Bilbao Hostellit

Plussat: The helpful staff, the mood of the place.

Miinukset: The location is a bit far from the metro station. My bed would squeak when I moved, and even more when someone was laying on the top bed. The lockers are in a small space cluttered by the air conditioning unit which makes accessing it inconvenient. I was in room 4.

Plussat: The place was spotloss and the owners really nice. The beds were comfortable and also the sanitary was perfect. There was a small breakfast and free coffee and tea all day. Also I really liked the vibe in the hostel. You need to decide how important location is for you. Besides I'd definitely recommend the place.

Miinukset: The location wasn't great for me. It was a 20min walk to the Guggenheim and a 40min walk to the old town. Also the busstation is 25minutes away. Even the metrostation is 600m away.

Plussat: Great value. Friendly staff. Spacious dorm. Plenty of charging points/socket extension leads. Quiet at night. Open plan communal area. Easy to meet people. Pleasant walk along river to centre. Free parking 5 mins walk.

Miinukset: No hooks right next to the showers or shelf in shower for toiletries etc (sorry forgot to write in suggestion box)

Plussat: Cleanliness and air conditioning

Miinukset: Location

Plussat: Perfect size for guests to start communication with each other and to get new friends. Staff were extraordinarily friendly and gave me a lot of Spanish lessons! I got many great people there and talked about different things.

Miinukset: The blanket could be better. Shower room was a bit difficult to use. More private space to put cloths on and off would be preferable.

Plussat: Lovely staff, comfortable beds and clean bathrooms.

Plussat: Nice and compact

Miinukset: Na

Plussat: The warm welcome when I arrived. The girl at reception has a very kind manner. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect nothing bad to say

Plussat: breakfast doesn't exist if you don't eat sugar. but can't expect more for the price. suprised they even had one.

Miinukset: roommates - too noisy beds - to noisy/squeeky could do better with more stress on Keep It Queit In Sleeping Dorms and replace beds for ones with solid frame

Plussat: This place is perfect, really lovely and helpful staff, very clean, good breakfast... a little bit of a walk (only ten mins!) to town. All in all everything you may need.

Plussat: The friendly staff

Miinukset: Room very small

Plussat: Sheets were crispy & clean! Separate women’s & men’s bathrooms - nice! Kitchen & lounge area great! Staff very helpful.

Plussat: Staff, location, common areas

Miinukset: Rooms were a little small

Miinukset: We booked accomodation and received confirmation. Unfortunatellly, when we arrived hostel was full, and receptionist had not our reservation in the system. Receptionist hardly spoke english, but he called to another hostel to help us. Even the booking was cancelled from hostel site, they were downloaded money from my credit card. My claim via booking. Com is in solutuon, but still dont have money back or answer within 4 days

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Very noisy, small room (cabin)

Plussat: Best staff ever! Perfect location for sightseeng.

Plussat: There was some issues with 4 other people's bookings, the guy at reception was doing his best to help them secure accom when town was nearly booked out. Did his best to help as much as possible. good breakfast. clean. bar with beer if host not busy sorting bookings out.

Miinukset: the walls are paper thin, inside and out, I could hear the street traffic and the internal lounge traffic. They have issues with their booking system, where 2 women had booked but they said there were no beds for them as they were not in system but then there were two beds in female dorm left vacant that night. Didn't affect me but felt sorry for the women, and other 2 guys.

Plussat: Sijainti ok

Miinukset: Vessan liukuovet eivät eristä ääntä!

Plussat: The welcome, the vibe and the extras: sheets, breakfast were excellent VFM

Miinukset: Room for 4 really small. It was hard to get organised. Not even room for chairs

Plussat: Very good breakfast. Very clean facilities.

Plussat: nice and helpful staff beer tap in the loby, so if you want so socialize without really going out, it is a good option

Miinukset: it is on camino, so you can expect a higher share of people waking up early :))

Plussat: Good customer attention, wide common areas and rooms, good place to store mobile phones and card near head while asleep, well connected via public transport.

Miinukset: Improvable mattress, absence of fridge for storing drinks and food in the room. Lockers are a little bit tricky to lock.

Plussat: Everything was fine! We can recommend it! Next time in BB again!

Plussat: The dorms are really spacious and when I was there all facilities (especially bathrooms) were very clean. I also saw people cleaning them throughout the day, thats a big plus. Next to that there is 24 hour reception and a simple breakfast.

Miinukset: This hostel lacks atmosphere, its fine to stay here if you want to do a quick visit of the city or if you are with friends. For travelers alone who are searching for social contact, this is not really the place in my opinion. Its very big and therefore a little cold. But the staff is friendly, and I think its a plus that there is a simple breakfast included (dont expect too much of this!). Also, locationwise its out of the center, but near a metro that takes you there in 10 minutes.

Plussat: The concept of the place is really awesome, and it is great that the hostel is accessible. There were some spaces outside the rooms that could be used for leisure, like a TV room and some terraces.

Miinukset: The space didn't have much personality, it has a kind of sterile feel. It is a bit of a walk from the centre (25 minutes). The bathrooms were often out of toilet paper, and the rooms were really hot at night.

