Stayed here on a three day break in San Sebastian. The hotel is well located for the bus station immediately next door and motorway access. It is about a 20 minute walk from the more touristy areas of San Sebastian (old town/port/beach/museums etc). Walk to town either along the river or through the cafe/shopping district around the Buen Pastor church,... More

This hotel is well situated, particularly if travelling by car. It is easily accessed from the major motorways, has underground parking, only 15 minute walk into the city centre or a few minutes in the bus. The bus terminal next to the hotel is NOT where you catch the bus into town. This is more for regional buses. The correct... More

The room and bathroom were beautiful. There was an amazing variety of very nice toiletries, including, makeup removal products, facial toner, shaving and dental kits. It is about a 25 minute walk or 6 Euro cab ride to old town. The walk to the center is along the river and very pleasant. They also provided nice umbrellas, when it rained.... More

Silken Amara San Sebastian is a good hotel *not* to stay in. We booked three nights, several months in advance. When we arrived, the hotel seemed nice enough, but when we got to our room it was extremely warm (I'd estimate it somewhere between 28 and 30C). We turned on the A/C, which blew warm air no matter what we... More

very nice breakfast, lots of choices, very fresh. Location o.k., nice walk to town, ask for a room on floor 6 or up, then no problems of buses.

I travel on business often. The hotel is modern and comfortable. The staff at the front desk all speak fluent English and are eager to assist. My room was large by European standards, and daily maid service efficient, cordial and complete. Be cautious of low rooms adjacent to the bus terminal. Up to midnight, they can be a bit noisy....

Nothing bad to say about this hotel, but it's just a hotel. Would I stay there again? Probably, I suppose... It's difficult, it's not great and not bad at all but I can't feel anything for the place...

The Silken Amara Plaza Hotel is a nice, clean, comfortable hotel located about 15 minutes from the center of the city. It is situated along the Urumea River, and the bus terminal is right next door (we were catching the bus to Bilbao). We arrived by tram from France (Hendaye), and the tram stop was about a 10 minute walk... More

We stayed here during a 3 day stay in San Sebastion. The hotel is located on the river. It takes about 25-30 minutes to walk to the waterfront. Cost about 6 Euros by taxi to get to the city center. The long distance bus station was next door along with a taxi stand. Check in and checkout was smooth. All... More
