Solid four star quality

We were greeted very warmly and first impressions were good. The style and decor is clean and smart. Our room was on floor 3 facing the river and was as expected. It was dark as the beautiful trees lining the river path were in full leaf allowing minimal natural light and no view. The hotel is noisy - sounds from other rooms and the roof terrace are fairly loud. The bed was large and the mattress very firm. We didn’t like the bed much but those who like firm mattresses would. Air con worked well and we used it as we had warm weather. The bathroom all worked and overall the room was good. We had drinks at the roof bar one night and liked the views and found the price acceptable. Breakfast was ok although my husband would like coffee made by a person rather than a machine. With all the food options in Donostia we only ate one breakfast here. Location is great by the way. We walked everywhere and didn’t get lost!

El Abba Hotel está muy bien ubicado, en una zona tranquila pero con fácil acceso al centro y a las principales atracciones de San Sebastián. Es un buen punto de partida para recorrer la ciudad a pie. Sin embargo, la cama no era muy cómoda, lo cual hizo un poco difícil descansar bien después de un día entero caminando y explorando. Creemos que mejorando la calidad de los colchones, la experiencia general del hotel sería mucho mejor. Tuvimos una situación con el baño, pero el staff respondió de forma muy rápida y con mucha amabilidad, solucionando el problema de manera eficiente y profesional. En general, es un hotel con buena ubicación y buen servicio, aunque con margen de mejora en el aspecto del confort en las habitaciones.

Lovely trip, hotel was great but skip the breakfas

Fantastic location, hotel was great, we had a superior corner room which was a great size. I used the gym which was alright, had a running machine, cross trainer, spin bike and some cable and free weights. We paid for hotel breakfast once then skipped it as it wasn’t great. It’s a self service buffet. Unfortunately the cooked items from the buffet were cold, machine coffee was sour. The freshly squeezed orange was the highlight. Main issue was we couldn’t take a banana to eat back in our room, it had to be eaten at the table…..next day we walk about 10 minutes to Old Town Coffee, amazing coffee and breakfast for the same price! Would recommend people do that. Would stay again
