Nice, clean hostel with friendly stuff how will give you all the information you need and recommend you places to go and see. It's not in the center but the metro station is really close. Or if you prefer (like I do) you can walk.

It's a small hostel, and pretty quiet. It's located outside of the centre, but Bilbao isn't a large city so getting into town isn't much of a problem - around a 20-30 minute walk or a very short metro ride. The metro station is pretty close. Taxis are cheap as well. The staff were friendly enough and speak good English.... More

I may have stayed in more than 50 hostels recently and Akelarre is by no doubt the only place where I feel like home.

They are very helpful and can give you local tips about everything: from how to get cheap pintxos... More

First off, this hostel is probably fine for backpackers. You get breakfast (nothing fancy but good enough), the staff are reasonably friendly (unless you make a complaint of course), and the rooms are adequate. However, I would advise against staying here if you want anything more. I wasn't expecting too much but I did book a 'Double Bed Shared Bathroom'.... More

The hostel was really clean with nice rooms. I got a nice upgrade (from a 20 person room to a 6 person if I remember correctly), and the staff was REALLY helpful. I would've missed the Guggenheim museum completely if they hadn't given me a heads-up. The staff gave me plenty of recommendations, and warned me when they told me... More

This hostel is great.The staff were friendly - one in particular helped me make an hair appointment and phoned ahead for me explaining what I wanted (given my poor Spanish, this was a big help), they have maps available and are happy to help (ordering taxis, telling you what bars are good etc.). The breakfast is simple but plentiful.The rooms... More
