Pension Maria Isabel, c/ Amistad 5 tel: 944248566 & Hostal Maradones c/Jardines 4 tel:94415 56 36 are both clean & pleasant and handy for the Estacion de Abando (RENFE). They are both close to the Plaza Nueva which is a a delightful square of tapas bars, small shops and family restaurants and as good a place as any in Bilbao to enjoy the paseo and spend the evening. Adjacent to the Plaza Nueva is Hostal Manoli, c/Libertad 2. Not tried myself but recommended by others.

Many good hotels are available, I liked the Milo.

There is an inexpensive bus service that runs to and from the airport and the bus terminus in the city . Not too far from the bus terninus , on top of a hill nearby( it can be seen) is the offical Bilbao Albergue , a seven storey building. It is a bit more expensive than most but far cheaper than a hostal. They insist on pre booking with your credit card number. Not sure if one can make an internet booking nowdays as it has been a while since my last visit.
The Bus is less than €20 to Pamplona and takes just over 2 hours and the Pamplona bus station is more central than the train station.
