LATROUPE La Granja, hotel in Bilbao

In a prime location in the centre of Bilbao, LATROUPE La Granja provides air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a bar.

Unbeatable location. Comfortable bed. I am 63 years old and didn't like the thought of being assigned an upper bed. But I grew to love it after the first night and stayed there for another 3 nights although I was allowed to move to a floor level bed. The upper bed makes no noise when you move around. And it is very quiet whereas there are noisy storage drawers being opened / closed below the floor level beds.

Albergue Areitz Soroa, hotel in Bilbao

Areitz Soroa is located in the most beautiful and quiet valley of Bizkaia, in the municipality of Galdames.

This is a magical place, you feel like you're away from everything while you're only a 20 mins drive from the beach and 30 minutes drive from Bilbao centre. Friendly, warm owners, HUGE family room, organic garden, farm animals and delicious breakfast with homemade cake. We were sad to leave.

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.

    Small room. Good option for overnight sleep, if you don't plan to spend much time at room or hostel. One of the cheapest options in Bilbao. Location is quite good, close the bus station and touristic parts of city are easily reachable even by foot. Bathroom was clean (but also small).

    I spent one week in Ibis Budget Bilbao City where the staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel has a great location being 5 min away from the Intermodal bus station, 20 min walk to Guggenheim Museum and close to an aldi. The breakfast was delicious at a reasonable price of 8€. The room was big and had a very comfortable bed. Totally recommend, had a wonderful stay in Bilbao.

    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.
