Everything was very clean and tidy! The hostel has everything you need at your disposal, even women hygiene products for a non expected moment. I really appreciated the detail. Loved the whole experience since the beginning. The staff was always reachable via WhatsApp which was very reassuring. Definitely a place I know I can star in Bilbao and will surely recommend!

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.

A very nice hostel with a style. Very respectful and kind staff. They assure that people can get a good sleep closing the kitchen around 11pm and asking for quiet. Everything was in a good condition and there was enough space. Ah, and the breakfast is a very nice touch.

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.

    The hotel is on the edge of the old town so a great location. The rooms were quite small but we knew that when we booked and more than adequate for a short stay. The bathroom was nice and very clean, the whole place is very clean. They also kept our luggage safe as we arrived prior to check in. Despite it's location there was no noise to disturb us at night

    Very cheap, so perfect if you just need a simple hostel, basically just a bed to sleep in, a little kitchen and common room. You're definitely not paying for extra facilities. Lots of backpackers doing el camino, all ages, but not really a social hostel. Quiet and most people are in bed early which is nice.
