Net net a slight disappointment after the Parador at Baiona that is a much better experience all round. Because it's an old castle there are few windows so it's very very dark inside and feels a little damp too, despite our visiting in summer. Rooms up to usual Parador standards and restaurant (breakfast only) excellent. Not a great deal of... More

My wife and I last visited this Parador about 7 years ago when you could still access the castle from the square. Imagine our horror when we discovered a. that the road to the square was now closed to traffic b.the alternative road was blocked for roadworks and the only approach was via the narrowest of roads and the inevitability...

We had spent all day in the car driving through France and when we arrived at Hondarribia it was frustrating that the sat-nav was useless for finding the Parador and it was so poorly sign-posted. When we did find signs it was confusing working out the traffic light arrangement although a 'local' person did put us right. Then we had... More

This is a great and stunning building but the rate quality/price is low... not really good value for your money. Starting from the fact that you really don't have access by car to the entry door... you can park the car in the private parking an then have a 2 staircases in the open (it was raining when we arrived)...

On a recent trip to the basque country my wife and I wanted to revisit the parador, a place we have stayed in several times over the years for its excellent ambiance and historical interest. However, on arriving at reception we were told that the room was 150 euros, something of a shock bearing in mind the prices they used... More

We stayed at the Parador de Hondarribia on our way to France and again on our way home. The houses and streets of Hondarribia are postcard picturesque, the great stone, fortress-like Parador overlooks the old town. From the sea-view rooms you feel as though you can reach out and touch France just across the water. The parador does not do... More

We have stayed here many times over the years when visiting the Pays Basque. This hotel is located in the heart of the old town and can be a little tricky to find if you are using GPS. Take my advice forget that and use the adequate road signs which will get you there. There is a small car park... More

Parador Hondarribia is one of the best-known Paradores in Spain. This historical castle makes you feel back in the Middle Ages, with its thick stone walls, lances, cannon, arches, armour, wrought iron and coffered ceilings. Magnificent and charming interior! We enjoyed the splendid views of the French coast and the sea from the terrace. There is no restaurant in this... More

We loved Hondarribia and this hotel is situated in a great location, overlooking the bay. Being a historic monument, its splendour is breathtaking and the renovation has been wonderfully done. The room was comfortable but a view of the internal courtyard, whilst historic (!) is not the best and we did not particularly appreciate the twin room when we had... More
