The hotel was absolutely fantastic, a beautiful hotel with charming characteristics. We were greeted by a lovely lady who was really friendly and helpful after walking our shortest day of 4 hours on the Camino Trail in torrential rain and she even offered to order takeaway for us. The entrance way was welcoming with a mix of wood and stone and it had a warm cosy feel. The room had everything in it that you needed with one of the best showers I’ve come across and such comfy beds. Breakfast was in a beautiful room with a gorgeous terrace overlooking the sea.

Nothing!!

Hotel Itxas Gain overlooks the Cantabrico Sea. Centrally located close to everything in this lovely Basque fishing village only a daytrip to Donostia-San Sebastian. The staff were wonderfully hospitable and we discovered many local treasures with their help. The 'streetside grilled fish' and local wine gives this area such a great reputation. Lots of cute bars with fresh pinchos (Basque tapas) – Txakoli are fun to order at pintxos bars which is poured high above the glass. We had the great fortune to visit the wooden maritime themed San Salvador Church during choir practice and enjoyed hearing their complex choral arrangements sung in the Basque language. We loved being able to walk along the port and see all the fishing boats bring their fresh catch ashore – straight to the restaurants. Such a happy-energy town!

Parking was a little tricky. Street parking is available but not adjacent. We parked up the steep mountain a few blocks away. Fortunately, it was indoor and secure and the town features escalators up to the garage. What a brilliant invention. If the parking was closer, we'd give Hotel Itxas Gain a 10!

We are a retired couple. We spend a lot of our holidays driving in France. This was our first venture into Northern Spain. Getaria was a recommended stop between Bilbao and San Sebastian, In retrospect Getaria was a highlight. Having breakfast on that superb terrace, with top class ingredients and the premier view on the entire coast was brilliant

Why spoil perfection?

The hotel was well located in this interesting town , 40 minutes from San Sebastián by bus. We took advantage of the private parking on offer and used public transport during our stay here. The excellent staff were a bonus. They couldn’t do enough to help. Breakfast in the garden balcony overlooking the beach was amazing, as was the breakfast itself. The local bars and restaurants were bustling hubs of people enjoying themselves all day. No complaints at all.

Very welcoming, friendly and helpful young woman on reception incl. info on parking the car. Room clean, comfy and with character, unlike hotel chains👍🏼 Location - All within spitting distance from village‘s numerous bars and restaurants, and Balenciaga Museum.

For aircon fans: It was unusually hot for April (!) and there was no aircon, as normally not even that hot in summer. Terrace (with fab view), breakfast room and mini-garden all very simple.

The breakfast venue on the terrace was incredible and the food served was homemade and delicious! The staff was very friendly and helpful

Room was a bit smaller than expected but for two nights was adequate. There was no fridge or kettle in the room which was inconvenient for storing medication Parking was also a problem but September is a month where you can find on street parking.

Lovely place! Great location! And Giorgina, at the front desk, was so helpful, so attentive to details and logistics. I felt like she took extra care in making sure I made all the connections I needed to make. A truly lovely professional person who made a big difference in my experience as an older woman traveling solo. Thank you, Giorgina!

Not a thing

Incredibly helpful staff helped with luggage issues with Correos luggage transfer Very good location right on the Camino Walkable to good restaurants Garden terrace has excellent view Comfortable bed

The tiny claustrophobic pod shower in one room One room was noisy to the street Sparkling water in minibar would have been appreciated

A charming room in a great location for restaurants and transport. Great breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy to visit San Sebastian by bus.

The room was on the noisier side of the hotel but this was compensated for by being less expensive than the seaview side.

Lovely hotel. Very well placed. Magnificent room, wonderfully equipped. Beautiful terrace with breathtaking sea views. Pleasant bathroom, equipped with numerous amenities and whirlpool bathtub also with sea view. Welcoming, attentive, available and considerate staff. Parking available not far away recommended.
