    Loved the decor!! It’s such a beautiful hotel and the room was extremely clean. Ther service was also exceptionally good. The reception room was my favourite space, beautiful yet so comfy and inviting with fire on that I spent few minutes to wind down and warm up even in April every evening when we con back. The breakfast had all I’d want. The spa was a bonus. Everything was perfect for our stay and I would love to go back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    Nothing of note. The restaurant was unexpectedly closed due to some changes, so that inpacted how I sourced meals.

    The staff were very kind and helpful. I came on my own for a solo getaway and felt very taken care of. Everything from breakfast to the servicing of the room to the bedding, was just fantastic. I had several spa treatments while there, all exceptional.

    Only complaint is that we wish we had more time at this hotel. A true gem. Can’t wait to go back!

    We were on a three week vacation to Spain & Morocco, and Villa Magalean was the highlight. This is one of the cutest hotels we’ve stayed in, and they offered us a free upgrade for our honeymoon. 🥰 Beautiful, spacious and bright rooms only a short walk to the elevator to the old town. Definitely recommend staying here!

    Only thing i can think of was having to park on the street as we hadn’t reserve a parking space.

    Breakfast was a mix of bespoke and standard ordered the night before and still excellent standard when served in room. The size of room and layout is excellent. The staff were very helpful keen to accommodate, make recommendations and dinner bookings locally which were excellent.

    Nothing. Perfect as it was.

    We really enjoyed Hondarribia after the crowds in Donostia, and we really loved this hotel. Whoever designed it had a very quirky but comfortable approach. The staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to help us. The served breakfasts were included in the price, had to be ordered the night before and were cooked to order. Large glasses of fresh OJ every morning, five kinds of breads and pastries, eggs, cheeses, meats and seconds on the made-to-order cafe con leche (pretty much unheard of overseas) all added to the great experience here. Oh, and parking, which is 15 Euros/night, is in a small outdoor lot adjacent to the hotel building. Very convenient.
