Great fun staff, amazing breakfast, great beds.

This is not your plan B, this hostel should be your destination itself! It healed my trauma from previous shi**y hostels. It's small, so cosy and welcoming. Don't worry, if you're traveling alone - you can just hang out with the staff that seem never to run out of their social energy! Maybe it's a cliché by now, but it DOES feel like home and now I want to live in Bilbao! Also the staff listening even to quite unconventional requests was the cherry on top :)

I liked everything, the location, the room, the bed, the peace and quietness during the night, the kitchen and especially the staff, all very friendly and helpful.

Very central can walk everywhere. Cleanliness. Friendly staff. Bedding is superb, pillows amazing! Sheets crispy clean. My sister took a double room and I slept in the woman’s dorm. All my comments go for both. The double room light and spacious with own shower/ toilet. The dorms with bathroom and shower in the dorm so that you don’t need to go out if you need a bathroom at night. The kitchen very clean . Security optimum

Service of staff was great - very helpful. Beautiful views from the hostel with fresh air (because it’s located on top of the hill). Free breakfast included though it was alright only. Bed was comfy and clean. Very value for money.

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.

Great location in Bilbao. Yes, it's budget and the reception area would make you wonder about the rooms. But our room was excellent. Clean, comfortable and the bathroom was immaculate, even stocked with soap, shower gel and shampoo. This was the same price as its pitching tents in a campsite, so no complaints at all. Exceeded our expectations.
