Hotel Artxanda

Good
Traveller Type:
  : Spacious, clean, safe and wonderful views above Bilbao city. There is a bush track that runs from the hotel down to the town but it does involve a good level of fitness. Great transport by Bilbo bus services (just get the app so you can time the buses) and the funicular is not too far away near the recreational parks.
  : The common room has no heating water purposes, no microwave, no fridge so lacks alot of many things you'd find in other hotels, pensions and even some albergues I have visited had a microwave. I would normally give this a 9 or 10 but it is also unmanned from a Host perspective (although they have people onsite during certain times of the day), but it is missing too many essential items to be called a Hotel, so I had to knock off some points.

  : Great views from Mountain side. Great shower
  : Not keen on self check in and no secure parking. As there were no restaurant/ cafe on site it would have been nice to have a kettle in the room to make a drink.

  : Not near a busy motor-way
  : The check-in was not very modern .

Very Good

  : no electricity in the morning, check-out from 7:30, not good for someone who has early flight.

Very Poor
Traveller Type: solo traveller
  : I can’t say much about what i liked about the stay because price to comfort ratio is just disappointing.
  : For a hotel for €75 per night, at least you should be able to sleep in a dark room and expect basic amenities like shampoo, soap and clean towels. Everything was missing in the room. I couldn’t sleep at all because the room was full bright because of the bright lights in the parking area. The room did have whites “curtains” which was absolutely useless for the light outside. I would definitely not recommend the property to those who want to have a peaceful sleep. The photos below were taken at 11pm at night.
