Lugar y decoración

No se que decir. Quizá le falta un restaurante.

la chambre est trés bien les lits parfaits les petits dejeuners copieux et diversifiés

la vue de notre chambre à l'étage 3 qui donne sur des poutrelles ou la poussière est omni présente, dommage pour ce genre d'établissement

Tolles haus

Fenster zu klein

El Parador es muy bonito

Wunderschönes historisches Gebäude, in das der Hotelbetrieb baulich gut und sensibel integriert wurde. Großartiger Blick von der Terrasse auf Hafen und Bucht von Hondarribia. Geräumige Zimmer, gutes Frühstück, freundliches und sehr professionelles Personal.

Obwohl die Zimmereinrichtung sehr gut instandgehalten wird und Zimmer und Bad sehr sauber sind, wirkt sie schon ein wenig abgenutzt. Das Badezimmer ist nicht mehr auf dem Stand eines modernen 5-Stern-Betriebes.

Tout mais surtout l’emplacement et la maison forte elle-même.

Rien

ロケーションもよかったし、部屋からの眺望も最高でした。古城ならではの雰囲気がとても気に入りました。レストランの外のテラスが眺めもよくとても気持ちよかった。

beautiful old building, lovingly restored with a fabulous view across the bay to France. Very pleasant staff - easy to walk into the village and lots of restaurants / bars nearby

nothing

A worthwhile treat in a beautifully restored ancient castle steeped in wonderful history. Beautiful rooms; ours overlooked the harbour and we could see planes land at San Sebastián airport. The place is surrounded by medieval buildings many of which are now lovely restaurants! We did a guided tour of the town which I highly recommend to you. Rooms are not cheap but for a couple of nights, remind yourself that you pass this way only once.

歴史的建造物で、ロケーションが良い。

L emplacement exceptionnel. Le bâtiment magnifique La vue du bar de l hôtel extraordinaire Un lieu dont on se souvient

Infrastructures vieillissantes. Évier bouché et cassé dans la salle de bain de notre chambre Moquettes usées De nombreux escaliers à emprunter avec nos bagages pour accéder à la chambre

De ligging van dit hotel is fantastisch! Alleen daarvoor ga je al terug, zo gaaf. En de historie van het gebouw is geweldig.

Hoewel het ontbijt heerlijk was, zijn de stoelen wel aan vervanging toe (allemaal!). Zakken door en waren ook niet schoon. Dat hadden wij echt anders verwacht, zo jammer, want de ontbijt ervaring kan zoveel mooier zijn.

Équipement et petit déjeuner très moyen

The first of our three parador stays as we drive from UK to Algarve and back this summer. Fantastic location with historic cannon ball and bullet damaged walls. Great breakfast room setting and supper food. Just loved the cake and coffee bar along with our complimentary vermouth pre dinner. Location wonderful and easy stroll down to the marina and back. Shame it rained when the festival was arranged for last night, but really pleased we’d booked Mika restaurant just outside the door. Only grumble was that the EV charger did everything but charge my car or credit card!

De omgeving, de locatie, het historische gebouw, het ontbijt.

Geen mogelijkheid om iets te eten op het mooie terras, zelfs geen tapas! Voor ons onbegrijpelijk.

The paradore has it's own private parking which is worth going for. However getting there is an act of faith by following the paradore signs of increasingly narrow and pedstrian thronged streets. Do not despair but wide vehicles might want to recce on foot first. The paradore is good and in a great position. Interesting building dating back to Charles I (or V - father of Philip II, of Armada notoriety). Breakfast good, typical parador setup. They don't serve evening meals but drinks on the terrace overlooking the estuary and border with France is very pleasant. Plenty of bars in the square right outside the paradore entrance.

Volvemos cada año para celebrar mi cumpleaños y nos encanta. El parador es precioso, en un lugar perfecto y el desayuno espectacular.

Der Parador, seine Lage und Ausstattung sind außergewöhnlich. Das Personal sehr freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Obwohl wir ein Standardzimmer gebucht hatten bekamen wir ohne Aufpreis ein Zimmer mit einem wunderschönen Blick zum Meer.

Nichts, alles war perfekt.

L'emplacement avec une vue splendide. L'intérieur de la bâtisse

Pas la possibilité de réserver un parking dans une zone instationnable. Pas de salon un peu cosy pour prendre un verre quand il pleut. Tarif très élevé alors que le standing de la chambre et Sdb reste assez basique..

Kindness of Rafael at the reception, available, professional and extremely pleasant with the customer !

La accesibilidad a las habitaciones era por medio de varias escaleras que cargado de maletas era complicado llegar

An experience at a wonderful Parador at an amazing location. The reception staff made us feel very welcome, both an example to the rest of the staff. Breakfast was limited but nice, and again with a great location, particularly if you sit outside. A great place to stay for a few days.

