I've stayed here before and liked it enough to stay again. But this time I excitedly brought my costume. Only to find guests need to pay for access to the indoor pool, EU19 for 2 hours and that the outdoor pool was closed. Tried to book the indoor pool for the 2nd night but it was closed, and then the 3rd but fully booked. Just really unimpressed and will definitely stay elsewhere on my next visit.

Excellent property and location. Great food at the restaurant although we just had tapas and drinks a couple of times. Easy access to all the city areas, including old town and the beaches. Parking on site was key as parking is very limited in San Sebastián

Beautiful hotel with a spectacular view. The staff were wonderful and helpful. The hotel is located on the top of the hill, and there’s an elevator that takes you up and down between Main Street and hotel. We loved our experience at Hotel Catalonia Donostia, so we booked Hotel Catalonia Eixample 1864 in Barcelona.

We cannot fault this property. It could not have been any better located - perfectly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of town but the shortest most pleasant walk into town. The staff were all an absolute delight, they were warm, welcoming and very helpful. The room was spacious, very modern and so well considered - had everything we could possibly need. The breakfast buffet was generous and delicious, so much goodness to choose from. We will be back for sure!

Beautiful, spacious hotel with friendly staff and great location. Sat on the top of a high hill gives great views and peace and quiet but they have an elevator that directly links you to the street level so it’s really easy to move about. Comfy beds and little added extras make it a great base for exploring!

Really lovely hotel

This is a lovely hotel. It is a beautifully converted church and done very well. It is ideally located for All the sights, restaurants and bars and shopping as you come down from the hotel via a lift, but you are away from the noise at night. It has off street parking although you pay. Staff were great and very helpful.
