About
This small, contemporary-style hotel is housed in a charming 19th-century building in the historic center of Zarautz. It lies just off the beach of this pretty Basque resort. The Olatu provides a chic, modern setting for your stay on the beautiful Basque coastline. Its completely renovated interior features stylish, minimalist decor and interesting design touches. Within 492 feet of the hotel you will find the town’s main square, Plaza de la Música, the beach and numerous traditional pintxos bars. It is also just a short distance from the marvelous seaside city of San Sebastián.

Pros +
- Close to the beach, clean rooms and pretty comfortable beds.
- Great staff. Easy check in. Very clean rooms. Centrally located! I would stay here again!
- The location was great. Close to the beach, right by the Camino de Santiago.
Cons -
- Check in was in a totally different building which was okay, breakfast was €12 but wasn’t really worth the price
- Noisy. You can hear everything inside the building, but not in people’s rooms, if that makes any sense. I can hear someone walking and talking all the way from the bottom to the 3rd floor and down the hallway but I can’t hear them in their rooms. The air conditioning was easy to use but hard to get the temperature right. So I found the room to be quite cold when turned on but too warm with it off. I’d try to keep the unit on but make it less cold but that never seemed to help.
- Nothing actually although it took a bit of extra work to get the key card.

Good location, clean as a whistle and cute as a button.

Very clean, great location, helpful staff
Loud bc it’s facing the street, but it was a Saturday night so maybe it’s not during the week. The AC didn’t work well
Close to everything.
Small room. Beds slid around. Temperature control was not intuitive.
I loved everything about it.
I did not like that the nightlife was really loud. I did not sleep at all in the evening because of a party at the restaurant downstairs. So I loved it, but the location and the loudness was awful.
Room was amazing. I can't believe it is only 55 euro. Best yet. Loved the air conditioner. Spotless room.
Perfect location and super modern and comfortable room.
Clean modern excellent location
Have to walk across the plaza for reception and restaurant
Very clean and modern room, and very quiet. Lovely reception person at their other building. Great location to walk to everything in town and to the beach.
No kettle in the room or foyer. We were too tired/cold to go back to the Hostal to ask for one, or to go out to buy one, after walking all day The rbed was quite small, hardly a double.
Great checkin. Very clean. Convenient location.
Noise on a Saturday night was too much.
Well located, right in the centre and very close to the beach. Clean room
There is a bar in the same street, people coming in and out can be quite noisy at night. I couldn't properly rest any of the nights I stayed there. Also, walls and ceiling must be thin because I could hear the guests very clearly in the room above
It was a nice, clean comfortable room
Reception was in another building. It would've been simpler just to direct me to the other building.
Great location, near the beach. Our room had a lovely big balcony.
It was very hot while we were there and unfortunately the air conditioning was broken in one of our rooms. The staff were helpful though and moved my kids to another room with working ac.
Good location, clean, good night's sleep.
Had to go another hotel to check-in
close to oldtown area and also beach …super clean …
bit loud at night … walls are very thin
Beautiful location, super close to the beach even let us leave our surf boards downstairs!
Excellent location, 1 min from the beach and food and easy to findKind stuffShelves in the room - enough space for the luggageGood showerEasy to find breakfast 2 steps away
Sound isolation is bad unfortunately.The parking - you have to find it by yourself, and you end paying 18eur per 24 h.
Cool location in Old Town. Very unique with outside shutters, looking out across rooftops
Very small. Outside shutters meant I had to open and close windows to affect amount of sunlight coming into the room. Pretty inconvenient.
