“Heaven on earth.”

Everything. Just perfect.

We liked the location, the generosity of staff, the room, the breakfast...

“Great for the Camino.”

Our room was a good size and very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful and served a delicious breakfast in the morning. The location is very good for walking the Camino.

“Way overpriced for what you are getting”

incredibly clean, lovely to see inside one of the traditional buildings. Great breakfast, friendly staff

“Amazing”

Great hotel, so well renovated respecting the soul of the building, perfect location for us ( Camino) Best host ever, I felt loved and cared for …. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The location and the view were unbeatable. If you’re doing the Camino del Norte this is right at the bottom of the last hill, right before the ferry across, absolutely top notch place to rest. It’s not cheap but it’s not expensive at all for the quality. We wished we could stay longer. You can also swim in the ria which is lovely after a hot hiking day. Finally, booking.com screwed up our booking details (wrong number of guests per room) but the property took care of it. Lovely attention from the staff.

“Wow a fantastic location and great hotel”

Wow - a very very good butiq hotel in a great location. Service is also outstanding.

“Extraordinary location in its own right, also close to San Sebastian by bus or a 2hr hike”

An extraordinary location, with huge ships passing by the balcony and great swimming off the jetty below. Donebanea is transforming from an industrial shipyard to a part tourist destination. It's right on the Camino de Santiago and that means great walks in both directions. It takes about 30 mins to San Sebastian by bus, or by ferry and bus. The hotel is actually a pension, with a small number of beautifully crafted rooms and a small reception area that also serves as a breakfast room. An architect has re-imagined a traditional house and the result is stunning, if rather expensive. Make sure you have a sea view.

“Will come here again.”

Wonderfully restored with great taste. Very comfortable. Great bathroom. Excellent breakfast.

“Such a beautiful stay, room and linens were very comfortable, we were upgraded from interior to sea view - so lovely tha”

Water front and boutique style accomodations

“Unique place to stay”

Watching the water and the boats from your room! Marvellous restoration of a building of 400 years old.

“Perfect”

Location

“Overall, the setting is charming, but the logistics can be inconvenient if you’re not prepared.”

Great location if you enjoy quiet, pedestrian areas—but be warned: the hotel sits in a zone with no car access. You’ll need to carry your bags and suitcases by hand for about 15 minutes along a narrow cobblestone road. Also, keep in mind that all nearby restaurants and shops close at 10:00 PM, so there’s nowhere to get a proper meal after that time. Only bars serving drinks stay open. Plan to have dinner earlier or bring some snacks if you arrive late.

“One of the most beautiful hotels we have stayed in”

Amazing location, beautiful hotel room and exceptionally friendly hostesses

“Great stay. I will come back”

I liked everything about the place. The location, the service, the breakfast, the interiors

“Could be better if we had another room”

The accommodation is nice, renovated! The breakfast and the lady at the breakfast was good.

“This is the perfect place to relax, take in the beauty of the region, and enjoy some true Basque charm. Highly recommend”

.The building itself is full of character and history, with thick stone walls that give it a warm, rustic charm. My room had breathtaking sea views and a balcony to sit and enjoy morning coffee.

The apartment was great, host as well. This part of town is pedestrian zone, but amazing.

“Very nice, small hotel with friendly and helpful staff”

Nice, small hotel. The room had a very nice view. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast.
