We had no expectations about Bilbao, and it wasn't even on our itinerary when we arrived in Madrid, but upon recommendations by our B&B host in Madrid we decided to include a couple of days in Bilbao to check it out. We found Artetxe through TripAdvisor, and neither the hotel nor Bilbao disappointed. We booked Hotel Artetxe because we were... More

The four of us stayed three nights in a double and in a twin for € 146 a night, buffet breakfast included. But they also offer standard and top a.c. accommodations. Clean rooms and baths, quiet atmosphere, great view from the garden, free parking, easy access (two minutes drive) to funicular (three minutes downtown), friendly staff. When coming back from...

Stayed for 2 nights before catching ferry back to UK. Hotel is on the edge of Bilbao and from our basic but comfortable room we had a great view and looked down into the centre of the city. The hotel was quiet at night and we slept well with the window fully open. the room was not massive but very... More

THE view from our room was magnificent, only comparanle to THE view we had over Innsbruck staying in Aldranserhof. Breakfast was sufficiënt, though public transport is... More

Absolutely great location on hillside overlooking Bilbao. Easy access to and from ferry port. Really friendly and helpful staff. Excellent value. Easy access to fenicular railway into Bilbao centre. The only downsides are NOT the hotel fault....one is that the restaurant next door was pricey and the menu was basically 'do you want fish or meat'! the second is that... More

I will omit everything that's great about this place and make the one necessary warning. It is about 2 kilometers to the furnicular that takes you into the heart of Bilbao. If you have a car, there's free parking outside the furnicular. No bus exists to take you there if you're without private transportation. It's not a bad walk, just... More

Overlooking Bilbao, this hotel was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. It's 5 km from downtown, so a car is certainly recommended. More

A few miles outside the city and on a hill with great views of Bilbao by night we were really pleased with this find. It's a well-maintained, clean, family run, small hotel, in a quiet location, and with helpful, English speaking staff. Five minutes easy drive from the hotel is the local fenicular terminal where we parked the car free... More

Well located hotel above the city with excellent views and large car park, essential for 8 of us travelling in classic cars. Quiet location though hotel was of cheap concrete construction so you could hear everything, particularly a noisy guest who kept sniffing loudly & hawking. Nice!. We were disappointed when we arrived after a long drive to be told... More

Clean & tidy hotel, friendly staff. However we stayed in annex next to car park and restaurant the rooms were fairly small and the double bed not big enough! ( Soundproofing not good either ) Also it was festival week which meant brilliant firework displays but also live music from the restaurant meant no sleep until 1.30am! Check where your... More
