We found the breakfasts at the private hotels to be better than those of the Paradors. The staff could have been warmer.”

“Excellent staff and awesome Medieval palace. We had a huge corner room with views of the harbour from all windows, including the bathroom (a benefit of booking so early). The only information we could have used beforehand was the locked parking lot which is at the bottom of steep steps--not easy to maneuver luggage. We had a bonus of a Medieval Festival during our stay!”

The Parador is beautiful and historic and the views, including from my window and balcony, were breathtaking. The staff was extremely helpful. I loved my stay.
Didn't Like:
Getting in and out of the parking lot was extremely difficult, but I doubt that can be changed.”

“It was an experience to stay in a parador. The buiding was incredible and the views stunning. but the bedrooms could have been anywhere. but were most comforatble and gave me a taste of how the other half live! it did not make me feel that I had to do it again. as I say we went camping in the Spanish pyrennes and they were stunning and the facities as good! but the breakfast at the parador was great! We have said that we would try another one again for a night to add to our experieces!
Thanks.

Location and public rooms very, very pleasant. Staff very accommodating.

The parking and access to the parador are problematic. Having to carry suitcases up the stairs from the parking is an issue. Standard room facing into the courtyard is very dark, and for the price one would expect better.”

Room was very poor, across the hall from noisy kitchen that woke us early every morning. Staff was friendly but not very helpful in suggesting places to dine or getting around town.”

We loved the location and the building. The housekeeping lady was wonderful, charming, pleasant and efficient. Additionally, the female evening bar attendant on our second night was very helpful, pleasant and tried hard to make us feel welcome. She saw us later and even said good night as she was leaving to go home.
Didn't Like:
Where do I start? The hotel staff made us feel like we were imposing and that our requests were unreasonable. For example, I ALWAYS ask that my mini-bar be emptied because I never use the items, and I like to use the refrigerator for my own purposes. The front desk staff said this was "highly unusual" and got huffy, but accommodated the request, but only after acting like he felt we were idiots. The breakfast experience was wholly disappointing. We had to seek out a staff member who was sitting in the back, had to repeatedly ask for basics, such as napkins (there were NONE on any of the tables either morning we were there), and again, we were made to feel as if we were imposing or interrupting someone's break. Finally, there are MULTIPLE levels of stairs in this property, including a SERIOUS hike up a long flight of stairs from the parking area to the main entrance, and even after you exit the Lift to the room floors, but there was NOT a soul around to help us with our luggage. I had been traveling for over two months on business and was very tired and travel weary, so having to "Schlepp" our luggage up MANY stairs was exhausting and a very unpleasant beginning to what I had thought would be magical. Our request for help with the luggage was met with a very cold, "No, there's no-one." There was no apology, no expression of regret, or explanation that she would have liked to, but couldn't leave the front desk. I would never recommend this property to anyone. It was severely overpriced for the location, the service and the overall experience. Additionally, the property charged for parking in their highly inaccessible and difficult-to-find parking lot, and then had no means of assisting to get your luggage up the long staircase in the pouring rain. On the flip-side, Avila Paradore did NOT charge for parking. Of our three-week vacation in Morocco and Spain, our stay at the Paradore Hondarribia was definitely the low point. If I had been in the US, I would have demanded my money back.”

“wonderful. the town and parador were fantastic. The room was a bit stuffy on the interior but still loved it. The food at breakfast was much better than expected. Really recommend it and already have!”
