Hondarribia is divided in two...the upper town and the lower town. Upper town is older and traffic free and is where you must find your way to the Hotel Palacete. Our GPS failed us here, but an amazingly nice local man walked in front of our car and led us to the door of the hotel. Parking is a little... More

What's more charming than touring an old walled city? Staying in a castle on the square which has all the modern conveniences and very nice service. We got the room with the big window overlooking the square which is a noisy playground around 5 pm when the kids get out of school and all the moms sit in a cafe... More

Situated in a beautiful square in the old town, this small family-run hotel provided an excellent and very friendly service at a reasonable price. A short walk from restaurants in the town, both within the walls and outside. The beach at Hendaye is recommended accessed by frequent ferry service.

We had a very nice room on the top floor overlooking one of the two plazas in the old city. The building is beautiful ancient building in the old city, very nicely renovated and with all modern conveniences. The staff really bent over backwards to help us get settled in and then get to the airport on time the next... More

Top hotel, fabulous location. Book it now! Although this was the smallest room we stayed in during 2 weeks in northern Spain it was clean, cosy and very cute. I'd return in a flash! Being in Hondarribbia helps but it really is a lovely place to spend a few nights.

The Hotel Palacete is a hidden gem located on the edge of a pedestrian square in the heart of the medieval old town. The hotel is a modern adaption of a medieval house with access to the upper floors via a stone spiral staircase. Whilst vehicle access to the old town is restricted and parking is limited, the hotel does... More

We did not know what to expect here. The reviews seemed good and the location was perfect, but... We were so glad that we chose Hotel Palacete. The staff were delightfully helpful, the rooms were spacious, the hotel was quiet! We loved our stay here - except perhaps for the four days of rain! Our only problem was finding our... More

On our first trip to Spain, we wanted to begin in Hondarribbia, a picture perfect seacoast town on the border of France reputed to have the best tapas in Spain. Amazingly, the medieval town is literally a 10 minute walk / 3 minute cab ride from the airport for the city of San Sebastian, and this small, charming hotel is... More

We didn't know anything about Hondarribia before we ended up there by mistake. We were very happy about this drawback since it was a lovely small town. Hotel Palacete is situated in a car-free meddieval square which is adorable. Our room was small but functioned well for those few days we stayed there. The young personnel was genuinely kind and...

The tourist office recommended this hotel, and I loved it. Although a bit pricey, it has great character and charm. I stayed in room #2, the most expensive, but simply spectacular. It is almost a suite, with a great rose window overlooking the beautiful pedestrian square. The other rooms are also elegantly furnished, with ultra clean tiled bathrooms. The hotel... More
