We flew into Bilbao (from California) and after one noisy night there, headed an hour north to Lekeitio to get rid of jet lag. Lekeitio is a small port town and in October, it was warm, lovely and quiet. We were advised to drive to Lekeitio through Markino because it is less windy than the other route. Hotel Zubieta is...

I'm not sure which was the greater gem, the Zubieta or Lekeitio: probably the hotel because we found several really interesting ports/harbours from Ondarroa to Getaria to Hondarribia in our travels along the N Spain coast, but the Zubieta was most unusual in having 'class without flash' We stay in a lot of hotels around the world but the Zubieta...

I really liked the Hotel Zubieta - the people were very nice, the breakfast and bar tapas were good, the hotel is comfortable and charming. Listen carefully - the town is a waste of time. We thought a nice seaside town in Northern Spain would be fun(thinking Barcelona) - but this place is a dump - don't expect to have... More

Really enjoyed our 4 nights stay in this lovely hotel. Beautiful building, rooms, great terrace/bar and the most wonderful staff you could wish to meet. I will add no further comments about the hotel to all the 5 star reviews which are all spot on. Without exception, however, ALL staff here are helpful and friendly and only too pleased to... More

This is a glorious hotel, pretty, small and personal. The bar is friendly and serves lovely tapas twice a day and coffee and drinks throughout the day. The sitting room and terrace were very pretty and we spent alot of the day sitting out in the sun, or enjoying drinks at night. The staff are the best thing about the... More

Stayed here 3rd & 4th Sep 2012. Lovely setting and fantastic service from all staff including calling us to say we had left passports, money etc in safe beffore we had driven too far. Town, beach & harbour (with great local bars especially the organic one just as you enter harbour area) just 5 mins walk. Also a superb restaurant... More

This is a lovely peaceful hotel, on the edge of the town of Lekeitio, yet just a ten minute stroll to the harbourside. The staff are friendly and the setting is beautiful. The rooms are a little 'old style' and because of this, it feels a bit over-priced. We stayed one night and it was a brilliant place for a... More

We stayed there only one night, but wish we could more. We were in room 203, such a cute one with a different style. There was no A/C, and it was not necessary but we had a fan we used whole night. The bathroom was well lighted and airy, but the windows of the room were a bit small. The... More

In August 2012, I went with my family to a very nice city at the Basque coast, called Lekeitio. I think we took the best hotel! A nice garden with a beautiful terrace, a remarkably friendly service, a wonderful old house, ... The breakfeast was the best, we've eat in Spain! Only one downside: the breakfeast cost 10€, and I...
