A hotel in the medieval tower where Archbishop Rojas y Sandoval was born, next to Santa María in the walled old town; garden, terrace and no lift.

The tower where an archbishop was born
The hotel is at Apezpiku Kalea 1, in the Plaza del Obispo, next to the church of Santa María, inside Hondarribia's walled old town. The building began as a 12th-century tower that formed part of the town's defences. After the French sieges, between the end of the 15th century and the start of the 16th, its battery of cannon was pulled down and a major refurbishment gave it the appearance it has today. Cristóbal Rojas y Sandoval was born here on 24 July 1502; he became Bishop of Oviedo and of Badajoz and Archbishop of Seville, and the square and the street take their name from him. The house stood empty for many years until it opened as a hotel and restaurant in 1990.
Three types of room

Single: about 12 m², a 1.35 m bed, restored classic furniture and the original tiled floor.
Double: a double bed or two beds, with an extra bed if you ask for one; some have a small sitting area, and the floor is tile or original wood.
Superior double: a large bed or two beds, original wooden floor and a balcony or small terrace with views of Txingudi bay.

All have their own bathroom with toiletries, hairdryer, minibar, wardrobe, television, heating and air conditioning. Depending on the room, the window looks onto Santa María or onto the Bidasoa plain. The website does not publish prices: they are shown on its booking engine.
Stairs, not a lift
The building keeps its medieval structure and so has no lift. If you are travelling with heavy luggage or find stairs difficult, bear this in mind before booking.
Breakfast in the sun and a lounge with a fireplace
Breakfast is a continental buffet in the café, at €15 per person, and it is brought up to your room if you ask; in good weather it is taken on the large terrace, in the sun. There is a garden and a reading lounge with a fire lit in winter. For lunch or dinner, the hotel works with the bar next door, Tatapas Gastroteka. The room is cleaned daily, there is a paid laundry and ironing service, free wifi throughout the hotel and a meeting room for more than twenty people. Reception staff speak Spanish, French and English.
Six parking spaces
Check-in from 14:00 and check-out before 12:00. The hotel has only six open-air spaces, unattended, at €10 a day, which are allocated with prior booking: ask for one when you book the room. Pets are not allowed, and smoking is only permitted in outdoor areas.
What you have when you step out
You are inside the walled old town, a few steps from the Parador in Plaza de Armas. The boat to Hendaye leaves from the town, and for a special meal you have Alameda, the Txapartegi family's house.
