Hotel Bilbi

Hotel Bilbi is a budget hotel at Calle Miribilla 8 in the Miribilla district of Bilbao, Biscay, in Spain's Basque Country. Miribilla is a hillside neighbourhood south-east of the city centre, developed largely from the 1990s onwards, with modern apartment blocks, parks and the Bilbao Arena sports venue. Plaza Moyúa is about 1.1 kilometres away in a straight line, though the hilly terrain makes the walk steeper than the distance suggests, and buses, the metro and the tram connect the district to the Casco Viejo, Abando and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. The hotel is a modest, practical property that offers simple double and twin rooms with private bathrooms and standard amenities, rather than design or historic character. Its appeal lies in lower prices and a residential setting away from the tourist crowds, with views over the surrounding hills in some rooms. A breakfast service is typically available, and the neighbourhood has local bars, bakeries and small restaurants serving everyday Basque fare at lower prices than the old town. No spa or pool is listed. Service is friendly and low-key, and the hotel suits budget travellers, groups attending events at the arena, visitors with a car who want easier parking and those who prefer a quieter stay. Rates of about €30–€95 per night make it economical, though prices vary with the season and with large events in the district. Visitors relying on public transport should check bus and metro timetables, especially for late-evening returns from the old town, and consider a taxi when carrying luggage up the hill. The nearby Miribilla park offers green space and city views.
