Lovely historic building in a beautiful location. The accomodations and customer service were excellent - friendly, helpful and accomodating. We also purchased the breakfast and it was perfect. Would love to have been able to stay longer.

Character property with friendly helpful staff opposite small beach near the harbour. Walkable in a few minutes to main beach and town. Road in front quite busy but room was double-glazed so this wasn’t an issue. Breakfast available, no dinner but plenty of restaurants nearby.

Small hotel in a good location
A small hotel in a good location, public parking was difficult due to a busy weekend. Hotel parking was 17 euros per night as a last resort. Good breakfast at additional cost. Good location for restaurants in Ciboure and Socoa. The road was quite busy at the fron of the hotel.

Un petit bijou à Ciboure
Un excellent séjour à la caravelle, petit bijou d’ hôtel bien situé à Ciboure. Nous avions réservé la suite ce qui nous a permis de bénéficier de la terrace bien pratique pour se reposer en extérieur après une journée de tourisme mais aussi d’ un le baignoire à bulles. Mes lombaires nous en remercient ! Literie excellente l, petit déjeuner copieux qui prépare très bien pour une journée de rando.

Court séjour agréable
Établissement idéalement situé entre saint Jean de luz et soccoa. On a eu de la chance de trouver une place de stationnement gratuite en bas de l’hôtel… pour un petit séjour de 2 nuits nous avions prévu de faire tout à pied (heureusement, car le stationnement est difficile). Hôtel propre, calme avec un accueil chaleureux. Je recommande 😉… nous y reviendrons vraisemblablement.

El alojamiento es a priori aceptable, estuvimos tres noches y las dos primeras bien. La ultima noche habia un olor en habitación a podrido, desagüe, horroroso. No hay recepción 24 h por tanto no puedes acudir a nadie
No pudimos dormir en toda la noche por el olor que había debajo de la cama, insoportable. Al día siguiente se niegan a darnos la hoja de reclamaciones, que pague y me queje en Expedia
