C / De Las Cortes, 38, Bilbao
Residencia Blas de Otero is a youth hostel that originally opened in 2004. It's a large place that has 216 beds in total. There are single rooms as well as a few twin and four bed rooms available. Every room has its own kitchen, a full bathroom, and central heating. Breakfast is available for an additional four euros. The rooms have basic furnishings including a wardrobe, desk, chair, and lamp. The kitchens have basic utensils and furnishings.

The location of this hostel could be better, and it's not recommended that you walk around the neighborhood alone, particularly at night. If you're looking for an affordable place to stay, then this is a good choice, but the atmosphere is not as social as you would hope for at a youth hostel.
