I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotless and the bed was incredibly comfy. Having a balcony was a nice touch, although the room felt a bit tight. The hotel is conveniently located with a bus stop right outside that takes you to the city center. There are plenty of tapas bars nearby to explore the local cuisine.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with clean and modern rooms featuring a fantastic king-sized bed and a great walk-in shower. The amenities were plentiful, although I missed having disposable slippers. The service was mostly fantastic, although there was a small hiccup at the bar. The location was calm, near the beach but a bit of a distance from the old town. The dining experience was amazing, offering a wide variety of choices. Overall, a great option with some room for improvement.

The hotel is located in a beautiful area of San Sebastián, offering a quieter retreat while still being within easy reach of the city center and the beach. The rooms are clean and of reasonable size, though the beds are softer than I prefer. The dining options are varied with a lovely spread, but come with a higher price tag. The service provided by the staff is exceptional, with attentiveness and a willingness to assist, although some minor issues with restocking amenities were encountered.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, albeit not soundproof, were modern, clean, and well-appointed. The bed was just okay in terms of comfort, but having a balcony was a nice touch. I didn't have breakfast, but I enjoyed the superb pool and the soft towels provided. The bar also had a good atmosphere.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were very good with a fab shower, although I was at the wrong part of the hotel. They were very spacious and spotlessly clean, perfect for a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of downtown San Sebastián, even though the walk back after wine and pintxos was a bit tiring.

The location was nice, outside the city center and within an easy walk to the beach promenade. It's a bit far to just walk to the 'old town,' so a car might be necessary, which can be challenging to park around town.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and clean with a balcony, although the bed was just so-so comfortable. I didn't have breakfast but enjoyed the superb pool and the soft towels. The bar was good too. The only downside was that it can be a little noisy due to the modern decor lacking soft furnishings to absorb sounds.

The hotel offers clean and great rooms with excellent showers, but the bathroom door is a slide door that does not close completely, affecting privacy slightly. The service was helpful and professional throughout our stay, though at times not very friendly, and they missed refreshing tea and coffee as needed. The location, while a bit untidy and at a distance, has the advantage of a peaceful recliner with a drink overlooking the bay. Dining was buffet style at €21 per day, with no greens and occasional queues for coffee. Overall, the hotel provides a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
