The location and showers are superb.
In the first instance I didn’t like my room because it was tucked behind the public restroom which was noisy. But upon request the staff changed my room which was lovely.
Set in Hondarribia city centre, Hotel Jauregui is 5 minutes' walk from the beach and 2.1 km from San Sebastián Airport, and 35 minutes' drive from Saint Jean de Luz.

Staff, location, large room, good breakfast - fabbo!
There is a car park very near which you have to pay for 10 - 8pm. Lots of bars / restaurants nearby.
An elegant and modern hotel, this establishment is situated in an exclusive setting in the residential area of Hondarribia with views of Jaizkibel Mountain. It is 10 minutes' walk to the town centre.

A very good hotel, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the place was very stylish and clean. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Will definitely stay again. Secure underground car park.

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.

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.
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!

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.
Absolutely the loveliest accommodations we have had in Spain, as we have traveled all around the country. The staff went out of their way to assist whether we needed an early breakfast, restaurant recommendations, a taxi, or help arranging laundry services. We had a magical view of the river from our window seat in the very spacious junior suite. The sunrise was incredible. I cannot say enough positive things about this parador.
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.
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.
This must be our best stay ever:
Beautiful accommodations with a gorgeous view of the mountains, incredible breakfasts and most helpful and cordial owner! 30 minutes to San Sebastián and 40 min to Biarritz by car.
Thank you so much!
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.
Lovely location over looking the river, near the beach. The owner was kind enough to turn on the heat, as the weather had turned cold and damp. Great parking garage. Very small kitchen was nicely equipped.
Very modern, clean and spacious room. Friendly staff. The hotel is situated in a perfect location, close to the waterfront and many bars and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again!
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.
Nice hotel, great location. Walking distance to city center and bars and restaurants. Good WiFi. Decent buffet breakfast. I would definitely stay there again.
