Articles Mentioning Budget

The 152-room Ibis Bilbao Centro is a clean, modern, functional budget hotel. Its trendy lobby makes a splashy first impression, with lounge spaces opening to a bar and restaurant offering a 24-hour snack menu. But there are few other on-site amenities. Rooms are clean but extremely simple with wood floors, compact bathrooms with shower stalls, and basic amenities like flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, but no extras like coffeemakers or mini-fridges. On-site parking, pet stays, and breakfast all cost extra fees. The location is convenient, an easy walk to restaurants and shops, and a 15-minute walk from many of Bilbao’s most famous sights, like Casco Viejo and the Guggenheim Museum. Travelers looking for an even cheaper stay might consider sharing a dorm at the nearby Bilbao Central Hostel.
