There are plenty of accommodation options for under €140 a night in Bilbao city centre.
Of course, at budget rates, none of these are the height of luxury, but if you’re looking for something cheap and cheerful in a decent location, we’ve got you covered.
*In no particular order
Ibis Budget Bilbao City
Just 600 metres from San Mames Intermodal Bus Station, one of Bilbao’s main transport hubs, this hotel is very conveniently located. What’s more, Euskalduna Conference Centre, is also just a 10-minute walk from the hotel.
A great option if you’re in Bilbao for a short stay, like a weekend business trip, and need something reliable that won’t break the bank.
Hotel Zenit Bilbao
Another ‘no-thrills’ hotel located on Autonomía, one of the main roads that runs through Bilbao. The lively Indautxu neighbourhood, full of great restaurants and bars, is just five minutes away from the Zenit Hotel.
Clean, comfortable and modern, Zenit also has its own restaurant, bar and terrace. Essentially, it’s a mid-range hotel at a budget price.
BYPILLOW Bilbo
A relative newcomer to Bilbao’s hotel scene, BYPILLOW has become increasingly popular among tourists with their stylist boutique hotels at budget rates.
The chain currently has four different establishments in the city:
Amari – Five minutes from the Guggenheim Museum.
San Mames – Right next to Athletic Club’s football stadium.
Irala – Not far from Plaza Moyua.
Due to its location in Plaza Gas, between Casco Viejo (The Old Town) and the Bilbao City Council building, we especially recommend BYPILLOW BILBO.
Letoh Letoh Bilbao
Another boutique hotel in Casco Viejo with affordable prices! Located on Calle del Correo, Letoh Letoh is in the heart of Bilbao’s medieval old town, two minutes away from Santiago Cathedral and the stunning Arriaga Theatre.
A modest, trendy hotel in the city’s most iconic neighbourhood. They also offer specialty coffees, sourced from sustainable farms around the world.
Livensa Living Studios
Comfortable holiday apartments in the Deusto Neighbourhood. Opened relatively recently, Livensa offers spacious rooms with double beds, a private bathroom and a kitchenette.
The building also has its own parking, a fitness room and a sun terrace.
