What guests think

At The Artist Grand Hotel of Art, travellers consistently praise the unbeatable location opposite the Guggenheim, friendly and proactive staff, elegant art-filled interiors, and a panoramic rooftop where excellent breakfasts and drinks come with memorable museum views.

Rooms are modern and comfortable, many with striking Guggenheim views, though some interior rooms feel dark and a few guests reported noise, weak Wi-Fi, or quirks with air-conditioning and shower layouts. Cleanliness and housekeeping are frequently applauded, with turndown touches noted, while service stands out across reception, concierge and bar, despite rare hiccups such as valet damage handling or missed replenishments. Breakfast impresses for quality and variety but some consider it expensive, and feedback on on-site dining ranges from very good to occasionally mixed. Expect a stylish, well-located stay focused on art, service and views.

The hotel is just perfect! It is located centrally. It is located next to the Guggenheim Museum! From the Airport you can take the bus and reach the hotel in about 15 minutes. Bars and Restaurants are in walking distance. The rooms are really spacious and super clean! Highly appreciated that every evening the bed is prepared for a relaxing night. The staff is super friendly and very engaged. The breakfast at the rooftop is awesome! You get everything you need and want! The view is amazing! The rooftop opens during the afternoon again. It was perfect to take an aperitif before going for dinner. The service was awesome! Highly recommended hotel for a trip to Bilbao!

Exquisite housekeeping and turn-down service. Beautiful structure in a perfect location: near central Bilbao, across the street from the “Gugg,” and a few steps from the airport bus stop. Amazing view from the rooftop lounge. Great jazz in the 0 floor bistro. Breakfast a combo of buffet and table service, all flat rate. Friendly front desk, at all hours.

We had a wonderful stay at the artist during late October 2025. It starts with a perfect location, opposite the Guggenheim and river with personal valet parking. The staff are friendly and effective and spoke in Spanish and English. We were given excellent restaurant recommendations and they even booked us tables. Navigation around the hotel was easy and the art on display was beautiful. The rooms were stunning and the beds comfortable. Amenities and mini bar were ample and lovely touches. The breakfast, seemingly a little expensive at 35 euros was more than made up for in the service, attention to detail, range and quality of food and the view from the rooftop terrace. Overall this was a fantastic stay and throughly recommend it. We got to see Bilbao at its best from here.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Gran Hotel Domine Bilbao. Don’t miss breakfast at the rooftop with views of the Guggenheim, of which you are right in front. The hotel is also close to the shopping area and a 20 minute walk to the Old Town. The spa with sauna and hammam is luxurious. But more than anything, the best part of the hotel is the staff and service- simply outstanding.

I had an excellent stay! Everything was spotless — the rooms, bathrooms, and common areas were incredibly clean and well-maintained. The staff deserves special mention for their kindness and great disposition; they were always attentive, friendly, and ready to help with anything I needed. The location couldn’t be better — close to the main attractions, restaurants, and public transport, which made getting around super easy. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for comfort, great service, and location.

Jättebra bemötande och service. Fräscht rum med bekväma sängar o rymligt badrum. Dock funkade inte air kondition som den skulle så rummet blev väldigt instängt under natten, varm o dålig luft tyvärr som gjorde sömnen dålig! Något tokigt med elen i vårt rum, vi fick igång men det var problem en stund.

Excellent hotel with excellent staff, spacious and clean rooms with comfortable beds. Air conditioning wasn’t working in our first room so requested a move which was accommodated. This room had a street view where there was a bar where a lot of shouting lasted until the early hours of the morning. Suggest improving the sound proofing as the staff informed us that this was a recurring problem most Saturday nights.

An excellent hotel across the street from the Guggenheim (great view from the room). Fantastic concierge service: Needed to book a bus to Donostia/StSeb for the day but had trouble with the Avanza website (and my poor Spanish) - Virginia set me up the day before with instructions on where to find the bus. Perfect location, very nice amenities.

The good stuff first. Excellent interaction with all staff at all levels. Outstanding breakfast with good selection both from the menu and buffet. If you want anything toasted just ask they are happy to oblige. The mimosas were a nice touch. Second the dissatisfied stuff. From our city view room every night we were disturbed by the club across the road turning out at 4am. There was no lighting when accessing the wardrobes next to the room entry door. The internet TV was constantly cutting out requiring a re boot every 45 minutes. We found this very annoying. All you want in the morning is to have a cup of coffee Twice on a three day stay we had to call Reception because house keeping had forgotten to replenish our supply. Only to be told by Reception “we must have drunk it and any more would be charged for” NO …. HOUSE KEEPING DIDN’T DO THEIR JOB. We were given free parking as compensation which was appreciated.

We enjoyed our 3-day stay there. The staff was VERY helpful, including the concierge, and it is perfectly located for visiting the Guggenheim and other museums. An excellent place to stay. My only quibble is that their buffet breakfast seems overly expensive. It's a good breakfast, but maybe they added another 5-10 euro for the view. Other than that, we were very pleased with our stay. First rate.
