Iker on the front desk was fabulous. Our cleaning lady was great. Super convenient walk into this very cute town. Ate at Sugarri restaurant which was very good. Pool wasn't open which was a shame since it was still very warm out. The ac in our room is controlled by the front desk but turns itself off after a while i guess. We did have to call down in the middle of the night when we woke up hot to ask them to turn it back on.

No prior notice, nothing on the website, the only way you find out is if you try to book a table online, it is declined, or you get told when you check in, not good

Our room was next to the office, so could hear talking constantly. It was also looked into from the gardens and common areas. The bathroom window would not close properly which made us nervous being on the ground floor. A little tatty here and there and could do with a bit of tlc. Nice lounge/bar area though.

The reservation made and paid at Travelcity was different than the one received by the hotel. We paid for a 3 persons / 3 beds or 2 doubles and actually got a 1 double bed room. Even as I shown the reservation to the staff they took no responsibility and were not helpful, even after I shown then a confirmation mail by the hotel where it clearly said 3 persons / 3 beds or 2 doubles. We had to stay because there was no rooms available in the nearby hotels and the staff. The communication between Travelcity and the hotel is really bad and they just ping pong between each other the responsibility and the customer pays the price.

At first glance hotel setting is lovely & parklike but as we stayed longer I felt certain things looked a little shabby and the rooms had no personality except for the terraces on the 2nd floor which both of our rooms had. This was a nice feature as we could enjoy a glass of wine before heading out for dinner. The double beds are just that...too small for 2 adults.

Great location, comfortable, and parking on site.

The hotel is perfectly located of a main street, but still quiet. This is a small boutique hotel that is situated at when you first enter the town, and within walking distance to anything you may want. I have been wanting to eat at Restaurante Alameda, and it is a very short 5 minute walk from the hotel.
The rooms are understated and modern, and my bed was very comfortable. My only complaint was that I was informed the day of my arrival that I would not have a double bed as booked but 2 singles instead. This is a very small complaint, and did not impact my stay overall. I did choose a room that had a terrace, and I would recommend this option to anyone who may be traveling with children, as just a room might feel small.
The staff were very helpful, and there was plenty of coffee with a sitting area, and the grounds themselves were lovely. I only stayed for one night, but wish I had stayed for at least a few. I look forward to staying again, and absolutely love this small hotel and the town of Hondarribia.

The room was clean and very comfortable, with great amenities including a full bath. Service was friendly and helpful. The very immediate area of the hotel wasn’t of great interest, but it was quiet. And just a 10 minute walk away –up a long flight of stairs, or take the free public elevator! – is the fascinating old city, with narrow streets, intriguing buildings, great restaurants.

Convenient

This simple small hotel is within walking distance to San Sebastian airport, within a block's walk to public transportation (San Sebastian is about 20 min. bus ride), the old town of Hondarribia has lots of bar/restaurants (including one very good vegetarian, Curry Verde), and you can walk to get the boat (water taxi) to Hendaye, France which is also a small town with lots of restaurants and beautiful beach area. If you are looking for a clean, convenient, safe place I would recommend this hotel.
Remember you are near the airport so you will hear planes taking off however I did not hear them at night.
There is also a restaurant in the hotel in case you don't want to walk into town.

A real beautiful location for a nice hotel. Staff were really attentive and answered all our questions with a smile. Rooms were ample, comfortable and clean, but you can notice the time passing through them.

Excellent location!

The hotel is in an excellent location, just below the old town, accessible by a free lift & just 10 mins walk from the Fisherman's Quarter. The hotel grounds were lovely with a good pool & trees all around. The staff were very polite, friendly & helpful; any requests were quickly & happily dealt with. Those extras such as apples laid out for the guests on each floor & a coffee machine in every room made all the difference. We ate the restaurant food on one occasion at lunch time & it was particularly delicious. The waiter also set the table in the garden for us, which made it better still. The only minus was that this 4* hotel would benefit from little extra maintenance particularly in the bathroom we had, which had a plastic bath which was damaged in a number of places & the door veneer as well. Apart from that, the hotel was overall excellent & we very much enjoyed our stay there.

Nice hotel, close to the old town and river side

Initially, our third floor room was tiny and our A/C was broken. We spent two nights in this room and then we were moved to a much bigger suite on floor zero, with a veranda, and perfectly functional A/C. the pool and surrounding garden are beautiful, but you would have needed to use your car if you wanted to go to the beach and had lots to carry. The hotel is also quite pricey, especially since the rate was for room only, although given that we ended up in a suite, the price we were paying seemed much fairer.

The hotel is of a high standard and is surrounded by nice gardens. The breakfast buffet had a wide range of food. We also had an evening meal in the hotel restaurant. The set menu was 22 Euros plus VAT and was good value. We thought the overnight rate a little high considering it was February and there were only about three rooms occupied.
