In May 2008 me and my sister in law went to the Basque area figure out what this part of Spain looked like and also to walk a few steps on the Camino (the pilgrims way to Santiago de Compostela). Somehow we just ended up in Getaria, we came by bus from Bilbao, jumped off and walked down one of... more

My partner and I plus three friends booked the SaiazGetaria as the base for the second half of a weekend that started in Bilbao. We never got as far as San Sebastian because the hotel was a great place to read, relax, hang out and to watch the surfers. Getaria has some excellent fish restaurants and some interesting walks; part... more

We just returned from three nights at the Saiaz Getaria Hotel. What a find! A beautifully restored 15th century nobleman's home on a quiet street in a quaint fisherman's village. You get the best of both worlds: quiet, clean relaxed atmosphere, but only a 20- minute drive to San Sebastia and 45 minutes to Bilbao. We used Getaria as a... more

We (3 persons) traveled to North East Spain this month (April 2009). I first considered staying in San Sebastian for a few nights as a rest stop on our way to Bilbao and the Guggenheim Museum. I wanted to check into a hotel before dark so the 6 1/2 hour drive from central France took us as far as the... more

Although I only gave the hotel a three, it was a great place to stay. First off, the room was rather small and plain. For the price its what you would expect. However it was clean and the sea view was tremendous! If you look on the hotel website you'll see neat stone walled rooms. However, I believe these are... more

I really liked this hotel. It was clean, quiet and the staff were very freindly and helpful. There was also free internet access for email. We paid extra for a sea view and were glad we did, especially as it got a bit stormy and the waves crashing on the beach were impressive. It was a little hard to find,... more

Recently back from travelling in France and Spain. This was our favorite hotel. Definitely ask for the sea view room. It's very comfortable and the view is truly the best I have ever had in a hotel room. Getaria is a charming town to wander around in and San Sebastian is one of my favorites. Hotel staff was great. I... more

Wonderful hotel overlooking a small bay. Our 3rd floor room had large window which opened up over the bay 200 ft below. You could hear the wave breaking as the sun went down. Michael the owner not only provided a wonderful two nights, but was very helpful in giving directions to Akalare for lunch, for the roads in Donostia where... more

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Strongly suggest that you reserve a superior room with view. That comes with large semi-circular shaped windows overlooking an undeveloped ocean view that is literally outside your window. You can listen to the waves crashing on the shore if that is your preference. The bed is comfortable and... more
