Located in the heart of Bilbao Historic Centre, 100 metres from Santiago de Bilbao Cathedral, Quartier Bilbao Hostel offers rooms with free WiFi.

Including bunk beds, all rooms have individual reading lights and lockers. Bed linen is provided, and towels can be rented for an additional charge.

All the receptionists are absolutely awesome, I never thought that was important until I stayed here ! They are simply the best and really helpful whenever I wanted to ask questions, because they have great advice and are really happy to help you, give you info, directions, tips etc... Or just for chatting. The music is great too. The location couldn't be better either, bang in the middle of Casco Viejo. The beds are comfortable, with an individual light and outlets to charge the phone. The locker is big enough and you can ask to borrow a lock ! Breakfast is between 7:30 and 10:30 which in my opinion is great both for those who get up early and for those who like to sleep in (bread, butter, different jams, Nutella, tea, coffee, cereal, fruit and tomatoes sometimes, milk and soy milk) You also have you own code (take a pic!) to get in the hostel and then in your room and they are careful not to let strangers in, so the hostel stays calm. Good wifi and a confortable front room to get to know nice people or to get some work done. The kitchen has two microwaves, a small oven, a fridge, loads of plates mugs and glasses, a dish-washer... Apparently there's a common area/rooftop?

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    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.
