Bilbaos best accommodations

1. In the old center of Bilbao:
NYX Hotel ★★★★ is perfect for a city break! You can walk straight into the old town, and it's located just 9 kilometers from Bilbao Airport.
Another gem right in the city center. Hotel Tayko ★★★★ is set in a historic building, but inside you'll find a modern, industrial-style atmosphere. Want to try something different from pintxos?
Head to the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant for an unforgettable culinary experience — fine dining with a Basque twist!
2. Nice appartments outside Bilbao center
($$ moderate)
An apartment in Bilbao center is great. But there is so much to see in the surrounding area that a beautiful apartment nearby is also highly recommended. Discover not only Bilbao, but also the charming seaside villages in the area. For example, in this car-free part of Getxo, you’ll find this lovely apartment. And on the outskirts of Bilbao, there’s the Bizi apartment, where parking your car is also easy. Ideal, really.
3. Airbnb in the center
An Airbnb is a great way to find unique accommodations. How about this apartment, for example, right in the heart of the old town? There’s a shared common area, making it easy to connect with other travelers. This apartment is also located in the old town and has a very modern interior. A perfect base for a weekend getaway in Bilbao!
4- Budget accomodation options in Bilbao:
Budget option: The budget-friendly Pensión Basque is right in the heart of Bilbao. That comes with its perks — you're just a stone's throw from the old town. But there’s also a downside: it can be a bit noisy at night, thanks to people enjoying Bilbao’s vibrant nightlife until the early hours! Perfect for a city trip!
