Hotel Artetxe

“REMANSO DE PAZ EN BILBAO”

The accommodation is very pretty, and at night there’s a calm that makes sleeping amazing. From the hotel the views of Bilbao are spectacular. It sits on the mountain (Artxanda) and a 10‑minute walk gets you to a funicular that takes you down to Bilbao. Walking straight from the hotel takes 20 minutes to the Guggenheim (you’ll have to climb back up, though there’s a nice elevator on a good stretch). Across the street is a restaurant (Berriz) that serves great food but doesn’t offer dinner service, so if you want to eat nearby you’ll have to go 2 km away. The room is fine and has a small TV, but we didn’t plan to watch TV. The parking is huge and free, and right outside the hotel there’s a bus stop. The only downside: they have an electric car charger that supposedly works for everyone, but when I tried to charge my car it wouldn’t accept it because I didn’t have a Total Energies RFID card, so don’t expect to charge your car unless you’re a Total Energies user.

“Fabulous! Highly recommended.”

The hotel is fantastic, perched on a hill with a unique view over Bilbao. It’s very reasonably priced and the breakfast is simply out of this world!

“Beautiful setting overlooking Bilbao with free parking”

The hotel was easy to locate in a beautiful setting and offered plenty of free parking. The staff were very friendly and helpful, explaining how to catch the bus to the funicular into Bilbao (extra cost) or how the bus looped back to the hotel. Our room was spacious, with a good‑sized bathroom, a large bed, and a lovely view overlooking Bilbao. It also came with a kettle and a small fridge. There was a dining room for breakfast at an extra charge if desired. The room got hot and lacked air conditioning or a fan; we opened the window, but that let insects in. We lowered the shutter, which made the room dark, so insect screens would be useful to let in fresh air and light without the bugs. A second mirror in the bedroom would also be handy.
