Unique property with incredible view over San Sebastian. Conveniently located - quiet at night and quite accessible from the street with an exclusive elevator. Room was very nice, shower with really nice pressure! Pool was quite busy so we didn't use it, but we took full advantage of the spa - very nice wet spa amenities and amazing massage! Service was very nice overall within every interaction. We would definitely stay there again!

The family room we had was superb, it felt quality as soon as we walked in. The pool was good but could do with a few more Sun loungers / deck chairs, less sofa seats as big and bulky. I have to say the pool area was immaculate. The roof top bar we used twice during the day and evening, staff are very helpful and cheerful. The views from both the pool and bar are superb. The reception team are super helpful, informative and really helped to make our stay a memorable one. Breakfast was good, having a chef at front cooking omelettes and eggs to order a nice touch. I would highly recommend this hotel to all.

This property is situated right in the heart of old town San Sebastián. It features a beautiful rooftop pool with panoramic views of the beach and surrounding area. The room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was served buffet style and offered all the regional delights including tomato jam with homemade bread. The staff were always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this property during your stay at San Sebastián.

Bueno y no tan bueno

Siento que le falta ese toque especial hacia los huéspedes. Teniendo en cuenta lo que pagamos el hotel se siente frío y el personal no es cálido. El hotel tiene muchas facilidades pero le falta atención hacia detalles. La habitación cómoda pero la cama dura y muy finito la colcha. El baño excelente. El restaurante tenía un menú limitado solo cenamos un día y estuvo bien. En resumen nuestra estadía no fue memorable, fue adecuada pero por lo que pagamos no me volvería a quedar.
