The Prem sides are set to do battle at the Estadio de San Mamés next Wednesday.
But the Bilbao Metropolitan Hostel - just a nine-minute drive from the ground - has been accused of cashing in.
Disgruntled supporters have likened the bedroom set-up to the dorms in Squid Game, which became a global phenomenon in 2021.

Fans flocked to social media to complain about the hostel raising prices so dramatically ahead of Wednesday's showpiece.
One fan wrote in response: "Sleeping in Squid Game for £2,000."

Another joked: "You could win 45 billion Korean Won."

And a fourth countered: 'Surely no one's paying £2,000 for a hostel. I wouldn't even pay £200. Would rather sleep in the airport."
Bossh Hotels has been approached for a comment.

Man Utd ratings vs West Ham as Ugarte awful and Mainoo invisible in latest horror show
MANCHESTER UNITED dropped to 16th in the Premier League after suffering an embarrassing 2-0 defeat to West Ham at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim named a strong team for United's return to domestic duty, but not even Amad Diallo could save the day.
United gave fans a lively start, but reverted back to factory settings after the visitors took the lead inside 27 minutes.
West Ham picked off United against the run of play, before former Man Utd star Aaron Wan-Bissaka came back to haunt his old club.
The full-back fed a clever ball through to Mohammed Kudus, who thrashed a low cross into the six yard box for Tomas Soucek to tap home.
United got caught cold again and were the masters of their own undoing, after Kudus pounced on Manuel Ugarte's mess up to set up Jarrod Bowen, who doubled West Ham's lead in the 58th minute.
Apart from some bright moments from Amad, this was another awful performance from the home side, as West Ham became the SIXTH team to the double over United this season.
The Red Devils haven't haven't won a Prem game since their 3-0 win at Leicester on March 16, which incidentally was the last team West Ham beat in February.
Here's how SunSport's Katherine Walsh rated every Man Utd star's performance at Old Trafford...
Both clubs have been allocated around 15,000 seats each by Uefa.
It's been reported that Spurs are offering all full-time employees a complimentary ticket for the match - a stance that United are not following.
The Mail claim that United are instead holding a ballot with a small number of tickets available for their staff, but will see the majority of workers go without the opportunity to watch the club in Spain.

Incoming £60m Chelsea star thinks Benjamin Sesko is better than him and Man Utd ace
As Manchester United and Newcastle United continue to pursue Benjamin Sesko, some comments from one of his team-mates have bobbed to the surface Benjamin Sesko's RB Leipzig team-mate Xavi Simons has previously said the Manchester United and Newcastle United target is a better player than himself and Kobbie Mainoo. Sesko, 22, could soon be heading to the Premier League. Newcastle recently tabled a formal bid of around £70million for the powerful striker. He has been one of the most exciting young strikers in world football for the best part of a year and has previously been linked with Arsenal. One person who ranks him highly is Simons, who has been the ex-RB Salzburg's forward's team-mate for many years. The Dutchman, who is being tracked by Chelsea, has even said the striker is a better player than himself. Earlier this year, during a Q&A session, Simons was asked to rank other young players globally. After favouring Mainoo over Warren Zaire-Emery, he was then asked to compare the young United midfielder with Sesko - he immediately chose the young striker. Simons was then asked to pick between himself and the centre-forward. Without hesitating, he said Sesko again. The United and Newcastle target returned the compliment when he expressed his admiration for the Dutchman, following the midfielder's permanent switch to Leipzig in January. After Simons netted twice against Werder Bremen, Sesko said: "I love to play with him. He makes things fun. I'm really happy for his two goals because now he is going to have even more confidence." Interestingly, Simons also looks set for a Premier League move, but to one of United's biggest rivals. He was dropped from RB Leipzig's squad for a pre-season friendly against Atalanta as a result of the fierce transfer speculation. Simons recently removed any mention of the Bundesliga side from his Instagram bio, signalling his desire to leave the club. Sky Sports confirmed there is no injury concern for the former Barcelona wonderkid and that his absence is due to transfer speculation surrounding him. He has made his intentions clear to his club that he wishes to relocate to Stamford Bridge. Fabrizio Romano reports that discussions between Chelsea and Leipzig are at an "advanced" stage. The German outfit are believed to be seeking £60million to release him. Chelsea have already splashed considerable cash, having acquired Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, and numerous others. Meanwhile, Newcastle have submitted a formal bid for Sesko. The Magpies, who face the prospect of losing Alexander Isak this summer, have tabled £65.5m, with add-ons believed to be worth approximately £4.3m. The Magpies have already witnessed numerous prime targets reject their approaches this summer for alternative destinations. Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford recently spurned their interest so he could rejoin Manchester City. He joins the growing list of players, including Pedro, Delap, and Hugo Ekitike, who have turned down the club. Newcastle are hoping to beat United to Sesko's signature, which will see Eddie Howe land an impressive insurance policy should Alexander Isak end up departing.
