As suggested by its Basque name (which was translated to me by a local to mean "a beautiful place"), an absolutely beautiful location on top of a hill, with a view of a small bay and a beacon. We could hear the roar of the sea at night! The lady receptionist (unfortunately I didn't get her name) was really attentive, helpful and informative, and …

gave us a lot of tips on what to do in San Sebastian. The hotel is located at about 3-4 km from the city. It is possible to walk but on the way back t - - excellent hotel if you travel by car, great location, silent in the evenings, excellent view on the sea, very friendly stuff, easy to reach to San Sebastian, good value for money. You can also travel to the mountain nearby (but somehow you need to pay 2 eur to get to the territory - private territory, we decided to refuse) Tea and coffee are available all the time. It is a family hotel and you can feel that. very cosy breakfast area and lounge. there are also walking paths around hotel with

The Pension was great value. The room was clean and had a cute small balcony out onto a square. The bathrooms were spotless although a little dated. The location is excellent, its in the old town and right in the hustle of the city. There is also a Lidl 30 seconds walk away which had 0.25C beers! The staff were very friendly and it was always st…

affed. - It's a great hotel! Location is great, between 2 bays, supermarket Lidl is 1 minute walk from the hotel, all bars, castle, everything is near. Stuff is perfect, very kind and helpful. Wi-fi works good. Room is always clean and nice.

The pension was spotlessly clean. My room was stylish and modern which isn't always that case in Spain! The bed was really comfortable and there wasn't much noise from other rooms which was great. Pilar (who I think is the owner?) and the other staff were so helfpul and welcoming - they had lots of suggestions for things to do and helped me sor…

t travel for next parts of my trip. It's really close to the Playa de Conca but in a quiet street so not lot of noise. It's definitely a step up from - The 'pension' is a delight. It is a small, family run enterprise in a back street, about four hundred yards from the main beach and eight hundred yards from the old town. It is spotlessly clean, recently refurbished and well run. The boss greets you on your arrival, sees to your very need and helps you with directions to a private, secure car park facility one hundred yards away. I would go back tomorrow - or whenever I next go to San Sebastián.

Everything about this hotel was just perfect. We were lucky enough to book a double room, as the hotel was fully booked. No wonder! When we arrived, the very polite staff answered our questions before we even asked them! They even provided us a list of the tapas we have to try, and also the recommended restaurants. We also learned about the main s…

ights and what are the most important places to visit during such a short stay (1 night). Absolutely top service! The room itself was very clean and c - The owner was superlative in every way, trained in hospitality with a wealth of experience and knowledge about how to run a hotel business. He is smart, resourceful, really cared about his guests, and speaks English beautifully. The rooms were each beautifully and individually decorated with taste, a mini fridge, some with balconies, situated in the old and fun part of San Sebastián. I highly recommend staying at this pensione. We found it by a chance booking through letsbookhotel.com, and we f

Hotel Nicol's is a great hotel for a great price. It was very clean and the room was cleaned daily with fresh sheets and towels.

t the hotel was so far (35 minute walk to san sebastian town)however with such a fantastic view and regular buses and cheap taxis it turned out to be a good choice.

A very good experience: Basically a student dorm that is rented out during the summer. It's clean, comfortable and handy for the town center if you don't mind taking a bus (the #5 or 25, 1.60 euros each way). Our room, #157 was great and I recommend it: it's a corner room and very quiet.It's warm at night, but otherwise no complaints. There's even…

a gym in the lower level which is spartan but very handy (and rare in San Sebastian). And and last but NOT LEAST: free parking. (Even though it's out - Colegio Mayor Olarain was a real breath of fresh air after a couple of depressing budget hotel rooms--a big, airy dorm room with big windows and lots of space. Breakfast was good too. But best of all was the staff. While in San Sebastian I fell, cut myself badly, and needed stitches. Next day I was concerned about the wound and staff drove me to a clinic to get checked out. Wonderful people here.

Great location - Central location, pleasant friendly English speaking staff.

The hotel was ideally located for us as it was relatively easy arriving and leaving by car and was a nice walk ( about 20 mins) to the old town, beach and other sites. Onsite parking was available - make sure you get your room card from reception before parking car or you can't use lifts to the hotel! The hotel itself was a modern, clean hotel wit…

We chose this hotel as we were arriving by car and didn't want to drive right into the city centre. The walk into town only takes 10-15 mins. We also loved the movie theme of the hotel and got the Bob Hoskins room. The rooms have DVD players and you can hire for free, movies from the hotel to watch, so we thought this was pretty cool. Can't comment on the breakfast as we went an ate elsewhere.

Very nice comfortable clean and stylish apartment, friendly helpful staff. Free WiFi Location handy to shopping and beach areas. San Sebastian is a beautiful city and we wish we could have stayed longer. Arrizul Apartments is a good base for exploring San Sebastian. - staff could not have done more & were really friendly as were the donastia …

Highly recommend staying there! - + very friendly and helpful staff + the hostel is located in the oldest building in the old town - in the city centre + clean and nicely decorated

I stayed in a triple room with two other friends. The room was lovely. It is one of the few places I've stayed where the picture of the room looks exactly how it is. The beds were comfortable and the shared bathroom was not a problem, there are three really nice bathrooms for only a handful of rooms. Susanna was very nice, welcoming, and flexible …

Couldn't possibly get a better location, right in the heart of the old city and within walking distance to everything. Staff are really friendly and gave us such a warm welcome and farewell. Don't be put off by shared bathrooms - 3 bathrooms for 6 bedrooms means no waiting and it seriously felt like the bathrooms were cleaned after every use. Su…
