“Excellent hotel in San Sebastian”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

This was our second stay at the Villa Soro. The second time we were celebrating my girlfriends fathers birthday. We knew he would love the city of San Sebastian as well as the hotel.
We were greatly surprised to see that staff remembered us from our visit two years ago and they were as friendly and helpful as the last time. At the reception you will get great tips fro restaurants, pintxo bars, sightseeing and anything that is happening in the area. The girls at the breakfast, which I recommend as it is a breakfast for everyone to enjoy, will spoil you and produce anything you want (within reason!!!). The cleaning of the room is the best I have experienced, and there are just so many little details that make your stay so much better. The almond cakes at night, for example. Wifi is all over the hotel, the access is free and there is no need for passwords, it simply works!
The Villa Soro is also only a 15 minute walk to the old part of San Sebastian, you are 10 minutes away from Pasajes de San Pedro and San Juan which are two beautiful villages to visit and eat at.

I can only recommend Villa Soro and we are really looking forward to our visit next year! Agur!

“The best in a nine week trip over France and Spain”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

A wonderful hotel with beautiful rooms, all are very large with big windows that open, lots of sunshine and well appointed bathrooms. I loved the big bath!
Staff were wonderful very helpful and went out of their way to make our stay special. There is a lift even though it is only a single storied building. I would like to in particular mention the groundsman who explained our room to us and made no mention of the weight we were carrying after eight weeks on the road and the señora who ran the breakfast room. She was wonderful with her smiles food and caring attitude. We felt at home and looked after.

Room Tip: Any but if you like dead quiet rear building and the end rooms have all the sunshine.

“What a lovely place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

We stayed four nights at Villa Soro in October 2012 with a group of friends. Our room at the annex villa was quiet comfortable and good size. The main building was elegantly decorated with antique pieces and comfortable couches.The breakfast room was at the main building, the buffet breakfast had a good selection, the service was very attentive. All the bottled water and non alcoholic beverages were complimentary in the minibar. We were very happy with our choice of
hotel and highly recommend it.

“A lovely experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

We really enjoyed our two nights at Villa Soro. The 15 minute walk to town is easy and we especially liked being able to walk to and from our fantastic dinner at Arzak. The front desk staff was extremely helpful. The day we arrived they informed us that there was a general strike in San Sebastian and that we shouldn't walk around town. They promptly made reservations for us to visit the Guggenheim Museum, which worked out beautifully. They made a lot of suggestions of special things to see in San Sebastian. We couldn't have been happier with the quality of the room and the breakfast. A very comfortable place to stay!

“Excellent stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

Located a 15min walk to the City centre, with complimentary cycles available, meant that this boutique hotel was a super place to explore San Sebastian.
The main house is very elegant with a large, comfortable well furnished drawing room, a bar area and a relaxing lounge.
Our room was in the main house and a good size, very comfortable with modern facilities and a very spacious bathroom - no room for complaint whatsoever.
Breakfast was very good with a selection of cereals, cold cuts, fresh fruit and a small selection of hot food choices - a great way to start the day - with lovely serving ladies.
My wife and I used the cycles throughout our four days stay (even at age 60) and found it a fantastic way to enjoy the city.
Delightful staff, very helpful and courteous.
Definitely not disappointed and certain of a future visit.

Room Tip: Rooms in the original house of higher quality.
