I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in San Sebastian. The rooms were very comfortable and provided a good base for us to explore the city. The staff were helpful and made our stay even better. The location was great and offered beautiful views of San Sebastian. However, the dining options were limited for vegetarians and extra charges for breakfast were a downside.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were quiet and had big comfy beds, and the breakfast buffet was fabulous. The location was good for walking around the city and to the beach and parks, but a bit far from the center. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff in all areas. The dining experience was fantastic with a great variety of food. However, the price for dining was on the expensive side. The facilities were well-maintained and convenient.

My stay at the hotel was delightful, with spacious and very clean rooms featuring a huge comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the rich breakfast buffet stood out. However, the only downside was the smell in the room, possibly due to a malfunctioning extraction fan in the bathroom.

I couldn't have asked for more at this hotel! The rooms were small but had a big comfy king-size bed, a well-stocked mini-bar, and a spacious bath, all in a quiet and nicely decorated space. The service from reception to housekeeping was excellent, and they even helped us with transfer service and provided free tickets for the film festival. The location was convenient with a bus station outside, though slightly far from main attractions. Dining was a feast with a great spread of meats, cheeses, and pastries. Overall, a great value for the money.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room I stayed in had a great view, but it was on the smaller side and surprisingly expensive compared to other places I've stayed at during my Europe trip. The smell of the kitchen lingering in the room was a downside, but when we switched to a family room, it was absolutely superb.

Rooms

The room with a great view was not very large and was the most expensive room of our entire 2-month stay in Europe. The smell like a kitchen was present due to the bathroom extraction fan not working properly, but our experience vastly improved when we moved to a family room, which was superb.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a nice view of the river, complete with good quality toiletries; however, a slight downside was the kitchen smell due to a malfunctioning bathroom fan. The location is well-positioned across the river bend, making it great for exploring northern Spain. Service was friendly and extremely helpful, although a few instances of rudeness were noted. The dining experience, though good overall, could use some improvement in the food quality. Facilities were convenient, with a public garage in the building.

The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist guests despite limited resources. The location may require transportation for downtown activities but offers a relaxed setting by the river. The dining options are fabulous but could be considered pricey for some.

The location of the hotel was great, offering a beautiful view of San Sebastian. Although it was above the bus station, which was convenient, it was a bit of a walk, about 30 minutes along a pleasant river promenade, to the center of town. While not right in the heart of the old town, it was still a pleasant 20-minute walk away. The overall location, mixing France and Spain, made it one of the most harmonious places I've visited.

The dining experience was okay, but there were limited choices for vegetarians. The only downside was being charged extra for a full-breakfast rate for our daughter, who just had a bowl of cereal. Before heading into the city center, we had to pay €11 per child, along with our €19 each.
