Beautiful old fortress that is now a hotel. Beautiful view of the bay. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Camila, United States of America

Comfortable hotel tucked into an old fortress in the center of the old town in Hondarribia. The hotel located in a famous castle built by Charles V which is filled with historic rooms and comfortable lounges. Don't miss the outdoor terrace overlooking the picture perfect harbor which is a great place to relax under an umbrella on a sunny day. An outside elevator whisks guests down to the modern town and harbor with its many restaurants.

Phinder, United States of America

Fairy tale Setting!!! Just Beautiful historical place.

Juan, United States of America

We were, without the exception, pleased with our stay at Parador de Hondarribia. The staff were friendly and helpful and spoke English, which was extremely helpful for us as we speak very little Spanish. The facility is very well maintained and the rooms comfortable and tastefully appointed. The breakfasts were very good with a number of appealing choices. The location of the parador could not be more convenient. It was a real treat to be able to sit on the balcony and look across the water to France.

Derosset, United States of America

Beautiful, classic. Excellent location, friendly, very helpful staff!

Barbara, United States of America

Beautiful setting and fascinating property. Such an unusual hotel. Lovely bedroom, large bathroom and great linens.

Vivien, United States of America

The Parador de Hondarribia is located in a beautiful former castle. It is complete with beautiful tapestries and wonderfully evocative rooms for wandering in. On top of that it is high up and provides beautiful views. Parking (for a price) is available. Although, there is no restaurant we had a satisfactory dinner in their cafe/pub.

Patricia, United States of America

The location is central to walking to the old town.

Judy, United States of America

We liked everything about the Parador de Hondarribia. Our room was beautiful with a magnificent view of the harbor. The breakfast had a large variety of choices that were all delicious. The Parador staff was helpful in making restaurant reservations. The Parador de Hondarribia is located in the old town walls of the city.

Parador de Hondarribia is set in an impressive 10th-century castle overlooking the Bidasoa Estuary. It has a charming courtyard terrace and another terrace with fantastic views.

The beautiful castle includes original arches and features such as suits of armor, cannons and spears. There are banquet rooms, courtyards and other charming spaces where you can relax with a drink from the bar.

The modern rooms at the Parador feature wooden floors. Each room comes with a flat-screen TV, a safe and a mini-bar. The private bathroom includes a hairdryer.

A daily buffet breakfast is served in the café. There are many good seafood restaurants within a short walk in Hondarribia.

The seafront promenade is just 800 feet from Parador de Honidarribia, and the beach is 1.2 mi away. San Sebastián is a 20-minute drive away, and you can drive to Biarritz in 35 minutes.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

An Inside Look at Parador de Hondarribia

Also known as the Castle of Charles V, its construction dates to the 10th century. Here you will feel as if you are in an authentic medieval fortress. Highlights include the immense bare stone walls that frame the courtyard, surrounded by green creepers and crowned by spaces adorned with arches, wrought iron and coffered ceilings. The views of the coast of France and the sea from some of the guest rooms and the terrace complete the indescribable beauty of this place.

We loved the hotel and the town.
A stunning building of charm and history with a magnificent view across the Bay of Biscay to France. Loved the beautiful old town where the Parador was situated. A short walk into town. Lots of wonderful pinchos and tapas bars. Very festive with many locals and tourists. There is a wonderful waterfront walk around the bay. There are two outdoor bar areas with magnificent views. The hotel has a stunning atrium highlighting the old walls of the former fort where you can sit to have breakfast. We had a very special room with a fabulous view over the bay and a rear balcony inside the atrium. The staff were very helpful and friendly and happy to assist with restaurant reservations. Loved our stay here. Beautiful hotel and town.

“Historic fortress now a comfortable hotel atop old town in Hondarribia”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
Carefully follow the directions to the hotel which winds through the town's many narrow one way streets to the hotel's hilltop location. Push the button on the left pillar to gain access to the locked parking area. Spaces are tight but usually available. An elevator lifts guests and luggage from the parking to the hotel front entrance. If you need help, leave luggage in your car and check in first and ask for assistance with luggage.

Very pricy (200 Euros), but right on the old town square. Communication on how to find parking would be useful.
Great historical property, excellent location directly on the old town square. Very nice breakfast with made-to-order eggs. Parking is available but was tricky for us to find. I communicated with the property regarding parking availability, which they responded to, but they failed to mention how to find it (because I didn't ask that specific question in the email). Easy access to the newer part of town. We had a nice view of the harbor, Hendaye and the incoming flights from our room. We had a small refrigerator.

“A charming parador with fabulous views.”
- • Leisure trip

They do not have a restaurant, which was not a problem for us but would have been nice. However, they do have a charming breakfast room and many sitting areas and patios with lovely views. We were on the 2nd floor with one floor above us. It seemed like the people directly above us were on a hike - we could hear and feel every footfall. However, I think that's to be expected in a refurbished historic building with concrete walls and tile and wooden floors. Thankfully they went to bed so after we did! Next time I would request a room on the top floor! The overall hotel experience was delightful.
The experience of staying in a parador is always a plus. The staff was always helpful, and the public areas were fascinating. Our room was nice with a little window in an alcove to look out over the water. The bathroom was large and very nice.

It is very difficult to find if you are driving and it is very difficult to get into the car park if you have a wide car.
The parador is in wonderful building on the top of a hill with amazing views. The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is good and this is a good base to go into San Sebastian. It is easy to get taxis and it is very close to San Sebastian airport if you want to rent a car.
