Disappointing and expensive. Cold wet and windy ...unhappy stay in a beautiful castle.
Pros:

An extremely expensive treat to stay here plus another Euros 21 to park the car overnight.

Cons:

Staff do not speak or understand English and we believe that they are "in a job for life" as Paradors are State owned and managed.There was no Resturant whihc is highly unusual for Paradoprs (we have stayed in many of them in the past) AND the Resturants in Old Town Hondarribia had also closed down permanently.

We attempted to find something to eat at dinner-time in the attached Caffeteria but there was nothing much available as it is also "open to the public" who wander around as in a Museum.

Not our best Paradores experience
Pros:

Classic historic building conversion in centre of old town. Comprehensive breakfast selection typical of Paradores

Cons:

Absence of a restaurant. Only two options open in the old town on a Sunday night. We must have chosen the poorest as all dishes bar the salad were not good.

Reception staff excellent
Pros:

Loved staying here. There was a very slight complication which receptionist Raphael dealt with expertly and graciously. It could not have been attended to any more efficiently.
I heartily recommend this lovely place and it’s excellent staff. Everybody is helpful and pleasant, making our stay very enjoyable.

We stayed here for a week with a group from Great Rail Journeys.Started in the 10th century the parador is coverted to show all the historic features and provide comfortable rooms with fantastic views across the estuary to Hendaye which is in France close to San Sebastian and Bilbao Also ideal for exploring the Basque region

the Classiest Hotel We Have Ever Seen.
Pros:

Modern rooms set in an ancient castle. We are so impressed that we will visit other paradores on future visits to Spain.

Good, almost great.
Pros:

View of the harbour, the boats, tides and nearby France are wonderful.

Cons:

The staff is doing an adequate job of making the customer appreciated but are far from "wowing" the customer. There's a real opportunity to keep growing towards a feeling of "ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen." The property and the Parador brand deserve it.
