All that glitters is not gold. Shower and ac good. Bed ok but defineately hard. Service - I've seen happier people at a funeral and staff per demand is low so both those are on management. Wifi weak and flakey. In room coffee ...instant coffee ....that is 2 star hotel stuff not to mention only 1 regular packet and not replaced. No iron or ironning board available. Just a litany of thing that keep this grand on the surface but less so underneath

We arrived to San Sebastián in the afternoon via the bus from Hendaye. We knew the hotel was on top of one of the flanking hills on either side of the crescent beach so was excited to get to the hotel and take in the view – like the pictures. You can take the 16 bus which runs from end to end, we arrived at the base on the funicular that takes you up to the hotel and here is the first problem; you have to pay to go to your hotel. As a guest you get a concession rate of €3 per person return, it doesn’t sound like a lot but given there is nothing to do around the hotel as it’s on the far side of town you would soon spend €10 a day just getting up to your hotel a bus into town. The second issue is that the hotel is on top of an old amusement park, luckily the weather was bad so it wasn’t busy but this itself is a tourist destination so if you just want to go to your room for a nap, you have to go up a funicular with a bunch of tourists who just want to go on the rollercoaster. The view from the room is nice, but to have your window open you can hear the sounds of kids in the amusement park below. It’s a very weird experience. We arrived and even though we paid upfront for 4 days, I asked if we could cancel our stay before we checked in. Obviously, they wouldn’t refund us so we just grinned it and stayed for 2 nights. The hotel is fine, it’s what a commercial chain hotel was back in the late 90s and hasn’t changed much since. It’s clean, facilities are old but nice enough.

Fabulous views.
Lovely hotel with amazing views over the ocean, the city and its beaches. We ate in the dining room one night. The meal was delicious, and the service from the restaurant staff was excellent. A long walk to the Old Town was worth the effort, although a bus service was available to the end of the road of the hotel. A very enjoyable stay in San Sebastian which we would definitely return to. Our only negative comment was regarding a lack of coffee in the room, just 2 sachets, and no creamer, but just a small gripe.

Beautiful view from the hotel. Hotel is a little dated and the electrical system is tricky. Our devices didn’t charge all night because we didn’t have the right switch on that controls all the outlets and lights. Also, you might want to bring your own hairdryer as you basically have to straddle the toilet to use it with its short cord and it keeps shutting off when it gets hot.

This hotel has a beautiful view, My room was in a Box. The window had a view of walls. They could have some plants or trees. I arrived from a all day tour around 4:00 and the kitchen was close until 8pm. They did not offer nothing except a bag of potatoes chips and drinks. For me it was not worth to stay here. Next time I will take up the funicular at the end of the beach and have a drink in the restaurant next to it.

The view was breathtaking and the decor in the foyer was lovely but you definitely require the patience of a saint if you want to order ANYTHING from the bar morning or night. I stood at the bar for 20 minutes before walking away with nothing but irritation one evening. At the time, there were only a handful of other people standing at the bar and 3 staff behind the bar who couldn’t seem to get out of each other’s way. The bar snack menu was extremely limited and when we ordered and it came out, the volume and presentation of the food was extremely underwhelming to say the least. The hotel is very secluded so there either needs to be a more a comprehensive menu with more efficient and competent staff or just have vending machines in the foyer. The room was comfortable and clean and the view from the balcony was lovely.

San Sebastian getaway
A 5 night stay at this wonderful hotel overlooking the bay of San Sebastion. The setting was perfect. We relaxed by the pool, either after breakfast or after an excursion down into town, or the old town. Wonderful popl, plenty of sunloungers and its own bar, and again fantastic views over San Sebastian. Our room had a balcony overlooking the bay and mountains, what's not to love. The staff were very friendly, plenty of areas to sit and have a drink and relax, and look at the view. The food was excellent and plenty of variety at breakfast. My only small moan as I like my food hot and not luke warm, is there wasn't a proper hot plate keeping the food hot.

Best views ever.
Hotel is in an amazing hill top position and we stayed in a room with a balcony that looked out onto the bay and the town. Everything about the hotel was exceptional, except they seemed to be very short staffed when we were there and service wasn't great in the restaurant. I definitely would love to return though.

I loved the location but it was not immediately obvious on booking that the location was on top of a hill - need to pay more attention !!! I liked the room layout but AC was not the best. Closing the bar at midnight was offputting and staff did not have but very rudimentary English. Important given the clientele was international
