Guests consistently praise the Artist Grand Hotel of Art for its prime location directly opposite the Guggenheim Bilbao. Many highlight the modern, spacious rooms, some equipped with bathrobes, slippers, and coffee machines. The rooftop bar is a favorite, offering great views, while the breakfast buffet also impresses with its variety; however, some found the breakfast to be better value than the brunch. The hotel's proximity to good bars and the city center makes exploring Bilbao very easy.

convenient location rooftop view custom menu
the location is directly across from the guggenheim (very convenient for museum visits). the rooftop bar has really good views. the buffet breakfast featured a custom hot breakfast menu included within the price.
the room lacked bright light due to the interior room design.

balanced stay

great location rooftop bar helpful staff office block mildew platform small toilet
the location was directly across from the guggenheim museum. the hotel had a rooftop bar and also a lobby bar. the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay.
the room faced an office block, not the museum. the wooden platform in the bathroom seemed grubby with mildew. the toilet was small and made it difficult to close the door.
