Botxo Gallery Reviews

We love Botxo Gallery - Youth Hostel Bilbao -- it really has all the ingredients a good hostel should have and more! It is affordable, set in a great location, and even the atmosphere is great. What a treat!

The Location

If you're visiting Bilbao, chances are you've heard of the Guggenheim Museum. And if you have, you'll probably love the fact that you can look at it and marvel while still wearing PJs and casually enjoying breakfast! So the hostel is right across the river from the most famous tourist attraction in town, and the city center is just about fifteen minutes' walk away. The Old City is very beautiful and is worth a visit too! It is a bit further by foot, but the walk takes you along the river and is lovely. There are many cafes, bars, and restaurants around.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The rooms are ok, but are pretty packed. The bunk beds actually have three stories and there isn't much space between them. So if you have a lot of stuff, you'll have to find some space somewhere. There are lockers, but they are not too large. Sheets are provided free of charge, but for some reason you are expected to rent a blanket if you need one, which is a bit strange, as they don't allow the use of your own sleeping bag, but it's not that cold in the room. There are little lights on the floor that are on even at night -- useful if you need to go somewhere, but a bit annoying when you're trying to sleep. The bathrooms and showers are shared and there are plenty of them. They could be a bit cleaner, but they are fine. You can have a good shower here.

Common Spaces

Adjacent to one of the dorms is a little lounge area with a couple of sofas and a coffee table. There are some books and magazines -- and of course, the great view of the Guggenheim. In the lobby, there are some tables and chairs, you can hang out there and of course use the communal kitchen. They also have a complimentary breakfast and there are always leftovers around, so you can pretty much always find some snacks to munch on. There is also a coffee machine, so you can have yourself a nice cup of coffee. And there is free Wi-Fi, of course.

Summary

Botxo Gallery - Youth Hostel Bilbao is located in a very chic area, has a cool design, and a young international atmosphere. You get great value for your money here.
