“A good stay in San Sebastian”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

Hotel Codina was a good option for a hotel in the city. It is not located in the thick of things but on the other side of the beach, which keeps it much quieter. You can either walk to the main area or take a bus ride.

The rooms were of a decent side and well appointed, including the bathrooms.

There is a small cafe and bar on the ground floor and 1-2 small cafes on the street behind the hotel. But the best restaurants are in the main part of town.

To get a good view of the city, the access to the top of the mountain by the funicular is very close to the hotel.

“Nice rooms and good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 16, 2012

This hotel is situated on the west side of San Sebastien. We found the rooms to be very comfortable with good beds and a decent sized bathroom. The staff are friendly.

Our only complaint would be that this is all about the rooms with a very small public space for eating or drinking.

In the morning the 2 lifts were jam packed and I saw an elderly couple give up and take the stairs from the 4th floor.

No complaints, a good hotel at a reasonable price in over-priced San Sebastien.

“Comfortable hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2012

We stayed here for 3 nights and paid extra for a room with a balcony - which I would recommend - room was very clean and comfortable with a good shower room. Hotel in a good location 5 minute walk to the beach - it is a lovely walk into the centre of San Sebastian, especially if you walk along the beach. Staff v helpful, the 24 bus goes outside the door to the central bus station and they got me the times. Inside room with doors wide open very comfortable, however when sitting on balcony even though on the 7th floor, traffic noise intrusive. Cafe on ground floor great - good coffee, wine and service.

Room Tip: Request a room with a balcony

“Ideal for a couple of days in San Sebastian...book the parking”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

Whilst staing in France with family my husband and I took a 2 night trip to SS and chose the Codina. We had a very friendly welcome, the desk chap conversing in Spanish, French and English with us. I would recommend booking a parking spot around the corner in the undercover car park - Euro18 a day from memory.
The room was fine - little noisy overlooking the street but nothing a pair of earplugs couldn't fix. All the amenities were fine, big spacious bathroom.
The hotel is about a 25 min walk to the old town but it is a beautiful walk along the bay. There is also a bus stop right outside and for 1.45E you can get the bus to the doorstep of the old town on the number 5 or 25.....considerably cheaper than a cab although they don't run that late.
Overall perfect for our trip, clean and friendly. Would stay again.

Room Tip: Rooms overlooking the road are a little noisy.

“40 ft of windows - Pay the 20 Euro for seaview”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 7, 2012

Huge rooms & baths - includes bidet; shower over tub. Exterior shutters + thick windows that can be vented or fully opened + drapes make for a very quiet room at night. Lots of outlets to plug in all the stuff we have come to HAVE TO HAVE. And huge in room safe that fit my big laptop & more plus it was easy to operate. You can order pizza & cheese sticks & the pizza people deliver to your room & charge your room which was nice the first night it was drizzly outside. There is a wonderful little bar just down the block + 2 supermarkets close by. About a half mile to the surf shop if you want to take lessons. Breakfast was expensive & looked crappy - canned fruit cocktail? We opted for going down the street.

Room Tip: Ask for 6th floor & seaview - worth the extra 20 Euro.
