorway and is 10 minutes’ drive from central Bilbao. Surrounded by gardens and sports grounds, this hostel features a buffet restaurant and a 24-hour reception.

Each modern room and dorm at Bilbao Hostel has heating, a desk and a private or shared bathroom. All accommodation offers views of Bilbao.

Bilbao Hostel is an excellent choice, very nice and well run, but let’s get the one negative out of the way right now: If you plan on cooking your own meals, well... go somewhere else. The communal kitchen, potentially shared among 170 guests, isn’t even suitable for preparing one person’s meal. The total cooking facilities consist of one induction burner and two small microwaves, one of which was broken during my stay. No pots and pans, no cutlery, no can opener, no corkscrew, nothing. Yes, you can get a small frying pan, a modest cooking pot, and one place setting for a €30 deposit, but with only one heating element, what’s the point? OK, if you plan on always eating out or just heating take out food, this is no problem and the rest of this high rise, 8 floor, hostel is great. Shared rooms are 4 or 6 beds, very clean, and typically but not super-cheaply priced (I paid €26/person in late October before 10% Genius discount). The property is beautiful, with an expansive view of Bilbao through the many large windows, large outdoor areas, plenty of free parking, a parking lot for motor homes, unshared rooms available, and at 170 beds, much more capacity than the typical hostel. In the off season, you have a reasonable chance of having a dormitory room to yourself. There is a generous noon deadline for vacating your room and you're still free to stay in the public areas after that. There are several comfortable public spaces (although the nicest lounge is reserved for employees, and usually empty), the included breakfast is all you can eat and above average (but notably lacking any fresh fruit), you can do your laundry (extra fee), and the 24 hour desk means you can arrive anytime.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It’s in a convenient location (e.g. close to the bus station, walkable distance to Guggenheim museum, shopping district, old town). Pretty good for a budget hotel. My room didn’t come with a boiler or safe box. You can ask for hair dryer and iron at the counter. The staff, especially Jabier, was friendly and helpful.
