Hotel was easy to find as its a couple of km out of town. Parking is across the road and down the ramp, but you end up in the hotel's carpark. Very good service from staff, rooms were small but serviceable. Bathroom was fairly large. To get to and from the old town, you can get the #28 bus across... More

Generally this hotel is excellent - 20 minutes from old quarter, clean and modern rooms, real king size bed and quite pretty inside. The only reason why I rate this hotel so low is because their a/c was not on while we were there. When we asked the front desk we were told to open a window. I'm not one... More

This hotel is right next to a central bus station, which would normally put us off but it was very convenient and we never heard any noise from below. The room was good and clean. The staff ready to assist. The biggest downside was the restaurant. We went there one night and the food was really quite poor. You're better... More

This place offered a great breakfast & clean rooms but that's about where the positives stop. The room smelt probably due to poor ventilation & the air con seemed to be nonexistent. We were told by reception the hotel was centrally heated & it would become cold in time even though my father's room across the hall was quite chilly!... More

What a fantastic hotel, nice and modern and stylish and a great breakfast available until 11.30am!, not that you will be able to lie in that long, well certainly not on the 8th floor, there is NO air conditioning and according to the concierge it was so hot as we were on the 8th floor and heat rises!!

We stayed in this hotel for 1 night during a short stop over at San Sebastien. The rooms had a very strong bad smell, I personally thought it smelled of cooking but the staff told me it's not possible because the kitchen is on the ground floor and we were high up. The staff were nice and friendly and told... More

My wife and I stayed two nights at the Amara Plaza in May. The hotel is clean, modern and close to the river Urumea. Parking is provided in the underground garage for 17 euros/night. Our room was quite, well appointed and furnished nicely. Breakfast was a buffet, with a wide variety of food choices. Staff on the front desk we... More

Have just spent a splendid three nights in a standard room here. It is a fair walk from the old town and seafront but we found this pleasant with areas to explore en route- there are very limited comparable accommodation options closer to the action and a direct bus available. It is located on a relatively busy roundabout between a... More

Booked this hotel to enjoy a restful weekend in beautiful San Sebastian after travelling for a few weeks. Hotel rooms are very well appointed with extremely comfortable beds and a great bathroom. The breakfast buffet is the best we have been offered at any of the many hotels we have stayed in in the past few weeks. The staff have... More

Hotel was within walking distance of both the new town (for shopping) and the old town (for tapas and drinking). Very clean, nice and good sized room. Great service, particularly from the bar tender in the piano bar downstairs.
