Excellent service, the people at the reception were always nice and attentive and so were the waiters at the bar. I stayed here with a friend for a marathon and many other guests were there for the same reason so the atmosphere was excellent. Grrat facilities, amazing location and for a decent price. We will be staying here again in the futire

Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is 2.1 km from All Iron Hostel, while Plaza Nueva is 800 metres from the property. The nearest airport is Bilbao Airport, 5 km from the property.

I had a great time at the hostel. The staff was really nice and friendly. I loved the common area with the sofas, where you can chill and enjoy some quiet time after 11pm, and the kitchen was very well equipped too, including recycling bins. Breakfast had a variety of food and drinks -though there was no veggie milk. Plus, you get to do free daily work out as the hostel's on top of a hill 🤣 Great value for money!

Rooms at Moon Hostel Bio feature vibrant décor and individual lockers. Private rooms have a private bathroom, while dormitories have bunk beds and a shared en-suite bathroom.

Great location in Bilbao. Yes, it's budget and the reception area would make you wonder about the rooms. But our room was excellent. Clean, comfortable and the bathroom was immaculate, even stocked with soap, shower gel and shampoo. This was the same price as its pitching tents in a campsite, so no complaints at all. Exceeded our expectations.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very cheap, so perfect if you just need a simple hostel, basically just a bed to sleep in, a little kitchen and common room. You're definitely not paying for extra facilities. Lots of backpackers doing el camino, all ages, but not really a social hostel. Quiet and most people are in bed early which is nice.
