This hotel is a must for anyone visiting SS, especially for first time visitors. Ideally situated within 5 mins walk of the main bus station. The bus direct from the airport takes 1hr 20 mins and runs hourly in winter. Make sure to book your bus home early as the 8am bus was full and a taxi cost 200 euros. Staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and stunning. Everything you need a more for a lovely break away. Thank you.
We stayed in the duplex, and it is literally a dream of a room. I could not love this room more and the skylights make it so unique. The wood-burning fireplace was perfect on a rainy day. The hotel is perfectly located and the staff is so lovely. I will never stay anywhere else in San Sebastian.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff were fantastic, Alicia and the gentleman on the front desk have been so helpful, good with my son (2yo), very knowledgeable!
Extremely courteous staff. Very helpful. Also the breakfast at the restaurant was very nice, pricy, but nice with great service. The hotel was located near the beach, aquarium and city center.
Beautiful boutique hotel with amazing staff that were extremely friendly and attentive. Hotel Arbaso is conveniently situated 10 minutes (walk) from Old Towne. The cathedral views from the Premium Room in particular were amazing. The decor and amenities in the room (bidet, his and hers sink, Marshall bluetooth speaker) were very well thought out. I especially loved the shower.
10/10 will stay again next time I'm in San Sebastian.

The front office staff provided a relaxed and friendly atmosphere at check-in. Provided helpful information for dining options - and helps me
We had a great 2 night stay. The hotel is centrally located and you can walk to all of the neighborhoods and sights of San Sebastián. It’s a 5 minute walk from the bus station. The staff were really nice and helpful. It’s a newly built hotel and the rooms are state of the art. The toilet includes a remote controlled bidet which I’ve never seen before. It also has a light that illuminates in the dark that allows you to find the toilet in the middle of the night - the first time I’ve ever seen that! The mini-fridge is stocked with free drinks which is a great perk. The rooms are clean and modern and the bed was very comfortable.
