Good for a weekend stay

Special mention to John the concierge who helped us with many things Breakfast was good but on Saturday the staff were unable to cope with the amount of guests arriving at the same time meaning we had to wait for many dishes to be refilled. No staff member was monitoring the availability of food on offer Room was as described although the Seaview was limited. With the benefit of hindsight I wouldn’t have paid the extra cost for such a limited vista that was so far away Finding the hotel … read the hotel instructions. Guests CAN turn into the No Entry street if they are staying at the hotel Short cut to street level very beneficial Loved the roof top bar and swimming pool

Fantastic hotel enhanced further by the wonderful staff, who are unfailingly helpful and charming. The rooftop bar has amazing biews over San Sebastian, the pool area likewise, and the breakfast bar has a great selection. We will come again!

Excellent hotel

Absolutely loved everything about this hotel - excellent location but quiet, super friendly and helpful staff, fabulous breakfast and spa. Only annoying thing was the spa is an additional charge and this needs to be clearer when booking (we loved using it but it soon added up for a family of four).

San Sebastián

We stayed 3 nights. Excellent location walked everywhere. Room was big and so was the bathroom. Definitely use the lift entrance so you are not walking up the hill. Only moan was that the room needed some maintenance. Shower head wouldn’t stay up unless you balanced it and the shower gel was empty and we had to ask for it to be refilled and the toilet roll holder was slanting downwards so it kept falling off. Not major problems I know, but for the price we payed for the room per night I expected housekeeping to do a better job as these should have been reported before we checked in and repaired. The bar staff were excellent.
