Friendly, pretty, clean. This was our third time to stay at Hotel Palacete and we'd love to return.

This hotel is perfectly located within the old city, surrounded by many cultural highlights and not far from the main area with restaurants. Extremely friendly staff and beautiful room!

What a privilege to stay here !
This attractive guest house is located 10 minutes’ walk from the beach. Set in pretty gardens, it offers an outdoor pool, a terrace and scenic sea and countryside views.

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.
Old Town was brilliant.
Great base to visit San Sebastián & a short boat ride across the harbour to Hendaye (France), which we knew nothing about but where the beach & the promenade were a real (pleasant!) surprise.

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
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.
This is one of the wonderful experiences with booking.
Really CLEAN and comfortable app. A/c in every room. Kitchen is wide and full equipped. Thanks for complimentary tea/coffee/salt/sugar - as a traveler always need this!
WiFi 400Mb up/down speed - kudos! AP on every floor!
Private parking near the house is very convenient
Location is 5m walk from a center and 15m walk from the beach. Beach itself is very big and clean sand
Pool is present on site but we not used it (seems not heating)
Host is very helpful!
Loved the decor!!
It’s such a beautiful hotel and the room was extremely clean. Ther service was also exceptionally good.
The reception room was my favourite space, beautiful yet so comfy and inviting with fire on that I spent few minutes to wind down and warm up even in April every evening when we con back.
The breakfast had all I’d want.
The spa was a bonus.
Everything was perfect for our stay and I would love to go back. Thank you for a lovely stay.
The hotel is in the centre of the old walled town.
Parking is available free about 5 minutes walk away.
There is a small cafe bar on site, but closes by 2300.
The hotel is attractive & situated in a beautiful square.
The main attraction for us was the newer part of town about 10 minutes walk away, with many bars & restaurants.
The river which separates France & Spain is just beyond.
Comfortable bed.
Helpful staff, English speaking.
The location in Hondarribia is excellent, right in the centre of town. We opted to pay for parking outside which at €8 was very reasonable. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room ( the most basic) was pretty and very comfortable and clean, with steps up to a stone balcony with views over the river.
It’s also next door to an excellent tapas bar which serves really delicious food.

Clean, standard hotel room in superb location and professional, friendly staff. Right on the doorstep of excellent plazas and restaurants and only a short stroll to the Old Town. Free parking only 10-15 minutes walk away, but you could also park at the front of the hotel for 10 minutes for free while you drop your bags off or re-load them.
Beautiful apartment - well appointed, stylish and spacious. Great location - edge of old town with local bars / restaurants and short / pleasant walk to rest of town, beach, harbour etc. Free public parking close by and decent sized supermarket just around the corner. Lots of useful information provided as part of the check in process.
Clean, spacious facility, with lovely views from many of the decks and windows. The four bedrooms, three bathrooms was perfect for our party of four.
It was really helpful to have a washer on site since we had been traveling for days.
Great location for day tripping to San Sebastián, Irun, and Pasai. Close to the airport.
We were on a three week vacation to Spain & Morocco, and Villa Magalean was the highlight. This is one of the cutest hotels we’ve stayed in, and they offered us a free upgrade for our honeymoon. 🥰
Beautiful, spacious and bright rooms only a short walk to the elevator to the old town. Definitely recommend staying here!
We had a beautiful room with a view over the sea in a fantastic historic building. The location inside the historic center of Hondarribia is great. here are nice restaurants and bars nearby. Hotel staff is very helpful and friendly. We highly recommend and are happy to come back one day.
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.
Perfectly placed for access to all the bars and restaurants in Hondarribia. Parking is a little difficult but we managed. Apartment was spotless on arrival and very well equipped and managed. Would rent this property again.
Centrally located, right in the middle of a bustling town, but with access to (paid for) underground parking - well worth booking.
Great welcome by the staff, who were keen to ensure that all questions were answered.
Good location to visit old town with close distance to restaurants. Calm neighbourhood. Own parking in front of the hotel. Nice rooms with basic equipment. Friendly staff.
