Can't think of anything

Breakfast was excellent. Service was excellent. We had two different rooms, both very good but one had a superb view over Bilbao. Location is great for a one night stay if you are getting on or off thr ferry. I'm sure it is equally good for a longer stay We walked down to Bilbao, down many steps, and really enjoyed it, but baulked at the climb back later and got a taxi.

Ignacio was very helpful and friendly at the reception desk. The area was beautiful, near hiking/walking in the green hills with wonderful views and nearby a funicular to take get close to the Museum.

It was a bit of a trek into town and returning uphill would be a challenge if you’re not a keen walker. But there was a bus and taxis weren’t expensive.

Lovely views over the City. Felt comfortable and safe. Parking was easy. All round, a great place to stay.

Fantastic view of Bilbao, absolutely loved our room. Ignacio was always friendly and very helpful at the concierge desk. We enjoyed the walking paths nearby and the near proximity to the funicular. A short drive by car to the casco viejo.

The sound proofing could be better , we could hear everything that was said in the next room although they spoke really loudly pillows were rather small small ,also the mould in the shower needs some attention

Staff were excellent, breakfast was good the cleanliness was first rate

the double room we have initially booked had regular double bed, perhaps 140cm or 160cm and we prefer large double. the room was also smaller than the one we got after. was still ok, just something to keep in mind if you prefer wider bed

we requested a room with 2 twins after checkin,, as we preferred larger double bed and they were happy to accomodate it. the offered room was large and with good facilities, nice view over the city as well. staff was very nice

The apartment is all new and comfortable, the terrace give a nice view on Bilbao

The only drawback for me - the room was adequate but fairly small

The hotel is small, very clean, very friendly and the views over the city are stunning. The breakfast was also outstanding, with the best coffee and huge selection of goodies.

The room had no over curtains so the car park lights shone straight into the room and were on all night.

Friendly staff and helpful in a good location

The fridge in the room was a little noisy; and I had to shut the window to keep out the noise of a couple of dogs barking.

Friendly, welcoming staff. Excellently located for ferry port. Centre of Bilbao within walking distance. The hotel is also on a bus route - the bus stop is on its doorstep.

Our two days were a faultless experience - could not have been any better.

Splendid, generous breakfast. Amazing view over Balboa and the entire adjacent valley. Felt like we were out in the country (which we were). Hosts gave excellent advice for access and touring Bilbao. Highly recommend Hotel Artexte to all travellers

Nothing.

A fine hotel. My room was stylish, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The kettle was a nice touch. The buffet breakfast had a great selection of good food. The hotel is at the top of a steep hill above the city. Great views and a country feel. Relying on public transport to get there, as I did, should not normally be a problem as Bilbobus A7 stops outside the hotel. Unfortunately at the time of my stay (April 2024) Bilbobuses were on indefinite weekday strike, which meant a taxi from central Bilbao or a walk from the nearest metro station - Deutsu. If walking, a free 24 hour cable car gets you from Deutsu to the hillside community of Arangoiti and the Berrizbidea path leads from there up to the hotel.

Sloping roofs in the attic apartment we were in. It was nice to have all the space but guests need to be careful not to bang their heads on the roof rafters. The shower would benefit from upgrading how it is fixed to the wall.

Good location. Excellent hosts. It’s a bit of a trek into Bilbao but we didn’t mind that as we enjoy walking. Excellent views over Bilbao. Hosts were very welcoming and communicated well in English, taking time to give advice on the best ways to get to and from Bilbao.

It is awkward to sightsee without a car because the bus only comes once an hour. However you can walk down into town in only 15-20 minutes then plan ahead to get the bus back (or walk uphill but may take a little longer!)

Amazing view and super friendly manager. We felt very welcomed.

General attention to detail, in all aspects of our stay. A warm and genuine welcome, clean and functional facilities and fresh produce at breakfast.

Nothing in particular.

Location was not near the city, but the low cost funicula was within walking distance from the lodging. We saved time by driving to it since parking is free. We used it both days, it was very convenient and saved travel and parking in the city. It ends very near the Gugenheim Museum.

Room is very clean and confortable, view from the window is excellent: you could see all city! Staff is so friendly and smiley ).

It was a very nice stay, our only problem was that since the room was on the top floor we couldn’t stand normally because our heads were bumping the ceiling all the time. It was a disturbing stay for our necks but apart from that everything was great.

Very clean and an amazing scenery.

Great apartment. Spend the extra dollars to get the city view. Takes your breath away.

All was good

The hotel was out of the city but had an excellent view of Bilboa! Great way to enjoy a city but feel like you are in the countryside. The funicular was a good 25 minutes walk from the hotel which we liked as it meant the car was safe while we explored Bilboa city. Good taxi service of an evening too! The hotel breakfast was excellent ...lots of choice and good value for 10 euros each. We would stay again when we visit Bilboa.

A bit out of the way

Staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was roomy and spotlessly clean. Great breakfast.

Extraordinary view of Bilbao city from our balcony. Wonderful to be in the countryside but a short trip (by funicular, bike or on foot) to the heart of the city.
