A straightforward hotel with a decent cafeteria. Well placed for travellers arriving by train to Hendaye - it's just ten minutes walk over the bridge.

A simple clean room. Was a good value for the cost. The location was convenient for public transportation and access for strolling. The restaurant staff was very nice.

Near Irun lightrail station (Hendaye-Donesta-Bilbao) and 5 min walk to Hendaye railwaystation. 24x7 reception. Ideal stop for early or late TGV Bordeaux-Paris. Friendly staff. Good beds.

Perfect for a night before an early train from Hendaye. Breakfast served from 0600. 10 min walk to train station. Don’t walk on the wrong side of the station - follow the road. They had 4 bed rooms

Bathroom was cleaned, but old and full of limescale. Breakfast was decent but minimal in amount and choice. Trains pass on the back, so necessary to keep windows shut to reduce noise.

Great location for those traveling by train between France and Spain. Friendly staff.

Room was facing the road and there was some noise. Some noise from adjacent room also.

Room 302 was great. Room was very clean and had a balcony. Bed was comfortable. Food was good in restaurant and friendly staff.

Reviews said 5 minutes to hendaye station but it is not so it is about 10 to 15 mins if you are pulling heavy suitcases and hard work if you are elderly.

Terrace could have been nice, but looked out on some dilapidated buildings in the yard. My mattress was a bit lumpy, but bed otherwise good. Had problems with loud music (bass tones) with a neighbouring room, but the receptionist intervened and it stopped. All in all, I found the room too expensive for what it offered.

I arrived early, but I was feeling ill, so asked if my room would be available early. Young man on reception was very kind and sent me to the restaurant to wait. After a short while my room was ready. I chose the hotel because the location to the SNCF in Hendaye was very close. Room was below road level with a small terrace. Room was adequate in size and clean. Receptionist and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of sockets in the room.

There was no air conditioning in the room (just a ventilator) and it was a quite hot night, so we kept the window open, but this way mosquitos got in.

Lovely house, easy to reach, sited at the border between Spain and France. They welcomed our dog in any space and we enjoyed the cozy bar/restaurant open until late, with a good choice of food and full of people. We loved the breakfast too!

Stayed in September 2023

The room was basic and sparse looking - no added decorations to make it look welcoming. No bedside tables. Bright fluorescent light was inappropriate. Needed subtle lighting.

The breakfast was very good. Staff friendly.

Excellent location virtually next to the Santiago bridge between France and Spain. Starting point for Spanish Camino del Norte. Also backs onto train station heading into Irun and San Sebastián Not good sound isolation but train noise not a problem for me The internal hotel room doors closed very loudly unless you were careful. Room was however quiet clean but reasonably basic for the price. Wifi fast stable Breakfast included. Good to see organic coffee. Mostly plastic carbohydrate heavy food. More fresh fruit and vegetable would be healthier options. Particularly given the location on the pilgrim route All the Staff kind and helpful.

Noisy outside in front of the hotel most of the night.

Stayed in June 2023

The room was super hot, and although it cooled down well outside in the evening, the room stayed very hot, even with the window completely open the whole evening and night. Closing it was no option, but the terrace below was very noisy until quite late, and there was also a lot of traffic, so it was difficult to sleep, both because of the noise and the heat.

The staff was super friendly. The breakfast was good.

Breakfast pretty boring, very poorly soundproofed.

Location, people working there were pretty nice

Should have realised from the map that the railway runs at the back of the hotel. The last train at night is at about 23:30 and the first in the morning about 06:30 - you have been warned! Oh, did I tell you they sound the train hooter as they approach Ficoba-Irun? Well they do. Not even the double glazing can keep that out but, hey, you're not going to be there forever are you? But it did make for a very tiring journey the next day back to Paris and on to London.

The hotel is just a short walk to the French border and the Hendaia railway station that took me back to Paris, Here on a Monday and a lot of the nearby restaurants were closed! Luckily the hotel's own restaurant is more than adequate and the staff are charming. The beds were comfortable and there was an enormous fan to cool you down. If you're travelling by train the nearest station is Ficoba-Irun and not Hendaye/Hendaia - that's across the border in France. Oh, the room had a weird strip of LED lights on the ceiling that can change colour - not sure why. Similarly the shower rose is illuminated (???)

Welcoming and helpful

Very nice room in an interesting location.

Stayed in May 2023

Overall, everything was satisfactory. The bed could be softer and the airflow in the room could be better, but overall, no large complaints.

The hotel was exactly as I expected. It is not the fanciest hotel, but it fit my needs perfectly. The restaurant was great for both dinner and breakfast. The location was my main reason for choosing to stay at Hotel Aitana as it is close to the bridge that I wanted to start my Camino del Norte hike.
