Insider Tip

Poshtel Bilbao - Premium Hostel

Poshtel Bilbao is a favorite hostel of travelers who want comfort and luxury without a high price tag. It's a hotel quality facility at the price intended for budget travelers. The rooms range from small four person dorms to the large 18-person dorm and there are private rooms if you want a bit of space to yourself.

The hostel also has an attached bar and restaurant where you can grab a bite to eat or a cold drink.

The Facilities

Dorms

There's really a room type for every budget and travel style here. The dorms range in size from four bed dorms to 18 bed dorms. There are also 6, 8, 12, and 14 bed dorms to choose from as well as female only and co-ed rooms. With this many rooms, the hostel feels large, but fortunately the dorms are also surprisingly spacious. They all have air conditioning and secure key card access.

Private Rooms

If you want space to yourself, check out one of the private rooms. There are double, triple, and family style rooms to choose from. The rooms have comfortable beds and basic furnishings like you might find in a standard hotel room.

Bathrooms

All of the rooms have ensuite bathrooms. There's plenty of hot water, and like the rest of the hostel, they're kept clean and well maintained.

Bar

This hostel has an attached bar and restaurant that is under the same management. It feels a bit like a hotel bar, so it's not always the best place to meet other guests, but it is a great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat.

Common Areas

The common area and kitchen are simple but functional at this hostel. You can whip up a quick meal in the kitchen or relax for a few minutes in the common room. A popular feature here is the sauna!
