Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Nice Hotel overlooking San Sebastián. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Hotel was very clean and comfortable room. Small gym but had everything you need. Really good breakfast with plenty of choices. We walked to the old town which took around 30 mins and taxi back as it’s uphill, which was 10 Euros. It’s a 10 minute walk to La Concha beach. Plenty of free parking outside the hotel.

What a wonderful view of San Sebastián from up above. About 10 mins drive from the centre. Good size room. Fridge available. Big bath. The whole place is so clean and immaculate. Swimming pool looked a great size. Staff gave a lovely welcome. Free parking and very pet friendly. The centre can be very noisy so this hotel provides a great escape for a siesta before getting out there again to enjoy the wonderful food.

Great view of the city, bonus points for free parking in a city where there is hardly any free parking. Clean rooms, minimalist feel. The #16 bus stops close to the hotel, which goes right into the old town. However, our toilet broke after the first night. When we told them, they said they would send someone to fix it. When we got back to the room, the original flushing device was just placed back into toilet. It was broken and the whole unit needed replacing. We told them again, but it was late in the date and they had no one there to fix it, so they ended up switching our rooms. Not a fun thing to do late in the day. Other than that, the hotel is a good price for what you get, especially with the free parking.

Nice hotel with a view over the city below it. The rooms are nice and well kept. We had breakfast included and it was well worth it as the buffet breakfast had a lot of choices and was plentiful. There is parking on site. The hotel is within walking distance to the centre of town, but it is a long walk. The hotel has a nice pool area as well. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

It’s up on the hill, but it’s a short walk down to the old part of town. Views are great if you get a room with one. Free parking, pets are charged at 22 per day. They have a small gym and a pool, as well as a breakfast room and bar. Room itself was decent size, has a couch and small table and a mid-size bathroom. Everything was clean and functional. Room service available too, including external restaurants. Service was nice, we had a very pleasant stat and would do so again. It’s a long walk (or short taxi) to the pinxto area of town around La Concha, but the beach is 500m (Ondarreta).

Based on the reviews and pictures of the hotel we’ve decided to book a room. To be brief: rooms are clean, basic and decent. The ambience in the room could be better if they only should use another type of lightening. More warm light instead of cold white light like in an operating room can improve the atmosphere. The staff at the reception is not client oriented and welcoming at all. When we’ve checked in they didn’t even take the effort to explain where and at what time you can enjoy breakfast. The staff in the breakfast room was in contrary to the reception very helpful and friendly.

Small friendly hotel with nice location, all the services and good location. Staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, breakfast with plenty of choice, good coffee. Great (small) pool and gym areas. Sea is 500m, a bit downhill, but nothing too bad. Parking free.
