Parador de Hondarribia

Amazing ancient castle in the heart of the historical part of the city. Great service and view on the bay.

What an amazing stay! The staff at the hotel is top notch!!!

We've stayed in several of the Parador Hotels, and I must say this one is my favorite. It kind of takes you back into time. The service is awesome, and the plaza that is located at as well as the surroundings blend with the castle.

A stunning parador near the French border. This used to be a castle, would you believe it.

If you ever want to sleep in a medieval castle and the same time a museum, at an incredible location then this is your chance. Modern outfitted rooms in the remains of a (post)Medieval building/ castle that appeared to have been of Carlos V. The rooms are fine with an incredible view (our room was looking on the bay , parking side). I booked it because I wanted to stay in a parador and the location was on a good distance for travel but I didn't check the town. It appeared to be a very Interesting medieval town and building with lots of history. Throughout the hotel you find historical artifacts and antiquities that are mostly originals collected from different historical places in the town according to the receptionist. The life of Achilles (castle wall size) tapestries of Pieter Paul Rubens in the Salon meeting room are the icing on the cake. The salon interior is breathtaking. We had a wine on the terrace of the Bar and the breakfast was fine. The only minus is that this is the only parador without restaurant but compensated because there are restaurants on walking distance in the town.

This hotel is a great experience. Only here two nights but enjoying every bit of yhe views and the castle.

Superb service and views from room 306 Jr Suite are incomparable.

What a beautifully located hotel overlooking Hondarribia as well as Henday. Impressive welcome by Mikel and Maïté who made you feel welcome from the moment you stepped into the hotel. The building is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable and well equipped. Costas is a great barman. Breakfast buffet is extensive and a great selection of offerings. The inside of the hotel is like a museum worth visiting.
On site parking is available but if you have a big car get used to some serious manoeuvring.
Muchas Gracias to the whole team for making it such an enjoyable stay.

Wonderful stay here- our large room had huge window overlooking caste courtyard and bay. Everything about this parador was top notch. Room was impeccable. Coffees teas chocolates robes slippers all provided. Breakfast was delicious and elegant. Can walk to many dinner choices and park nearby. The castle itself is breathtaking and the surrounding community is intact as if we were lived back in those times. It was such a pleasure all around.

Ninety-four Paradors are located in Spain, have you been one yet? We love this Parador right at the border of Spain & France over looking the ocean! Lovely surrounding! Not to mention there are nice seafood restaurants within walking distance! P.S the lady at the reception is really nice and she was sharing her own parador experience with us as well! So beautiful!

Kaixho from the heart of Basque country. Restored castle overlooking the harbor. Beautiful location with gorgeous views! Rooms are very nice and spacious. Staff friendly and fluent in Spanish, French and English. Possibly Basque, but how would I know?

Doing basic research into our second Spanish road trip, hopefully happening in September 2022. We have stayed at several paradores in the past and without exception they are 5* establishments in every respect. They provide beautiful historic buildings with superb accomodation, first class service, fantastic food and wine and every parador we have stayed at, makes us feel very special guests. What a pity the U.K. does not have equivalent beautiful hotels.

This is a must stay if you are in this area. Beautiful views, in the center of activity and sights, interesting architecturally unique rooms. Be warned Front staff are a bit stiff and not to helpful.

We had just walked 20 Kms from Beta. My room was not ready, but I got an upgrade to a seaview room and a beer whilst I waited. The nearby public lift to lower streets was also very handy. Friendly and helpful staff, great ambience in the hotel.

When you stay in a Parador, the real reason is the building. This one is exceptional - a 10th century fortress in one of the prettiest villages in Spain. As with other Paradors, this one could use some help with furnishings (the bed in my room was rock hard and broken such that it actually woke me up at night) and services (why can't they email me a copy of my bill and let me check out online? Do they really need to make guests queue at reception for that?). In particular, this Parador would be better they had a restaurant. Still, it's a great overall experience and I'd gladly return.

We didn't stay here but it looks a great place to stay, the building is such an amazing bit of history and the hotel have kept the charm and history intact, brilliant conservation and the building has as second Life for many years to come.

I was at the bar with some friends. It is worth the visit just to see the inside of the building. As a tip, eventhough the main part of the "parador" is just for clients, the toilets of the bar are inside so even if you do not "receive the call" you should go to the toilets. Also, visit the top floor of the bar, the art there is amazing.

Just went to the cafeteria but this place has a great view of Fuenterrabía. The terrace is very nice too. The building is an ancient castle of Carlos III king of Spain.

Great room. Breakfast was very nice. Common areas were large and comfortable. And you're in a real castle. Cool.

As itr turned out, this business refunded my costs, I am sincerely grateful and I will most assuredly look forward to my stay with them when the EU allows our travel. Thank you, sorry I was harsh. Reed Robbins
