“San Sebastian is a great place to visit. The hotel isn't the most modern at room level, but it's comfortable and has a good cafeteria and restaurant with typical tapas and a solid bar in the afternoon. Staff were attentive and correct; the rooms are normal for this category.”

For excursions, the parking lot gives quick access in and out of the city. The breakfast buffet is well stocked and the cafeteria has everything you need. Reception staff were pleasant and professional.”
