Hostels in Basque Country, Spain

To start with the positives this hostel is located very centrally only 5 minutes from both the Old Town and the beach. The space is kept incredibly clean and there is a complimentary coffee machine for guests to use. The lady at the front desk was also incredibly accommodating helping me locate a shop to buy a towel. However the quality of sleep I got was terrible. The beds themselves are very comfortable with good bedding, however the noise and the concept of the room was not good. Each guest is given a pod like wooden bed with a drawer underneath and access to a locker downstairs. There is only one room at the hostel with all 24 beds in there. I felt that at around €70 a night making this a high end hostel there should not have been so many beds in one room. The constant noise throughout the night kept me awake as the drawers under the bed and the blinds used to draw over the pods made loud wooshing/ banging nosies. The noise travelled and was pretty consistent on both nights. Each pod is provided with noise proof headphones however mine were out of charge and there was no way to charge them. As a heads up the hostel does provide use of a towel for €5 however they had run out when I arrived at the hostel so I had to go and buy one. Overall a clean hostel in an excellent location, with a lovely lady on the front desk, however I would not stay again due to the noise that I felt went above the expected level at a hostel like this.

I am satisfied with my one night stay in this hostel. We booked a 6 bed female dorm and we were just 3 which was good. It was spacious and the bathroom inside it is also big. People at the reception were kind and answered our questions about the public transport and let my friend leave her luggage there after check out. The hostel works with a code for the main door and one for the bedroom door. Our only complaint was the beds which made noise when we moved. So it can easily wake others up. And also the location is a bit strange but very central.

This is a great hostel. It is clean, they provide very nice breakfast choices as part of the booking. The wash rooms are very clean, showers work great too. They emphasise the need to conserve water and use recycled toilet paper. The staff are really excellent. On every occasion I spoke with someone, they were great, even when they are busy. I have stayed here twice. In 2017 after a Camino hike, and in 2020. It remains the one the best places I've stayed. They have a nice patio area, you can buy a beer from the reception if you fancy, and the supermarket is on the corner. The beach is minutes away (as is the Camino). Overall, full marks!!! I would stay again, and likely will.

i found this hostel to be a brilliant place to stay and wouldn't change a thing. i stayed for 2 nights in august. firstly, the woman on reception was LOVELY and very helpful answering any questions and so nice just to chat to. the location was perfect, in the old town so many great bars with great atmosphere very close and not far walking to the main plaza. i recommend la gilderia 3mins away for a vermouth and delicious pintxos. as long as you don't expect any fancy touches (bring your own toothpaste / soap / towel, no breakfast (but a fully functioning kitchen) then this will work great for you and for the price (23 euros) it was very good value. i actually had a whole dormitory to myself plus a clean bathroom with a good shower, and locker for safe keeping. very much recommended

Stayed one night only - unfortunately very poor value for money and would not recommend. Stayed in a 6 bedroom dorm, very limited space, I was in lower bunk 1F which I would not recommend as it is directly next to the bathroom door. Unable to use assigned locker as no space to open door without compromising personal space of other people. Worst hostel stay over past 10 days - checked out and found cheaper, better hostel elsewhere in Bilbao. Check in host allowed me to stay in common area in advance of formal check in which is only reason this rates a 2, not a 1. Also just one ensuite toilet / shower not adequate for 6 people in the morning, so otherwise have to go downstairs in common area if you need to use bathroom.

The hostel has very clean multibed rooms. The bed was also very clean. Unfortunately the bed was for my size a few centimeters too short. There was nothing to make at the cleanness of the sanitation facilities. The community bathroom and shower were very clean. The breakfast was very simple but feeling sufficient. Very clean breakfast room and also very clean living room with large flat-screen TV. The staff was very nice and friendly and helpful. The staff also speaks English. Credit card payment is also possible. Two chairs are also available. Completely disabled-fitted. Super. There are sufficient parking facilities on the ground floor of the youth hostel. Different drinking and sucking machines were also available. 24Stunden Reception. The views, restaurants, city centre, churches and museums cannot be reached on foot. Bus No. 28 is just in front of the house and is going to the city centre. I had my room on the 7th floor. From there you had (just in the night) a spectacular view of the city. It simply radiated everything. Very wonderful. Want to stay there again in any case, provided I am in Bilbao. Good and cheap. But a super youth hostel.

My recent stay at Green Nest Hostel left me with mixed feelings. The decision to choose this hostel was primarily driven by its competitive pricing compared to other options in the area, and the presence of free parking and Wi-Fi. On the positive side, the availability of free parking and Wi-Fi was a definite plus, especially after a long drive. However, there was a notable drawback that significantly impacted my stay - the mosquito situation. The room lacked air conditioning, and with a desire for fresh air, I opened the window. Unfortunately, this decision led to an invasion of mosquitoes that made it nearly impossible to sleep comfortably. It's important for future guests to be aware of this issue, especially if staying during warmer months.

We had a great time, we went as a family to a comfortable and clean room. The location is very good in the old neighborhood and close to the beach. The owner was very attentive and friendly, she treated us very well, super attentive. Our room had a shared bathroom which was no problem as it was very clean and had everything you needed. Excellent price-quality ratio

I was emailed a code to get into the property, there was no one on reception to welcome me. I booked in a hurry and my bad, didnt realise this is a digital property, I have never heard of such a thing. I managed to get into the building, found the room numbering system very confusing, the lovely cleaning man who spoke no English assisted me to my room where we discovered my door code would not open the dorm room door. After ten tries he went and got a card and I managed to open at door. It was at this point that an ungodly stench, reminiscent of a football team locker room after a game, hit me in the face. It was absolutely disgusting. There were five sweaty guys in their marinating in each others stench. It was after midnight, I was exhausted, I went to bed. Immediately in the morning I went to the front desk and asked to be moved, there was a bit of mucking about because the lovely girl there was only admin and had to call someone else who had to call me back...the answer was pretty straight - You booked a share room, deal with it. I asked for a refund and was told No. I took breakfast which was extremely basic. I had to return to the room, opened the curtains and the window as wide as it would go to air the room out. I'd say this place isn't bad unless you have an issue, then you are on your own. The facilities are pretty average. They have only one washing machine and dryer for the entire hostel and the bathrooms on my floor, the toilet was half broken and only one out of two showers had a door that locked. It is quite far from the center of town. To top it off, I had twice emailed the hostel to advise I have a disability and require a bottom bunk and to ask if they have a private fridge where I could store my medication. They never responded and my meds need to be in the fridge, I had no choice but to leave them in the very small and hardly sterile or secure, common room fridge. When I retrieved the bag on the last day, more than half my medicine was missing. Very expensive and much needed medicine. I came away with a six month supply, now reduced to six weeks and I can not afford to replace them. Not a happy camper but what can you do ? I left but hey, it is cheap and you might have a better experience.

The hotel is very friendly and comfortable, the hotel is very friendly and functional, it is expensive to be a hostel but normal for the city prices. It is far from the center but that doesn't matter because we like walking. It's gonna be 30 minutes walking to the center. The rooms were not well ventilated and the flavours were insupportable. It's very good to see the rooms and the rooms are very good to see the rooms and the rooms are very good to see the rooms. The atmosphere is good, they offer you coffee and cookies and the showers are good, but you wouldn't come back because you don't sleep well.

A beautiful place, with views of the mountain and the sanctuary of Loiola.
