This new Axel is beautiful. From my initial greeting by a very hospitable Racquel, to the gorgeous room. Everything is spotlessly clean, obviously it’s new but the bed was comfortable and a gorgeous shower. My only tiny negative is that the spa pool could have been warmer, but the hotel was superb value for money and a fifteen minute walk from The Conch and incredible food options of the Old Town. I would recommend it highly

Very modern and hip. Great service and vibe. Walkable to everywhere you want to go. We stayed in winter and did not use the pool. If you are looking for a view of the sea, this is the only drawback.

Our stay in Axel Hotel San Sebastián was great! The hotel is located in a quiet area closeby to many cafes and shops and at short walking distance to the beach. The hotel's premises were clean and modern, and we had a spacious and comfortable room. We loved the spa access included during our stay, which was an amazing added value to our holidays. We would definitley repeat!

Nice relaxed and relatively sophisticated place. Was concerned could be a bit seedy but quite the opposite. Nice breakfast. Parking on site for 25 euros a night if space available. Close to centre and nice spa area free to use. We also liked the room layout

Place was very clean and reception was speedy. The rooms were very awkward to stay in for two days with large suitcases. No room at all to hang your clothes other than right over top the only area you could set up any kind of toiletries and was also purposed with bar snacks that were, all available for a premium charge. No room to place any toiletries at all. Place looks nice in pictures. Wouldn’t be our choice in the future. Parking garage available for a charge, very tight spaces.

The property inside was clean and nice. The room was an odd shape and there wasn't much space in the bathroom to keep your toiletries. There wasn't a closet and the hangers overhung the two small drawers and fridge. Just an odd configuration and not very convenient.