If the staff had been as enthusiastic as the two gentlemen at reception, the experience would had been even better.

Had a four night stay in this historic castle. Lovely view of the bay from our room, but I see that a lot of rooms just overlook the internal courtyard. Room is of average size and decor. Small windows as befits a castle/stronghold (and the cannonball indentations on the walls to prove it). Bathroom had a bath with overhead shower. Plenty of hot water. Kettle and mini fridge supplied but I understand that not all rooms have a kettle so bring your travel kettle if you like tea and coffee in your room. The mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. Breakfast good with bacon and eggs or omlette to order. There is both an indoor residents' lounge and a fantastic shady residents' outdoor terrace with great views of the bay towards Hendaye which is in France. Drinks are very reasonably priced from the bar which is open till 10 pm. There is a lift that can take you down to promenade level not far from the hotel. You can see it from the terrace side of the castle. Three little cafe/restaurants in Plaza de Armas outside the castle. The best local restaurants are the Marisqueros of Udin on the promenade to the right side of the castle as you exit and the Hermandos Fish restaurant to the left side of the promenade as you exit. The buses are all timetabled in Citymapper. The stop is very near the escalator half way along the road towards the town. The flat fare seems to be 2.5 euros whether you go to Irun or San Sebastian. It takes 35 minutes to get to San Sebastian and another 45 after that to get to Getania where the Balenciaga museum is. You can get a boat to Hendaye from the main quay of Hondarribia for 2.6 euros. It only takes 5 minutes. You can come back by boat or walk along the coastal pathway to the train station and Irun. Once you get to Irun I would recommend taking the bus back to Hondarribia. You can walk. The path after Irun is on the opposite side of the airport side. This was a fabulous holiday in a very scenic part of Spain. All the people we met were very pleasant and helpful.

Sehr gut leider hatten wir keine Aussicht

Locatie en ontbijt waren top.

Het was erg gehorig, buren boven ons hoorde je lopen op de harde houten vloer. Bedden zijn erg hard.

Las vistas. Y el edificio.

El acceso en coche. No se me informó de la dificultad de dicho acceso.

Emplazamiento

Falta de restaurante

Beautiful hotel with a lovely view over the city!

Nothing!

A truly unique place with a fascinating history; four stars is a bit of an overstatement. Breakfast was rather poor—unsurprisingly, since the hotel doesn't run its own restaurant, so everything served was quick and standard.

For a 4-star hotel, only the location and the history of the place are good; everything else is looking rather worn...

Equipo profesional, con trato servicial y cercano. Gran desayuno.

El olor de la entrada, junto al ascensor (debido a una puerta de los baños siempre abierta, habia un olor a detergente en toda la estancia). Me cobraron 2 días antes de llegar al hotel, cuando lo pactado era que iba a pagar yo al llegar al hotel (con el método de mi elección, no con la visa utilizada para la reserva).

Perfectly positioned to explore Hondarribia’s Old Town. Staff were responsive and helpful when I left an item behind. Parking was close and convenient.

Very expensive and under-equipped compared to other Paradors. As is to be expected with these hotels, there was a convoluted path to the room navigating frequent changes in level and stairs with luggage. Some staff assistance (or warning/advice at check-in) would be helpful. Lack of onsite restaurant was obvious at breakfast in both staffing and food preparation.

Increíble lugar. Las vistas te quitan el aliento. El personal muy amable, en general.

Es necesario mejorar el mantenimiento de ciertas cosas. Muchas telarañas, alfombras que requieren atención.

窓からの景色も最高。朝食はたいへんおいしかった。

ヨーロッパ全般が熱波で、冷房の効きが悪かったこと。仕方ない。

Our second visit to Hondarribia, but our first stay in the Parador. We booked a junior suite as the hotel was almost fully booked and all that was available, which was a normal sized room with an extra small sitting area, overlooking the river – a fabulous view. Despite being almost full, the service was excellent, the staff friendly, efficient and available, the hotel pristine, and the room comfortable, and quiet, so we had an excellent night’s sleep. Due to the number of guests the breakfast was by sitting, but not rushed, and up to the usual high Parador standard, with more than adequate selection of cold and hot items. The hotel has private, payable parking, which is small so if required it should be pre-booked, and is an “interesting” drive to access, with a 5 minute deviation through the old town to get round a 50m one-way block, and a very tight final bend. A recommendation is to take a look on Google Earth before trying! One downside is that the hotel does not have a restaurant, not normally a problem, as there are numerous good restaurants in Hondarribia, but most are not open on a Sunday evening, when we were there. The hotel reception staff did give us several recommendations, so we did get to eat. In summary, an excellent stay, well up to the high Parador standards.

