The view from the room was stunning, every detail was thoughtful and the bed was so comfy. I loved that we could open the window to hear the sounds of the ocean. We also had dinner at Amelia and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Worth every penny, we will definitely be back!

Staff was very helpful with suggestions and making a dinner reservation for us. Lent us beach chairs, towels & an umbrella for the beach which was in front of hotel. Had a city view room which was lovely & apparently quieter that the ones facing the beach where the people promenade. Absolutely enjoyed our 3 night stay

Excellent small hotel, in the absolute best location in San Sebastián. Right on the beach, 10 min walk to old town. Great room. AC works great, which is very important in Europe since many hotels are old and don’t have good AC. Very comfortable bed, pillow menu. We requested feather which were really down and very comfortable. Good breakfast and valet parking

Beautiful hotel

Beautiful hotel! We loved it here. Amazing location, right on the beach. They provide towels and chairs and we swam, in December. Our room overlooked the beach and unless youre intending to sit out, go for panoramic views rather than terrace. Lovely generous breakfast, a good happy hour. Loved it!
