Stayed 2 nights here on the way to the ferry. Hotel was very clean, staff welcoming and helpful. It had free parking and wonderful views over the city. The breakfast was very good and reasonable. We will stay here again. It was easy to get into the city on foot going in and on the bus coming back up the... More

But back to the hotel ,we were greeted by the owner who could not have been more welcoming He explained where to go where to eat ,drink,and where to... More

Travelling to stay with friends in Portugal, we took advantage of the route to spend two nights in Bilbao - we chose the "Hotel Artetxe" as it accepted dogs and was not too far from the city centre. The hotel is family run/owned and provided very acceptable accommodation - there were even bowls for the dog in our room. As... More

This was a great location, we were looking for somewhere safe to leave our car but near to the city. You need a car but the funicular railway was close by to take you down to the city. We arrived early evening from the ferry from the UK and it was a filthy evening raining and windy. The staff where... More

Great location and friendly and informative service ( thanks Eva ). Brilliant if you dont want to be in the city but have easy access, you need a car! This hotel has tasteful decor and high quality fixtures. From its hill top location it has great views over the city. Breakfast was a small buffet of reasonable quality. We struggled... More

We chose this hotel because it was close enough to Bilbao for sightseeing but in a quiet location. We were not disappointed. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable with a lovely view over the city. The funicular down to the city was about 3 minutes drive away which avoided us having to tackle the joys... More

You need a car to get here, which was ideal for us, as we were spending the night here before catching the morning ferry. Being only a short drive from the city centre, airport and ferry port it is excellently situated. There was also plenty of free parking for guests. Artetxe has a great view over Bilbao and the rooms... More

We chose this hotel because it was not in the heart of the city but was on a quiet hill above. A short drive away, there is a funicular that will take one near the river and the Guggenheim, our goal. Our room was a bit warm, but that really was not a problem. We had much difficulty driving to... More

If you have a car and want to stay close to Bilbao, this is a good choice. We stayed for 2 nights after arriving via the ferry - we got a bit lost around the new tunnel/motorway, but once in town, GPS pointed us to the hotel straight away. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions and directions and... More
