Zerupe Hotel

Too high price. The rest all good.

Hotel muy moderno, cómodo

We arrived in Zarautz, Spanish Basque from Saint Jean de Luz, French Basque via the Hendaia Euskotren station (1 hour 15-minutes). The Hotel Zerupe was an easy 5-minute walk from the train station and just a few minutes walk to the gorgeous beach. Perfect location. We were so happy we decided to visit this beautiful small city in the Basque coastal region on the Bay of Biscay. We reserved the Doble room for two nights. The room was on the small side and laid out efficiently; it was light and very clean; had hardwood floors; motorized window coverings; enough storage space for us; and complimentary coffee and filtered water. The large walk-in shower was very nice. Breakfast was fresh and very good, it was an added €12 per person per day; it included meatcheese, seasonal fruit, yogurt, fresh squeezed juice, breads and pastries. All the staff were friendly. Paolo especially was a delight to talk with. He prepared our morning breakfast. From Zarautz we took the coastal walk to Getaria (about 1 to 1 ½ hours, one-way) where we enjoyed a late lunch of Pintxos and a bottle of the delicious local white wine Txakoli at the restaurant Amonamaria overlooking the sea. The day we left, we spent the morning taking a short hike up to the Ermita de Santa Barbara through beautiful vineyards and with stunning views of the city, the beach and the Bay of Biscay. In the afternoon we took the Euskotren to Bilbao, about a 2-hour train trip.
