I loved the fact that this hotel felt like an oasis while only minutes from the center of town/the marina. Starting with the bamboo lined entrance to the energy felt by the people sitting outside enjoying their afternoon coffees. The hotel has a beautiful art collection, and I loved the addition of rugs and unique furniture everywhere from the main space to the hallways. My room was beautiful, with a spacious bathroom (complete with skylight) and a larger-than-most boutique hotel's shower. The staff were welcoming, and spoke wonderful English,. parking was on site and very easy. I enjoyed a delicious dinner and breakfast, and had excellent service. I was sad to only stay one night!

That I only stayed one night :)

It's a wonderful place, a bit like something from a fairy tale. :) It's in an amazing location with an incredible entrance alley. There's free, spacious parking. The staff was one of the most friendly I had a chance to meet during my trips. The venue is great for guests, with an open all-day bar. The rooms are equipped with everything you need. We had an amazing time in Lekeitio and around, also because we stay at Zubieta :)

The only thing that was sometimes hard to handle was the lack of an air conditioning system. When we were there, it was very hot, and it was hard to fully relax and rest in the stuffy room. This was the only one tiny minus.

Beautiful historic building and garden, peaceful location. Rooms are comfortable, bathroom was modern. Useful to have a bar open all day inside the hotel. Friendly staff. Storage room can be used to store bicycles safely.

Breakfast for 15 eur was quite expensive (but you can opt for a quick snack and coffee at the bar instead), hotel rooms are quite pricey, in particular the premium ones. To save some money, better to book well in advance to get standard ones. Location further out from center (10 mins walk from the church and harbour, 10-20mins to the beaches).

It had a lovely mix of tradition with luxury and attention to detail. The suite we had with our dog was spacious and gorgeous looking over the terrace. We had supper on the terrace as was with our dog which worked well. The food was excellent and very well priced. A very enjoyable stay and one I would recommend to others. Plenty of space in the private car park with no height restrictions for our VWCamper.

Quite a tight entrance to the property through a arch. It was the original arch so nothing that can be helped.

The hotel is a real gem in lovely old buildings exquisitely renovated and so tastefully furnished. It has really welcoming public areas and the staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was very extensive and we enjoyed being able to eat a light evening meal in the bar there. Our room was lovely and spacious and the hotel is in a quiet area with plenty of secure parking. It is only a 10 minute walk to the heart of Lekeitio with its lovely old streets and charming port area. We would love to come back and spend more time in this hotel and this area.

Nothing really, but we did get an enormous hornet in our room which was a bit scary! We also didn't realise until we left the hotel that you can't turn left out of the hotel entrance and have to drive all the way round the one way streets of the town to get back to where you started!

Amazing hotel in a great small town which is less busy than San Sebastian. Hotel is an oasis in the town with a lovely patio for drinks. Car parking is great - don't be put off by the entrance arch - your car will fit through! Did not eat in the restaurant for dinner but breakfast was great. Walked to the Faro lighthouse but the bar/cafe was closed betwen 3 and 5pm.. Also walked across causeway to island but the causeway is very slippy. We chose to paddle over the river and then cross the beach rather than walk back. By the way the beach is amazing. In the town most restaurants are for the locals but they will welcome you.

If you are reading reviews and have not yet decided whether to book this hotel or not, then stop thinking and book. This is a fantastic place. A cozy hotel with incredible interior, recreation areas and territory. The magic begins already from the entrance to the territory through the historical stone gates of the Zubieta Palace and bamboo alleys. Luxurious views, air, birds singing. The unique atmosphere of an old estate.

Really historic building lovely setting. Good staff. Great buffet breakfast selection especially for a quiet morning. Would recommend. 5 minute walk to town. Nice bars and great beach for swimming.

It is a little tired around the edges, not well ventilated bathroom so a bit mouldy around shower etc. But lovely old buildings require a lot of maintenance and still feel very good value. Was also a little disappointed we wanted to swim before breakfast pool was not open til 10am so we couldn't go in as were eating and checking out! However the sea was a lovely option!

This is the third time we have stayed at the Zubieta and we have always been happy with it. The room was nice and roomy. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was very good. We have also enjoyed this hotel because of the sitting area in the bar area where we can visit with our family and friends who live in Lekeitio. It is a welcoming and friendly place to stay. We got excellent service from the staff and especially enjoyed Suzanna serving us.

The room was nice and roomy but we noticed that the carpets had stains on them. The entryway into the hotel via car is tricky to fit through but that is part of the charm of the hotel.

Nothing to fault. A chance find but very happy we found it! A characterful, historical converted stable block to the neighbouring Manor house. Effortless charm and quality. Room was generous and bathroom spotless. The restaurant served good range of breakfast items and dinner (reservation needed) provided quality food. Lovely little pool area with loungers and an excellent bar in the lounge. The bonus was the staff, who spoke several languages and worked tirelessly, whilst always smiling, to ensure we felt welcome from the start. An easy walk through a few streets brings you to the harbourside area with bars and restaurants and a very clean beach. Parking is easy with a bamboo lined avenue leading to a safe parking area. For a chilled out, high quality, stay we would highly recommend this hotel

Nothing! We loved it
