My mother and I stayed in San Sebastian for 4 nights, 2 here and 2 in town. We stayed here when we had a car and were using SS and a base to explore the countryside. Free parking is very handy in this town. Even in April, driving and parking in town was not good. Good: The view was spectacular... More

We stayed recently at this hotel, perched high on top of a hill overlooking the city and bay of San Sébastian. The view from the rooms on the beach and the ocean is really spectacular. The room was spacious, well equiped, and clean; the staff very friendly and competent. The relation of service, quality and price is correct, although not... More

This would be the best accommodation in San Sebastian. On top of Monte Igueldo with amazing views from your balcony. We never wanted to leave! The service was out of this world, good old-fashioned service has meaning here, the staff were incredibly helpful. The price for this accommodation is ridiculously low, if you take everything into account. We hope to... More

After a very late dinner at local 3 star restaurant Arzak, and an early morning departure at 6 am, we decided to economise on the hotel and chose the Mercure for € 118 without breakfast. Part of the decision was motivated by the stunning view over the city of San Sebastian. We were not disappointed, even at night! One of... More

Amazing views, quiet room. But, take the funicular from the hotel down to he sea legal, then a 20 minute or so walk to old town, which is where you want to be. Even the main downtown area is the same distance. The funicular ends fairly early, so you need to take a taxi back up the hill, roughly 10€.... More

Best views of San Sebastian. Some of the best views I ever had from a hotel. I would wake up early to watch the sunrise. I watched the different storms come in and out. Awesome to see it raining over the sea or city but not in other areas. Simply breathtaking views. The hotel lobby and breakfast room also had... More

_Amazing views of San Sebastian. Probably the best in the entire city. -This hotel sits on top of a mountain. -The rooms are small, musty, and outdated. -The restaurant food is amazing, but the decor in the restaurant and lobby are very outdated.

We enjoyed the fantastic position of the hotel overlooking the city and the coastline. The rooms were excellent, comfortable and well appointed. The staff were helpful and friendly making our brief stay very enjoyable. We would like to have stayed a few extra nights.