El hotel cuenta con estacionamiento (de pago), está muy limpio y ofrece un ambiente tranquilo y relajante. Lo mejor de mi estancia fue la habitación 208, con una espectacular vista al mar y panorámicas hacia España y Francia, en el corazón del País Vasco. Sin duda, una experiencia muy agradable que recomendaría. The hotel has parking (for a fee), is very clean, and offers a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The best part of my stay was Room 208, with a spectacular ocean view and panoramic views of Spain and France, right in the heart of the Basque Country. It was definitely a very pleasant experience that I would recommend.

Como único aspecto a mejorar, me hubiera gustado que el estacionamiento estuviera incluido en la tarifa de la habitación o que tuviera un costo más económico. The only thing that could be improved is that I would have liked parking to be included in the room rate or to cost less.

Magnificent historic building full of character. Central location and helpful staff.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Nos dieron una habitación superior a la habíamos seleccionado por falta de estas y estuvimos súper bien ,mejor imposible En la recepción la chica encantadora Muy amables La cama comodisima,las vistas privilegiadas Un 10

Está en la parte vieja y para acceder te toca ir con la maleta por una calle empedrada,por decir algo que tampoco fue problemático

The most beautiful interior. The two staff on reception were so welcoming and helpful. Location perfect fir walking to restaurants for supper.

At breakfast water not hot enough to make a good cup of tea.

vue de l'hôtel excellente, environnement magnifique. Très bon petit déjeuner, personnel au top.

rapport qualité/prix mauvais : chambre sans vue, petite, très déçus. Avec un tel cadre pas de bar digne de ce nom.

L’emplacement la vue

La décoration de la chambre. Planchers bruyants

Ubicación excelente y muchas facilidades por parte del personal para hacer más fácil el moverse. Quizás el desayuno pudiera mejorarse aunque eso va a gustos.

Beautifully converted and appointed, helpful front desk, lovely views across to France (from exterior rooms), beautiful atrium for breakfast in pretty weather.

Awfully expensive for a cozy room, and breakfast was okay though not excellent.

Son emplacement et l’hôtel par lui même

Ortsmitte war schnell und bequem zu Fuss zu erreichen; dank der Rolltreppen nach 1/3 des Fussweges. Nettes Personal, das sich im Ort nicht gut auskannte.

Die sehr schlecht beleichtete und stickige Tiefgarage. Zufahrt extrem eng gebaut. Man muss extrem aufpassen.

A third floor room (hotel has an elevator) with views on to the sea and estuary. The hotel is in the centre of the old town of Hondarribia, opening on to the main plaza. From here it is very easy to walk around the old town and into the new town and the beach and seafront. There is a lovely terrace overlooking the estuary, a perfect place for evening drinks and to enjoy the sunset. Parts of the building have been renovated, parts have been left in a semi ruined state giving the hotel lots of character. Breakfast is offered in delightful interior patio area.

When booking we asked for a double bed but our room had two singles. The hotel provides breakfast and there is a bar but no restaurant; not a problem as there are several bars and restaruants within two minutes walk.

EL HOTEL EXCEPCIONAL

The location and the superior room was worth the extra cost

I know it's old but... they've completed great refurb bathrooms and bed and linen good quality. However, the wonky (technical term not, but you know what I mean!) occasional table and threadbare lounge chair were not up to standard. Hopefully they're at the top of the next replacement list.

Wat een ervaring. Je waant je in de tijd van Karel de vijfde. Kamers, bedden, ontbijt dikke prima!!

Jammer dat er geen mogelijkheid is voor een zwembad of gym.

Ubicación excelente lugar histórico muy bien remodelado con gusto

Amazing building and location. Great view from The terrace.

Bland rooms, soundproofing lacking. For some reason the staff at breakfast looked very grumpy it was almost funny !

The building is wonderful, as is the interior decor. There are good spaces for relaxation indoors and outside. The room we had was roomy and very comfortable. The location was in the heart of old town Hondarribia, and an easy walk to the harbour.

The route to the Parador, by car, is tricky the first time. For a place of this quality, the breakfast was not up to expectations.

Fantastic stay with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hotel was beautiful, very comfortable, and exceptionally family-friendly. The staff were kind and attentive, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived.

Fabulous place from the reign of Charles V. We had a room facing the bay. Breakfasts are in this semi-enclosed Renaissance interior. The staff and facilities are what one expects from Paradors. One can order drinks and sit outside on a terrace facing the bay. The small plaza outside is quiet and scenic, with walks to great places to eat. We got a taxi to take us to the nearby train station just a few kilometers over the Spanish border.

It is a beautifully restored fort which makes for a unique stay! The rooms are lovely, comfortable and have incredible views! The morning breakfast was a treat and so grateful for the assortment of gluten free options!

