Dawn United States of America

The Location....Beautifully decorated in the public rooms...loved breakfast

Laura United States of America

Fantastic location and view and the building itself is wonderful to walk around in. Our room was quite big.

Avant United States of America

Wow - what an amazing experience to stay at such an historic location. The building is absolutely gorgeous and the location is spectacular. The town, the view, the building are all just perfection. The staff were very helpful and the rooms were lovely. Nice large bathroom and nice to have a bit of space in the room. All in all we really enjoyed this and well worth the stay. Totally recommend this to anyone coming to the area.

Fredette United States of America

Fantastic location, and, other than the bathroom, the room was comfortable. Good bed. Very quiet.

Donald United States of America

We loved the location and the view. We would definitely come again.

Margaret United States of America

An interesting and impressive historical property in the middle of the old town. The staff were very helpful and breakfast on-site was a good start to the day. Overall we are glad we chose the Parador.

Kelmark United States of America

This property is historically significant and is beautiful.The location couldn’t be better. Very impressive structure and love all the medieval decorations / art works. The view across the water from our room was great. The staff are very helpful, the cafe and breakfast both good.

Margaret Australia

Excellent location, amazing service, the staff at breakfast went out of their way to accommodate each guest. It’s a very special place, We would stay again without a doubt.

Sue United States of America

In the parador, you are living in the middle of history. It is an incredible structure that you would be paying to tour if it were not a hotel. Our room was quite comfortable and included a beautiful view of the water, boats and France just across the river. There are several enormous public rooms that were former dining halls in the castle, filled with antiques, one with couches and a large flat screen TV for lounging. In the other, you will be awestruck when you see the six priceless tapestries by Raphael. The breakfast was very good, but we wish there was a place in the parador to get other meals, like in other paradors. The small night cafe was less than adequate. Overall, an amazing memorable experience.

    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.
