Farfuglaheimili í Bilbao

The room was beautiful, the nicest I've seen in a hostel, with a very roomy, modern shower. The bed was very comfortable and I loved the curtains. The common areas are also very comfortable and there was a friendly vibe everywhere.

Good mood, good food and the employees were super nice and already available go give good tips (like places to eat typical food or suggestions for faster roads to the places). The breakfast was very complete and have also vegan/vegetarian options which is awesome. The location is top, near everything by walking. And a plus, when you do the checkout they let you store your baggage until its time for you to leave so you can go for a last minute souvenir buy or visit something more you couldn't. Definitely recommend this hostel. 👌

I liked everything, the location, the room, the bed, the peace and quietness during the night, the kitchen and especially the staff, all very friendly and helpful.

Very central can walk everywhere. Cleanliness. Friendly staff. Bedding is superb, pillows amazing! Sheets crispy clean. My sister took a double room and I slept in the woman’s dorm. All my comments go for both. The double room light and spacious with own shower/ toilet. The dorms with bathroom and shower in the dorm so that you don’t need to go out if you need a bathroom at night. The kitchen very clean . Security optimum

Super friendly and helpful staff. Great location on the Camino del Norte (camino arrow is across the street from front door). I think it Is one of the first hostel accommodation places as you come into Bilbao from Gernika. Modern decor. Free breakfast (juice, muffins, museli, cornflakes, chocolate flakes type cereal, toast with 4 types of jam and honey). Bunkroom had large locker (use own padlock or can borrow a lock from reception). Clean linen (make up own bed). Locker has a power point inside for charging. Has kitchen, dining and lounge areas (which also have charging points). Bunk bed was stable and comfortable (no problem if other person on other bunk turns over) and a privacy screen on one side. Bunkroom had huge windows with views of the Begoña Basilica and the windows open wide for fresh air. Bunkroom was quiet in the night. Eroski supermarket few minutes walk away. On-site hostel laundry not working but modern self service laundromat (El Calcetin Perdido) just near Eroski supermarket about 5min walk from hostel. €7 wash, €3 dry for 16mins. Showers on a timer, (but can push button again if need more water) bathroom light is also on a timer. It is a little up the hill from the old town but I didn't find the hill a problem. Great wifi. Used the correos luggage transfer service to /from this hostel and it went smoothly.

Bilbao Hostel is an excellent choice, very nice and well run, but let’s get the one negative out of the way right now: If you plan on cooking your own meals, well... go somewhere else. The communal kitchen, potentially shared among 170 guests, isn’t even suitable for preparing one person’s meal. The total cooking facilities consist of one induction burner and two small microwaves, one of which was broken during my stay. No pots and pans, no cutlery, no can opener, no corkscrew, nothing. Yes, you can get a small frying pan, a modest cooking pot, and one place setting for a €30 deposit, but with only one heating element, what’s the point? OK, if you plan on always eating out or just heating take out food, this is no problem and the rest of this high rise, 8 floor, hostel is great. Shared rooms are 4 or 6 beds, very clean, and typically but not super-cheaply priced (I paid €26/person in late October before 10% Genius discount). The property is beautiful, with an expansive view of Bilbao through the many large windows, large outdoor areas, plenty of free parking, a parking lot for motor homes, unshared rooms available, and at 170 beds, much more capacity than the typical hostel. In the off season, you have a reasonable chance of having a dormitory room to yourself. There is a generous noon deadline for vacating your room and you're still free to stay in the public areas after that. There are several comfortable public spaces (although the nicest lounge is reserved for employees, and usually empty), the included breakfast is all you can eat and above average (but notably lacking any fresh fruit), you can do your laundry (extra fee), and the 24 hour desk means you can arrive anytime.
