This is a lovely hotel but our stay was ruined by extremely rude staff. They were unhelpful and treated us with scorn. They demanded my credit card to pay for the hotel despite it being paid in full before arrival and hardly bothered to engage in conversation at all - in fact, the demand for the VISA was the only... more

The previous reviews are mainly true - the hotel is deceivingly far from the Old Town of San Sebastian, which IS San Sebastian (google maps make it look pretty close to it all, but it's a one about a one mile walk from Old Town or a quick cab or public bus ride). If you can get over this (we... more

We were touring Spain staying mainly in paradors and picked this hotel because it looked like a fun holiday hotel near the beach. It's not. It's in a residential area - blocks of apartments - with no restaurants, bars, or anything - nowhere near the old town. You can walk down to the beach - but you can't see it... more

The outside decor of this hotel does nothing for the interior. A large group of us (30 boys aged 12) and 17 adults from Ireland stayed in this hotel for a week from July 4th 2009. Our U12 players were participating in the Soccer Tournament, Donosti Cup 2009. The hotel was perfect for our group, fantastic breakfast every morning before... more

This is a nice 4-star hotel in San Sebastian, but the location is less than perfect. You need to walk 30min to the City Center or Old City or take a cab (EUR 7-8). It was very cold in mid March during our 2-night stay (very windy 9C or about 48F), so walking both ways was out of question. High... more

We booked this through Rates To Go and they did not inform us the hotel was doing substantial rebuilding. The hotel was not particularly apologetic about the noise which was deafening. They were still working in the early evening at the time people return from business or pleasure to bathe and prepare to go out for dinner. Of course, hotels... more

We stayed here for one night. My advice; Booking: My advice is get a room on a high floor. We were on the first floor and subjected to very loud music coming through the floor from the bar until 2am. Reception were unable to do anything about it. I've seen other reports of this on TripAdvisor, so I guess it's... more

This hotel is about a ten minute walk from Ondeterra beach. So may be not straight on the beach but I think is near enough. A quiet area with a lovely swimming pool. The Bar is a bit soul less but open till 2am so who's complaining?! It seems quite Business like when you go in but I thought it... more

This hotel booking was selected by AHI Tours for my university travel program. The hotel is spacious and I was assigned a room with a very large terrace facing the front - but the rainy weather prevented me from enjoying it. There is no scenic view from this property. The interior decor was not memorable. A public bus stops right... more

October 1-6,2007 Attending a tour with AHI International, my senior citizen mother and I were assigned a room that was clean but I wouldn't call it stylish. This being my first time to San Sebastian I didn't realize that it rains more than in Seattle, Washington! We stayed here for five nights and the first night was fine. On the... more
