A hostel in Basurto, Bilbao. About 2.2 km in a straight line from Plaza Moyúa.
Bilbao Hostel is a budget hostel at Carretera Basurto-Kastrexana 70, 48002 Bilbao, in the Basurto district of Bilbao in Spain's Basque Country. The address is about 2.2 km in a straight line from Plaza Moyúa, to the south-west of the city centre, on the road toward Kastrexana and the hills above the estuary. Basurto is a residential district best known as the home of the large Basurto hospital, and the setting is quieter and greener than the central districts, with hillside streets and more local than tourist activity. It is the furthest from the centre of the properties in this chunk, so travellers should plan on using public transport.
Hostels in Bilbao typically offer dorm beds and some private rooms at prices far below those of hotels, with budget accommodation generally ranging from about €30 to €95 per night depending on the room type, season and events. The specific room types, bed counts, shared spaces and extras at Bilbao Hostel are not documented here, so visitors should consult bilbaohostel.net for current details. Facilities such as a common room, kitchen or terrace are typical of hostels but should be confirmed rather than assumed.
Breakfast and meal options should be verified with the hostel. The surrounding district has neighbourhood bars, bakeries and small supermarkets, but visitors will generally travel to the Casco Viejo, Abando or Indautxu for the best pintxo bars and restaurants. The city's bus and tram networks connect the area with the centre and with the San Mamés stadium and metro station, which is relatively close and useful for football fans and for reaching the airport bus. Allow extra time for the journey into town in the evening.
The service character is informal and social, appealing to backpackers, hikers, solo travellers and groups who prefer a quieter location and lower price to proximity to the old town. Staff typically help with local transport, maps and ideas for excursions to the coast, San Sebastián and the surrounding hills. Guests who want an easy walk to the Guggenheim or the Siete Calles may prefer a central option, but for budget-minded visitors, Bilbao Hostel offers an economical base with a calmer atmosphere.
