Stayed one night. Surprised that in a city so renowned for its food there was no option for food in the hotel ( just the usual €20 breakfast that nobody eats). I don't even think there was a bar!! Room was fine although I hate the way they have two beds stuck together. Outside there was a fresh garden feel about the place. Overall it was good value and with a few slight tweeks this place could be great. Would stay again considering a taxi to the old centre was only €8!

Firstly, we (2 mid-20s females) stayed here during our 3 month Europe trip in a combination of hostels and cheaper hotels and did come here after staying in a hostel in Madrid so may have different expectations to other travelers.

We chose to stay here as most of the hostels were booked out or imposed a two or three night minimum stat over summer and we were only in San Sebastian for one night.

We arrived into town by bus and the taxi to the hotel was only €8 (decided to taxi after reading about the hill!). We did walk the hill a number of times and didn't find it that bad (as said, we're in our mid-20s but we're not actually very fit). It is a bit out of town but only a five-ten min walk to the beach and 30 mins to the Old Town (we managed our walk back into the bus station with luggage no problem).

The receptionist on arrival was wonderful and thankfully spoke reasonable English as neither of us speak Spanish.

The room was clean, not particularly big - our twin room had only a few inches gap between the beds, but it was more than adequate. The bathroom was also very clean and quite spacious.

For the price, it is excellent value for money (only slightly more than our average hostel for our trip and it's private with a good sized bathroom), especially as San Sebastian isn't the cheapest of places to begin with.

Hotel up a steep hill, not for the unfit. No food in hotel besides breakfast buffet, which was excellent, only vending machines, take your own kettle and teabags!! No bar or resturant, take a long walk down the hill into town!! The resturant near hotel was closed.
The garden and terrace was lovely, superb views over town, unfortunatley not permited to sit out after 8.00pm as the door is locked.
Now if you are expecting a good nights sleep, forget it, walls are so thin we heard the guest next door snoring, and we wont talk about the dog in the room above!!!That only kept us awake one night.
This is the first time we have ever complained about a hotel, so you have been warned!!!

Located going up the Igueldo, we found this good hotel. Not modern and not quaint.

What it is though is simple and clean, and a good and scenic walk into the centre. Good value.
