Best location, stylish and comfortable. Rooms are just really small - so small that the big window only opens 20% and we but a chair above a closet for the second suitcase. And the view is a wall… a nice brick wall, but a wall. Would stay here in a beat on a quick trip with very little luggage - or only book a front room with a view - but just too tight for comfort. Was too full for us to upgrade our room, which I think would have changed the experience a lot.

Great place to stay while in San Sabastian

The hotel is cute and the staff is nice. We were close to every thing, the restaurants and the beach. We had a room on the left side and people walking by could see into our room. That was the only issue that we had. The restaurant was nice to grab coffee in the morning and even a croissant or hot meal. I would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in old town

We had a great stay at SANSEbay hotel. It was really conveniently located in the old town and a short walk to the beach. The streets were busy in the evenings but the hotel was quiet and the people had no trouble sleeping. The beds were really comfortable. Overall great stay!
