Arraya

This is the second time I have stayed at Hotel Arraya and my husband and I absolutely loved it!. Location is great, within easy reach of the Pyrenees mountains and the coast. Food at the hotel is delicious - with additional restaurants close by (for variety) Monsieur and Madame Fagoaga are always hospitable and it's a delight to experience this authentic family hotel in the Basque country.

The hotel is meticulously decorated with a charming ambiance, excellent dining, and a lovely terrace. Unfortunately, my room was directly across from a bar that plays loud music until 2 a.m. This was especially disappointing as I had specifically requested a quiet room upon arrival. It felt rather careless, and based on the glowing reviews, I couldn’t help but feel like I was given the worst room in the hotel. The bed was unusually low, missing about a foot in height to look or feel normal, and the mattress was incredibly hard. It was, by far, the worst night’s sleep I’ve had in a hotel in a long time. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t say this hotel treats solo travelers particularly well. They even removed the extra pillows I wasn’t using from the bed, which felt more comical than considerate

We stayed here on our hiking journey to San Sebastián as part of a pre booked walking holiday with Inn-travel. Bags of character in the hotel, dinner was absolutely incredible (the trout was beautiful) and service excellent. Very impressed and highly recommend!

This place is a jewel: beautiful, clean, relaxing, excellent service and food, in an idyllic setting. The hotel was very tastefully updated to today’s standards, the rooms are extremely comfortable, the bathrooms luxurious. In a charming town, with hiking right outside the door, and beaches 20 minutes away. It’s perfect.

Charme. Un séjour de charme dans un hôtel qui ne l'était pas moins.

Excellent séjour dans cet hôtel. Tout était parfait, l'accueil et la gentillesse des propriétaires, le diner et le petit-déjeuner, la décoration (associant le rustique au confort). Le village de Sare était charmant et peu touristique à cette période. Nous reviendrons !
