Lovely hotel
Lovely hotel, but unfortunately there was a crazy rain torn while we were there a night breaking up a road trip from northern Spain down to Barcelona. However, the hotel restaurant is wonderful and we played dominoes and drink gin and tonic’s during the day while it was pouring! Lovely staff at the restaurant. An gentleman maybe in his 50s that made us laugh. I would imagine walking along the beautiful seaside path would be beautiful, but not in torrential rain. The hotel has a hotel dog which yaps a little bit here and there. The town was alright.

This was a really exceptional hotel property. We were simply looking for a nice night's stay between cruise ship and airport. We were very surprised at the location, charm, and lovely amenities at this hotel. We were sorry that we were staying only one night!

Beautiful harbor side hotel!
Incredibly beautiful hotel on the waters edge “boardwalk”. Super sweet dog welcome gift! Gardens and location stunning. Parking underground. The pictures don’t capture its beauty.Like a grand old harbor side hotel and feels like staying on a yacht. Geared to the mature traveler!

Simply wonderful
Lovely staff. Wonderful location. Our room had a lovely bay view and balcony. Room was great. We have a dog who was given his own bed and dishes and treats. Only thing to let it down was that the restaurant menu could have been better. Minor flaw.

Wonderful hotel, beautiful location
Beautiful hotel with lovely staff. We were made very welcome, including my husband’s guide dog. Dog treats, bags and dog bed were particularly welcome. Had a very nice meal in the bar, a bar of local people with a great atmosphere. Beautifully decorated light room with a side view of the sea. Wonderful promenade with far reaching views across Bilbao. Will definitely be back.

Good for a great view of the water
If you are renting/driving - I recommend a smaller vehicle. The parking is in a tight underground space near the walkway/entrance The view from the window was beautiful and the area was quiet and calm In the bathroom, the bidet broke when the water was turned on and water went everywhere, the shower was also not clean the caulking showed dirt and some grime The metro was a bit of a walk from the hotel, but it was a pleasant walk through a neighborhood and park The hotel was also a short drive to Bilbao, which was convenient for more sightseeing Minibar champagne was also old

Charming boutique hotel
This is a truly relaxing boutique hotel with a lot of charm. Although within a very quiet neighbourhood it benefits from spectacular views of the bay and a promenade just out front. Plenty of character in the old historic building and the staff are very friendly. What more would you need.

Superb gem of a hotel.
Excellent hotel, everything from the polite and helpful nature of the staff, to the quality and cleanliness of the room was first rate. Attention to detail is the key to the success of the hotel. It has a fine location, overlooking the bay at Getxo and with easy walking distance of the town's bars and restaurants. Highly recommended.

the receptionist was extremely helpful. She guided us the best way to reach the ferry port. On her advice we used the Puente colgante with great success. We would criticize the hand basin in the bathroom which mu husband likened to a spittoon, it was a good description !!

Excellent stylish hotel by the sea
Don't expect chintzy furniture and carpets at this very trendy hotel. It is decor is very much black, white and silver, with wonderful vases, ornaments and pictures to match. But, it is very comfortable with places to sit in peace and quiet, access right onto the promenade for a stroll along to the beach, a restaurant and cafétaria serving a wide variety of excellent food. The staff are delightful and very helpful. We paid the extra for a sea view room which is well worth it. Our room was very comfortable and well equipped. And, a major plus, the hotel has its own underground garage as parking in the area could be a nightmare. The Metro station is about 5 minutes walk away and that is only 12 stops from the centre of Bilbao and the Guggenheim (at less than £3 a head return!). Our only complaint was finding the hotel which, although set back on a major road, is very discreetly marked and not easy to spot when driving by. But we loved staying here and would certainly return.

Decent hotel but small room.
Hotel was decent in a good location (location by the bay only useful in warm/ summer weather). Room was a bit small which made it not very comfortable, but okay for a day which I spent.

beautifully restored hotel
This is a really lovely hotel. Very friendly staff and the food in the restaurant was amazing quality for the price. The only bad thing was the bed was very hard which is to some people's taste but not ours. They were kind enough to switch us but most of the rooms were similar. The location is perfect for Getxo. Halfway between all the different things to see but right on the promenade. The beach is a 10 minute walk away. You are very near a metro station (5min walk) that will take you right into central Bilbao. Definitely better to stay here than in Bilbao itself. Highly recommended hotel.

Hotel Emarcadero, Getxo
Getxo is a rather chic stylish small resort close to the Bilbao port. The hotel well matches the resort. The hotel is a conversion of one of a series of late 19th Century family homes on the promenade and has stylish decor and layout. There is limited on-site parking, but you can (at a price) use the on-site undergound garage. I didn't get a chance to eat in the restaurant (except the buffet breakfast# but everything looked to be a done to a high standard. Handy for teh Brittany ferry #if you cross teh river by the brilliant Puente Colgante.

El mejor hotel de la zona
Teniendo en cuenta la localización, el servicio, la tranquilidad y los alrededores, es el mejor hotel para ir a la zona de Bilbao. Es verdad que el precio refleja esta calidad, pero merece la pena.
