Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Staying in this beautifully renovated historic castle is generally considered a wonderful experience, with spacious and unique rooms adding to the charm. The location is a highlight, offering great views of the bay and convenient access to Hondarribia town, sometimes via a lift from behind the hotel. While some guests have found the parking fee of 20 euros a night quite high, many appreciate the convenience of having a parking place and enjoy starting their day with a rich breakfast in the castle courtyard, not forgetting the option to order tasty hot meal. Some rooms also feature sea views, creating a memorable backdrop.
