We stayed for 3 nights/4 days in Getaria and the hotel staff couldn't have been more helpful. It was only after we had left that I discovered that the man and woman who had first been on reception were the owners. They were incredibly unpresumptious, kind and helpful with our every need. The room (32 and with sea view) was... more

This hotel was a beauty. It only has two stars but definitely deserves another. The location is terrific and they have a covered garage for your car if you reserve ahead. The owners and the receptionist are all very friendly and are full of travel advice and knowledge of Spain. We are using Frommers but many of the little villages... more

Quiet hotel with lovely view of sea. Staff excellent and very friendly. Breakfast of good quality and choice. Room of good size and very clean. more

We stopped off at Saiaz Getaria Hotel for 2 nights on our way back from San Sebastian to Bilbao. The hotel really did live up to expectations and the website. The rooms were very spacious with all mod cons. I had requested seaview rooms and that's exactly what we got - a beautiful view of an expanse of ocean. The... more

In May 2008 me and my sister in law went to the Basque area figure out what this part of Spain looked like and also to walk a few steps on the Camino (the pilgrims way to Santiago de Compostela). Somehow we just ended up in Getaria, we came by bus from Bilbao, jumped off and walked down one of... more

My partner and I plus three friends booked the SaiazGetaria as the base for the second half of a weekend that started in Bilbao. We never got as far as San Sebastian because the hotel was a great place to read, relax, hang out and to watch the surfers. Getaria has some excellent fish restaurants and some interesting walks; part... more

We just returned from three nights at the Saiaz Getaria Hotel. What a find! A beautifully restored 15th century nobleman's home on a quiet street in a quaint fisherman's village. You get the best of both worlds: quiet, clean relaxed atmosphere, but only a 20- minute drive to San Sebastia and 45 minutes to Bilbao. We used Getaria as a... more

We (3 persons) traveled to North East Spain this month (April 2009). I first considered staying in San Sebastian for a few nights as a rest stop on our way to Bilbao and the Guggenheim Museum. I wanted to check into a hotel before dark so the 6 1/2 hour drive from central France took us as far as the... more

Although I only gave the hotel a three, it was a great place to stay. First off, the room was rather small and plain. For the price its what you would expect. However it was clean and the sea view was tremendous! If you look on the hotel website you'll see neat stone walled rooms. However, I believe these are... more
