Bilbao hostels

Pros: The staff are lovely and accommodating. The downstairs communal area is spacious and clean with an organised kitchen, and a cafe/bar right next door, if you don't feel like cooking. The location is great with only a two minute walk to the Guggenheim and the river promenade.

Cons: The rooms are very cramped. You barely have space to open your suitcase. And the walls are paper thin. You can hear everything in the neighbouring rooms.

Pros: Modern hostel, room was clean and the bed was comfy, would stay here again.

Pros: Wonderful breakfast !! Small price for excellent selection.

Pros: Friendly staffs Close to the airport bus stop.

Cons: - the height of the bottom of a bunk bed is too low. I sometimes bumped my head on the bed. - the fee for the washing machine was a little bit expensive. 5 EUR including a dryer and a detergent. - the number of bathrooms was not enough. - too noisy roommate, though this may not relate to the hostel.

Pros: Everything, crispy white sheets, clean, nice very helpful staff, absolutely value for money

Pros: Great location, close to the Old town where you can find a lot of bars and little shops. The metro station is 3 minute walk away. I supposed to be in a 8-bed dormitory and I got the 4-bed.

Cons: A real Hercule Poirot mystery: I was alone in the room for 3 nights and somebody, somehow, got in and stole my charging usb cable. I am sure I closed the door before I left. The ''thief'' left a package of napkins on the floor, next time be more careful. It was a really big problem since it happened on Sunday night and all the shops were closed. Fortunatelly, one of the guest borrowed me his cable and the guy on the reception was very helpful. I'm not accusing anyone, but the circumstances were very strange. I was sleeping on the upper bed which has a kind of shelf. There were dead insects and used ear cotton buds. The locker under the bed was so dirty, a lot of hair everywhere.

Pros: Very nice hostel, very Clean, nice Breakfast!!

Pros: Location is excellent. Just in the old town. There are many options and variety of restaurants near by. The metro station is also within walking distance. Very friendly stuff and good facilities.

Cons: Does not apply.

Pros: Good location, clean bathrooms, friendly people in the reception

Cons: Rooms are extremely small. There was no light in one of the bathrooms, I informed the reception but it was not fixed.

Pros: Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Room and bathroom were clean.

Pros: Great staff, location, breakfast, and atmosphere.

Cons: The bed was uncomfortable. I've stayed in many hostels, and this is the only one that ever gave me back pain. There were also wiring issues and so not all of the power outlets worked.

Pros: It was central, i could walk everywhere

Cons: The neighborhood was not nice

Pros: Decent bathroom

Cons: It is not my first hostel experience. And in general it’s ok. Bathroom was fine. I was not really lucky with neighbors coming back drunk late at night shouting, playing football with a trash-bin and throwing up... no respect at all.

Pros: Easy walk to train, old section, and river

Cons: The staff were excellent and the information about Bilbao was just so correct they knew where the museums were and the good restaurants were it made enjoying Bilbao very easy. The English levels of the staff were excellent as my level of Spanish is low.

Pros: Nice design and welcoming staff.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Staff were fantanic, very helpful and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. They advised me on best places to see.

Cons: The area was a bit unsafe.

Pros: The hostel is quite well located, close to station and the old town. The reception is very friendly. Overall the place is bright and clean, only the isolation is bad — you can clear hear people walking and talking from next door when staying in the room .

Cons: Poor isolation — you can clear hear people walking and talking from next door when staying in the room .

Pros: Staff are very kind, speaking to them when I first arrived they gave me all the basics of what was in Bilbao and the facilities in the hostel. There is also a free tour every weekend organised and led by a local journalist. A very nice guy who can speak a number of languages. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Pros: Wifi and clean rooms were positive things.

Cons: The neighborhood is completely terrible unless you enjoy the company of drugs and gangs and noisy refugees. its only 5 minutes from the center of the City, but because of location I really cannot suggest this hotel for my friends.

Pros: I like the secure feeling of the building and the rooms were spacious

Cons: The shower was terrible and potentially dangerous. When you turn in the shower it’s so easy to swipe the handle which can turn it off or turn the temperature up quickly. Also I feel the neighbourhood was a little dodgy and intimidating on occasion.

Pros: Friendly staff.

Cons: Location was terrible. Every night I had to make my way through shady guys and hookers. Noise at night. Breakfast was poor. Breakfast area was too small for all guests. Room was hot.

Pros: I'm sorry, but I can't think of any positives about this place

Cons: Extremely disappointing experience. I don't consider myslef a "fussy traveller", I have never complained in my life, but I thought it was important to raise issues about this place and, hopefully, prevent others from booking it... Despite travelling extensively all over the world, I have never had such bad "hotel" experience before - extremely rude staff that refused to serve breakfast within the breakfast allocated time, waited over 30 minutes to check out as there was only 1 person manning the entire place (no one was covering the reception whilst the receptionist was showing prospective students and parents around), only sheets but no bedding/covers provided, the area feels very unsafe and there is a lot of prostitution directly outside the halls and nearby. Information on website and booking.com is very inaccurate, please don't be fooled... This place should have never been advertised as "hotel". Stay away. Avoid. Do not book.

Pros: We are very satisfied: good location, near main place, good price-quality, free Internet

Pros: The helpfulness of the staff, the cleanliness of the whole place, the good location (close to the center and still rather quiet) and the fully equipped kitchen in the room!
