「Really attractive and nicely furnished converted old building. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was just about perfect.
Garai is a lovely village and has two magnificent restaurants within a 10 minute walk, ideal for the tasting menu with accompanying wines.
A little fitness is needed as the walk up to the hotel from the car park is quite strenuous and there are a few flights of stairs if you are in one of the upper rooms. Our room on the top floor only had...
「Hôtel très bien placé dans un quartier vivant, chaleureux offrant de nombreuses options de restauration. Notre choix s’est porté sur Bolina del viejo.」
「Great no-frills hotel in the heart of Gernika. The rooms are basic but if you get a good price, I would recommend it for somewhere to stay. The pin entry system makes check in simple and the owners were communicative. 」
「Lovely stay whilst waling the camino. The surroundings are spectacular. Excellent evening meal and breakfast. Superior double with balcony was lovely. Amazing shower. Friendly staff.
Only negatives:
Check in and check out took too long. Toilet flushed continuously overnight.」
「This was one of my favourite stays. Spacious, quiet, breakfast was incredible, staff were accommodating, loved our room, overall amazing experience and would recommend to anyone. 」
「What amazing views, luckily weather was good when we arrived so we were able to sit outside with a drink. Dinner was superb, especially the Ox steak.」
「We stayed in the garden room, very spacious, homely. Small fridge, good shower and a large firm bed. Fabulous views of the Atlantic and nearby town. Friendly and helpful reception staff.」
「We had a wonderful stay at this charming rural house in Mungía. Lourdes, the owner, is incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, the room was spacious and very comfortable, and the whole area is peaceful and relaxing—perfect for a restful getaway. I highly recommend this place 100%!」
「Petit hôtel charmant et très propre et moderne. Aucune mauvaise surprise tout était selon ce qui était promis sur le site web. L’appartement était au deuxième étage avec la même vue que la photo de la pub. Utilisé le coffre fort sans frais additionnels Parking intérieur et payant ( tel qu’annoncé). Bon accueil professionnel et très courtois. Belle expérience.」
「Albergo classico con stanze di buona metratura, letti comodi ed ottimo segnale WiFi. Buono anche il livello di pulizia. Ampio posteggio. Adiacente all'albergo si trova un ottimo ristorante. 」
"A disappointing experience - written by my husband who was the one who stays at this hotel
Spent a night in the Artist Gran hotel of Arts on my way back from the Camino de Santiago. I do not know if it was because of my backpack and casual pilgrim dressing but from the start, the service was a bit arrogant. I booked a room with queen size bed (indicating preference on high floor), but was given a DOUBLE bed for 3rd floor. As for the view, Smart Inner View means facing the window of your neighbor (welcome back to the dormitory in the Albergue!). An experience certainly not to be repeated. Get yourself an hotel with better service. You deserve better!"
"Bad service and accommodation for the price!
For a new hotel the room is extremely badly designed. No socket for the kettle, constant buzzing sound from the electric box and poor drainage in the shower leading to a bad smell. Cleaning is also bad. Used toothpick found in the sink area and left there for four days. Mugs left unwashed. Coffee/amenities in the room not topped up.
Breakfast is not worth the money and runs out of food at least an hour before breakfast is due to finish, staff very lazy and don’t attempt to top up the food or clear plates from tables (whilst eating food in front of guests). Same level of poor service was seen in the rooftop bar, with glasses all over near the pool. All staff need a significant amount of training to be at an acceptable standard. "
