Experience life in the old town of Hondarribia
Pros:

A third floor room (hotel has an elevator) with views on to the sea and estuary. The hotel is in the centre of the old town of Hondarribia, opening on to the main plaza. From here it is very easy to walk around the old town and into the new town and the beach and seafront. There is a lovely terrace overlooking the estuary, a perfect place for evening drinks and to enjoy the sunset. Parts of the building have been renovated, parts have been left in a semi ruined state giving the hotel lots of character. Breakfast is offered in delightful interior patio area.

Cons:

When booking we asked for a double bed but our room had two singles. The hotel provides breakfast and there is a bar but no restaurant; not a problem as there are several bars and restaruants within two minutes walk.

Pros:

The location and the superior room was worth the extra cost

Cons:

I know it's old but... they've completed great refurb bathrooms and bed and linen good quality.

However, the wonky (technical term not, but you know what I mean!) occasional table and threadbare lounge chair were not up to standard. Hopefully they're at the top of the next replacement list.

Pros:

The building is wonderful, as is the interior decor. There are good spaces for relaxation indoors and outside. The room we had was roomy and very comfortable. The location was in the heart of old town Hondarribia, and an easy walk to the harbour.

Cons:

The route to the Parador, by car, is tricky the first time. For a place of this quality, the breakfast was not up to expectations.

Over the top location.
Pros:

Fabulous place from the reign of Charles V. We had a room facing the bay. Breakfasts are in this semi-enclosed Renaissance interior. The staff and facilities are what one expects from Paradors. One can order drinks and sit outside on a terrace facing the bay. The small plaza outside is quiet and scenic, with walks to great places to eat. We got a taxi to take us to the nearby train station just a few kilometers over the Spanish border.

Dormir con historia
Pros:

El edificio histórico, la ubicacion.
Me hicieron un upgrade.

Cons:

Creo que le hace falta un cambio de las camas por colchón, somier y almohadas mejores.
Además cambio en la ducha. No se puede ubicar de manera que uno reciba el agua.