Plussat: The rooms are big, spacious. The beds are very comfortable, each has its own plug, shelf and a reading light. The lockers are big and locked with your room key card. The hostel has its own garage which is always a plus when travelling by car. It is close to public transport and you get to the city center in just a couple of minutes. There is a lot of communal space and vending machines in the hostel. The breakfast was amazing! Fresh fruit, cereal, bread, pasteries, juices and coffee. It had everything we needed. The staff was really nice and helpful and for the first time in our roadtrip through northern Spain, they understood and spoke english!

Miinukset: The hostel is located next to subway tracks and the street and it can get extremely loud at night. At check in we were only given a sheet to cover with at night and we were freezing the first night. After we asked for a blanket they were happy to give them to us. There is also a lack of bathrooms, there is only one women's bathroom on the floor and a couple of mixed ones, which are always occupied because they are private and then the shared one gets very busy too.

Plussat: Very quietly

Miinukset: The place there is located

Plussat: Cleaning team is always cleaning. Modern look GOOD MATTRESS Large lockers

Miinukset: ● My individual nightstand light was not working ● Noise - Right next to 2 train tracks, one of the trains shakes the room and makes enough noise that you can't ear yourself. (I don't know the schedule but we all were woken up around 6 am) ● Noise - There is also a relatively calm road next to half of the rooms. ● Noise - Every room mechanism makes a lot of noise ● Parking was expensive (8€/day/car, 4€ motorcycle) and there was always an issue with either the gate not opening or the recepcionist forgetting to open the 2nd gate. ● This Hostel is 5km away from the centre of Bilbao which will force you to pay for transportation or bring your own. ● Check in is at a late hour but check out was at 10:30 a.m. which doesn't allow you to do anything on the leaving day. ● Breakfast is very poor, not even ham or cheese to make a sandwich. I paid 47€ for an individual bunk bed on a 6 person mixed room because of the local festival which i only took because i had to stay in Bilbao. Won't recommend even at the normal 19€ rate.

Miinukset: Air conditioning

Plussat: The hostel has a lots of facilities and a pretty good breakfast.

Miinukset: The kitchen space should be bigger and better organized considering the hostel size, especially as regard cooking plates and kitchenware. Sometimes the bathrooms were not very clean. It is far from the city center but you can easily catch the metro.

Plussat: Location is near metro, and it takes 5~10 minutes walk from hostel. There is MERCADONA near hostel far from 5 minutes walk. Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: Parking lot quantity is limited. It seems that domitory room has no air conditioner.

Plussat: Perfect location. Freindly helpful staff. Definitely made some improvements compared to what previous reviews have said

Miinukset: I bit of a sardine can

Plussat: Perfect location. Privatie bathroom attached to our room

Miinukset: The beds were quite firm and it had a hole in the middle

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Everthing execept location, especailly staff

Plussat: The owner/manager was extremely welcoming. There was always availability in at least 1 of the 3 toilets. The location is pretty incredible... Located within the Old Town/7 Calles District, you have lots of bars, restaurants and history within extremely easy reach. The room I was given was large, and reflected some age. Big original exposed wooden beams leant the room a romantic air...

Miinukset: One of my big main gripes, was that the walls are fairly thin; thus sound travels through the room with ease. This issue has been picked up by other reviewers. Also, the room whilst having no Air Con certainly needs a fan! It was extremely hot in this place; and at times felt like a sauna.

Plussat: loisto sijainti casco viejossa keskellä kaiken

Miinukset: kaik mänt hyvin

Plussat: Only the location! Fantastic, close to Metro and right smack in old town. Great wifi too.

Miinukset: Small, pokey noisy room. Clean enough. First two floors had to cover your nose because of awful smell of something dead or sewer? Want to be out most of the day. On the good side there’s lots to see in Bilbao.

Plussat: location excellent in centre of casco viejo

Miinukset: The room is subject to extensive nocturnal noise. Each night furniture was being dragged around upstairs until 01.30 in one instance. It stopped after I bellowed (further noise) up the steps. The road sweeper and water sprayer love the locality at 02.00. There are various shopkeepers and workmen who operate their roller shutters in the middle of the night. The internal doors all have a slam shut mechanism to operate the locks. Very few locals are able to talk in the lower decibel range when walking past. If you can sleep or have a skinful before retiring then it's a great place.

Plussat: Good location, in the middle of Bilbao surrounded by restaurants/bars/cafes/stores. Big room, cute balcony. Clean bathroom. Carrefour located right infront of the building.

Miinukset: Old building, no elevator. 4 levels of stairs, it was tough carrying suitcases all the way to the 2nd floor.1st floor smelt really bad. The room & bathroom were out dated. Bathtub was very small, water kept spilling on the bathroom floor. Pillows were not comfortable. No air conditioning, we barely got cool air from the balcony windows and had to listen to people partying, singing, arguing, yelling till 4- 5 am.

Plussat: Fantastic location, basic room but had more or less what you needed. Did provide soap or shampoo should do so as it’s not that expel. also no hair dryer .

Plussat: The location was perfect in the middle of Casco Viejo

Miinukset: The bathroom didn’t have a curtain , it had a blind that didn’t fully work , it felt a bit exposed having a shower . For the price of the room it seemed quite expensive. Some other guests were noisy, I didn’t see any staff .

Plussat: closeness to restaurants, bars, transport and transport

Miinukset: not much, no contact with the people who ran the pension. Was'nt sure how to contact if anything went wrong.
