Villa Magalean Hotel & Spa

We had a wonderful stay in this small hotel. Our suite was spacious and totally quiet with a small balcony where we could enjoy cocktails. ||The breakfast was generous and made to order. (I would only suggest they offer more variety in the fruit. Every day it was the same kiwi and bananas.)||The staff were helpful, giving us good recommendations for restaurants. We were sorry the hotel restaurant is now closed. It would have been convenient to eat there on nights we were tired and didn't want to walk into town. However, the walk into town is easy and it is not far.||We had excellent spa treatments with the very good therapists.

This hotel is absolute perfection! The friendliest staff ever. They helped us with everything from dinner reservations to securing train tickets and when our train cancelled they happily extended our reservation! The decor here is quirky—stained glass windows, intentionally crooked wall sconces—and reflects the casual elegance throughout. Our room and bathroom were enormous with a large terrace where we sipped local wine as the church bells rang. Perfectly situated at the foot of the old town and an easy walk to the marina. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in this gem of a town.

A perfect hotel. We stayed for 6 nights and didn’t want to leave. Beautiful bedroom, very luxurious. There is nothing I can fault. Great staff, so friendly, |helpful and so clean. |We hope to stay next year.|The area is stunning and so relaxing.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Our room was peaceful and exquisitely designed, as is the entire beautiful hotel. The spa was wonderful: great care from the staff. Close by (15-20 minutes) is a breathtaking hike through pine woods, with views of deep blue ocean and crashing waves. We took day trips too. Hotel staff are incredible.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The villa was beautifully restored with high end materials and luxury finishes. The breakfast was freshly made, parking on the premises was convenient and the service was friendly.|The window shutters worked great as well as the Dyson blow-dryer and the powerful shower.

Wonderful little hotel with luxurious, chic and well appointed rooms. We stayed in the junior suite, which was large with a separate sitting area and balcony overlooking the gardens. Very well located on a quiet street, only a few minutes walk to all bars and restaurants and just across the street from the bus to San Sebastian. Staff is eager to please and very helpful with reservations and suggestions. Breakfast is tasty, and Hondarribia is a terrific choice for a base in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Magalean Hotel. Its located in a quiet neighborhood but only a couple of minutes away from the old town (there is an elevator nearby to take you to the old town, so no need to climb any hills). Room that we stayed in was very clean and had an amazing view of the city. Also it had one of the best shampoo/body wash i have ever used in a hotel (Frederic Malle products). Receptionist was very helpful, we needed to leave the hotel early morning (before the breakfast starts) and they arranged an early breakfast for us and also helped us how to take the bus to the train station.

I spent a weekend with my husband in Villa Magalean in April. The hotel is very elegant, nicely decorated, better equipped than many boutique hotels I’ve been to. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable, so much that we asked for the brand of the beds! The staff prepare the room for the night by opening the beds and closing the curtains which is a very nice touch. The hotel has a small but very nice spa with Cinq Mondes products. We had a nice massage and enjoyed the sauna for a bit. It’s hard to find bad food in the Bask Country, but the breakfast in the hotel was amazing! We could choose what we want from the night before to have a personalized breakfast. Last but not least, the staff were very friendly and professional. Definitely recommended!
