This is our Best Value pick for Hondarribia. It is a 4-star hotel that guests place close to the historic centre and its restaurants, on a quiet street. It suits couples who want to eat out on foot and families, since family rooms are listed. A pool, garden, terrace and restaurant are listed too.
Skip it if you want a spa or a top-rated stay. Our Luxury pick scores much higher. Also be aware that some guests feel the rates are high for the quality and the star rating, so check what your room offers before you pay.
Location and getting around
The address listed is Nafarroa Behera. Guests describe it as close to the historic centre and to restaurants, on a quiet street, and they rate the location 9.2 out of 10.
The only sight in our data is Cape Higuer Lighthouse, 3.3 km away, about 41 minutes on foot. That is a straight-line estimate and it is far, so plan on public transport, a taxi or a car. Beach appears among the facilities, but that does not confirm a beachfront position or any walking distance to a beach. Parking is not listed in our data, so ask before you drive.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 1,682 reviews. Guests like the setting near the old centre and its restaurants, on a calm street. Reception staff come across as friendly, helpful advice and a warm welcome.
The complaint in our data is about price. Some guests say the nightly rates do not match the quality or the star rating. We have not assessed room size, noise or renovation condition, so read recent reviews for your room type.
Price and what you get, compared with our other Hondarribia picks
The reference price was €85.50 per night, about €171 for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. That is 34% below the sample median of €129.45. It is a reference price seen for those dates, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Breakfast is listed as full English or Irish and buffet. Inclusion in your rate is not confirmed. The pool is listed, but its type and whether it is open in November are not confirmed.
Hotel Jauregui, our Budget pick, is a 3-star hotel scoring 8.7 at €79 per night. Villa Magalean Hotel & Spa, our Luxury pick, is a 4-star scoring 9.6 at €216. For €6.50 more a night than Jauregui you get a fourth star, a pool and a slightly higher score.

Before you book
Check whether breakfast is included. Ask if the pool is open on your dates. If you drive, confirm parking, since none is listed.
Compare your rate with Hotel Jauregui for the same dates, as the gap may change. Read the cancellation terms, which we have not assessed.
