The location is perfect for travellers as it is in the border between France and Spain. We received very detailed instructions about the check-in process (which is automatic) before our arrival. Breakfast was nice with many options to choose from, and the staff was very polite and helpful. The amazing view is the highlight of this property.

A wonderful town with a lot of character and great views of the river/bay. I would love to go back. The restaurant area is nice, as is the walking area by the water. Find free parking near the large grocery store and walk in. Hard to find parking

There were things I wanted to do and see but the weather wasn’t great. I think it’s over hyped and over priced in relation to the food. San Sebastián was much better and had more choice and was much better value. The area is of course beautiful and the old town was worth seeing but it does have its limitations.

Lovely place to use as base for day trips to Biaritz an San Sebastiaan. It also has a wide sandy beach, lovely promenade and wide leafy pedestrian walkways. The old town and the colourful old buildings are very interesting.

Very nice little town right at the border with France, giving you the opportunity to visit places at the both sides of the Basque country. It has very nice sandy beach at the end of the quite a long walkway where people walk, ride bikes, rollers, skates. You can enjoy sitting at the nice cafeterias around the city, but the main experience is actually the medieval, fortified city center located few minutes walk from the sea. Narrow streets, beautiful stone buildings, nice restaurants, small town squares. Definitely a city worth of visiting!

1)Hondarribia is a place I liked very much, lots to see and do and a beautiful harbour for swimming.
2) Take a little ferry to France, have lunch and have a drink at one of the many bars / restaurants.
3) You MUST go to the La Hermandad de Pescadores, what a wonderful experience, delicious food, nice wine and very pleasant staff .
4) I thought the Pintxos were very boring compared to what's on offer in San Sebastian

There are numerous excellent tapas bars and restaurants both on San Pedro and up in the old town which is very pleasant and has great views. The quality and variety of seafood is fantastic. The supermarket shopping in nearby Irun is very competitive price-wise.
Classic Basque caserio very close to Hondarribia and Irun with some great restaurants and tapas bars within cycling, or walking, distance. The hosts are very friendly and Rosa has a wealth of stories and information about the area (you'll need to speak Spanish, or Basque though...). Superb breakfast, including delicious local pastries, served on the terrace with great views over the countryside. Great position for cycling up Jaizkibel (an imposing local mountain) or along the Bidasoa river 'via verde', or into France.
Fantastic hotel in a gorgeous building, with a charming terrace restaurant/bar. The staff were so friendly and helpful and made our holiday extremely enjoyable. Location perfect, in the centre of the old town with its cobbled streets, beautiful buildings, plentiful tapas bars and great views. Loved it. By chance we were entertained first by a concert set up in the square in front of the hotel, and later by a film crew recording a period drama in the streets. Fabulous place.
Everything was great. This is a stunning property up on the hill above Hondarribia. The host is very welcoming, speaks perfect English, and went out of his way to be helpful. A short 15 min walk to bars and restaurants. Safe parking for motorbikes. The breakfast was amazing. The room was very clean and comfortable. The view is stunning. Cannot fault the stay at all.
The location was perfect. It was great to stay in a typical building on the Main Street of Hondarribia. We really enjoyed the festive atmosphere. Hondarribia is one of the most beautiful towns in Spain and staying at Mariñelarena made our trip perfect. Very nice staff.
This must be our best stay ever:
Beautiful accommodations with a gorgeous view of the mountains, incredible breakfasts and most helpful and cordial owner! 30 minutes to San Sebastián and 40 min to Biarritz by car.
Thank you so much!
Appartment on the 3rd floor, accessible with a lift. Location is great, near restaurants, bars and the beach. It was very clean and spacious. We could park our car in front (paid parking). Would visit it again!
Lovely location over looking the river, near the beach. The owner was kind enough to turn on the heat, as the weather had turned cold and damp. Great parking garage. Very small kitchen was nicely equipped.
Great hotel that is in the old part of the city. Room felt like you were staying in a castle. Tapas bar next door and short walk to centre of the old town. Great breakfast.
The rooms were spacious and elegantly appointed. The building is in a great location and is culturally interesting. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. Parador quality!
Historic building, nice and comfortable room, perfect location just in the center, good breakfast, parking by the hotel ( could have been free for guests)