El edificio histórico, la ubicacion. Me hicieron un upgrade.

Creo que le hace falta un cambio de las camas por colchón, somier y almohadas mejores. Además cambio en la ducha. No se puede ubicar de manera que uno reciba el agua.

Localização,vista do quarto,pequeno almoço muito bom

Janela da casa de banho sem persiana,deixava entrar a luz da rua através da porta de vidro da casa de banho para a zona do quarto,durante a noite

Wonderful view over the harbour from the terraces and great staff

Still a few steps to carry heavy bags up.

The Parador is situated on high ground overlooking the Spanish/French border. There is a lift from the lower promenade level up to the hotel which is situated in an old town square. The interior and rooms are very good, but note there is not a restaurant at this hotel.

Fabulous building with friendly staff

No restaraunt

Das Gebäude mit der besonderen Architektur, aber klar überteuert.

Excelente

l'amabilité du personnel (réception et service)

古城のホテルに泊まった事が初めてで感動しました。貴重な体験でした。泊まる前は少し料金が高いかねと思いましたが、ロケーションやホテルの外観を見た時に価格以上の価値観を感じました。

スペインの他のホテルと一緒で朝食は質素ででした。

An extremely expensive treat to stay here plus another Euros 21 to park the car overnight.

Staff do not speak or understand English and we believe that they are "in a job for life" as Paradors are State owned and managed.There was no Resturant whihc is highly unusual for Paradoprs (we have stayed in many of them in the past) AND the Resturants in Old Town Hondarribia had also closed down permanently. We attempted to find something to eat at dinner-time in the attached Caffeteria but there was nothing much available as it is also "open to the public" who wander around as in a Museum.

Classic historic building conversion in centre of old town. Comprehensive breakfast selection typical of Paradores

Absence of a restaurant. Only two options open in the old town on a Sunday night. We must have chosen the poorest as all dishes bar the salad were not good.

Loved staying here. There was a very slight complication which receptionist Raphael dealt with expertly and graciously. It could not have been attended to any more efficiently. I heartily recommend this lovely place and it’s excellent staff. Everybody is helpful and pleasant, making our stay very enjoyable.

The site and it's location

The fact that there is no restaurant

Karakteristiek hotel in het midden van het plaatsje met parkeergelegenheid. Het personeel was vriendelijk en het ontbijt heel goed.

Ik kan zo niets bedenken.

We stayed here for a week with a group from Great Rail Journeys.Started in the 10th century the parador is coverted to show all the historic features and provide comfortable rooms with fantastic views across the estuary to Hendaye which is in France close to San Sebastian and Bilbao Also ideal for exploring the Basque region

La beauté !

Les travaux à 8h30 du matin..

Modern rooms set in an ancient castle. We are so impressed that we will visit other paradores on future visits to Spain.

El edificio, la habitación, el desayuno.

Muy caro.

La ubicación

Quizá las camas podrías ser un poco más nuevas

Location in old town

Parking was an issue ,not made clear when booking that streets were very narrow,we were in a camper van znd could not get near hotel

Nous avons été surclassé la chambre et il était très accueillant. Petit dernier était très satisfait.

Wunderschön gelegene Ritterburg mit Blick auf den Hafen. Viele Restaurants/Bars fussläufig, sehr gutes Frühstück

Langer Check-in

El edificio, el personal y la ubicación

Como en muchos paradores, las habitaciones necesitan una reforma profunda. Están viejunas y mal mantenidas

View of the harbour, the boats, tides and nearby France are wonderful.

The staff is doing an adequate job of making the customer appreciated but are far from "wowing" the customer. There's a real opportunity to keep growing towards a feeling of "ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen." The property and the Parador brand deserve it.

Felt like we went back in time. The place is gorgeous and historic.

Parking a car wasn't easy. Had to pay for hotel parking which was 21 Euro a day but was much better than finding paid lot. But that's part of an old town charm so not really a complaint.

The place was beautiful. But I think the price compared to other Paradores is not justified… also no restaurant in the place and the bar is a tiny hallway in the entrance.

Histórico y muy bien acondicionado. Muy céntrico y cómodo. Personal amable. Buen desayuno.

Beautiful place, wonderful staff and service.

Nothing!

Le site est magnifique. Un chateau-fort médiéval dans une cité fortifiée très pittoresque et mignonne. Le parador est très bien rénové et c'est impressionnant de voir des murs épais d'un mètre, et les anciennes installations. Il y a des cafés et tapas dans la rue centrale et des restaurants autour du Parador, même en mars. Le petit déjeuner avec son omelette était vraiment très bon.

La chambre n'était pas énorme, mais assez grande pour deux.
