The historic aspect. The outside terraced area overlooking the harbour was private and peaceful and quiet.

William United Kingdom

Superb location in the middle of the town, warm and friendly staff/associates making you feel very welcome and finally the building itself, the way it has been renovated is worth seeing.

Karl Ireland

An extraordinary Parador in a mediaeval castle. Beautiful views across to France from the terrace and bedroom window. Large comfortable room. Staff were very pleasant and helpful, and of course multilingual.

David United Kingdom

An amazing and historical building beautifully and tastefully transformed into an hotel. Wonderful ancient town. Staff were excellent

Lowri United Kingdom

Excellent location & historical building. Excellent breakfast & great views from the terraces.

Alice United Kingdom

Brilliant view, quiet room, overlooking the harbour

Christina Denmark

the junior suite is a superb castle room with eight feet thick external wall, a great view, huge bed, big bathroom with bath, bidet and two washbasins. Paradors supply robes and slippers. Fantastic location as you'd expect from a parador, and if the weather had been better the terraces would have been fab for drinking out on

Surrey United Kingdom

Beautiful hotel! Amazing decor and great sea view from room. Located centrally so was very easy to walk to grab something to eat.

    Dear Customers, A taxi to San Sebastian costs more or less 40 euros. There is a cheaper and easy way by direct buses nº E-21 with Ekialdebus. Trains starting at Irun are not a good option from Hondarribia. Thanks for trusting Paradores and best regards.
