The picture on your review email could have been taken from the balcony off our room! Couldn't ask for anything better. The hotel, although 'basic' in that there isn't a gym, pool etc, is everything you could wish for for a short stay (we stayed for 5 nights). It is an immaculately presented and clean family owned and run establishment in a quiet rural area.. Every member staff was unfailingly kind, helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast is good value at 8e pp and tea/coffee and homemade cake is available free of charge in the breakfast room (wjich hss superb views) all day. Although situated halfway up the mountain towards Igueldo, the number 16 bus service into Central San Sebastian (with stops immediately adjacent to the hotel) is excellent (3 buses per hour) and cheap. All in all, an excellent place to stay if you are visiting San Sebastian and the surrounding area.

Liked everything.

We received a very warm welcome. It's a place with real Spanish character. We had a pleasant room and a comfortable bed. There was a first-floor terrace looking out over the coast and city for guests to use. There's a good breakfast, with gluten-free items provided by prior arrangement. The dining room had a superb view over the sea from high above and was available for guests to use for relaxation and hot drinks all day, and to consume our own food there, with the option of buying reasonably priced drinks in the evenings. (We felt the whole stay was great value for money.) There's also a garden, with a swing and seesaw for children. It's within walking distance of a rather quaint but superbly-sited amusement park, 2.5 euro entry fee, based around an old fortress and with stunning views (especially from the terrace bar at the top) along the coast to the west and over the city and mountains behind it. The bus into and from San Sebastian stops right outside the front of the hotel, and runs frequently, even on Sundays. It's an enjoyable trip, going right to the edge of the Old Town, scenic, efficient, and reasonably priced. All of the staff did their utmost to ensure we enjoyed our stay - it's the most welcome I've ever felt in a hotel - and we very much hope to return there.

We loved the whole experience. Some may prefer to opt for a room facing the sea (they seem to have balconies), rather than facing the road as we did, but our room wasn't particularly noisy, and was quiet at night, plus we could see the buses!

The hotel is located in the beautiful Igeldo, a short walk from the fairground and Funicular Railway. The no 16 bus stops right outside so it is easy and cheap (€1.85) to get to and from all areas. There is ample free parking on site. We were greeted by Tanya who clearly and enthusiastically explained everything we needed to know about the area, attractions, places to eat and drink. We do speak Spanish, but Tanya and all staff spoke good english. Whilst the rooms didn’t have tea and coffee making facilities, guests could get a coffee/ hot drink to take the room anytime The hotel was scrupulously clean. Breakfast was continental more than ample with plenty of choice.

Nothing, it was great

A simple but lovely hotel. The pictures do not do the place justice. The location is excellent if you want to get out of the busy city center. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel and it is only 10 mins into the center by bus. The breakfast is basic (cereals, bread, cakes, juice & coffee) but it does the job fine, and the views out over the cliffs and bay from the dining room are beautiful. We had a triple room and a double room and they were both lovely. Spotlessly clean and comfy beds.

Very little negative to say about the hotel. The noise from the other rooms and corridors travels quiet easily, so pack a pair of ear plugs and you'll be fine.

The situation of the hotel was the main decision factor for our booking. The seaview is amazing, You can reach the beautiful city by car (not our choice), by bus (stops oppiste to the hotel), or by funiculaire (10 minutes steep walk from the hotel). The staff is amazing! we felt really welcome and got all the information required for a very interesting stay in the city, from places of interest to visit, restaurants and bars, public transport etc. And all this in perfect french! We loved the view from our room, overlooking the sea (not the Concha, but the other side of the bay). The room was spacious and comfy. The hotel was far from new but very well maintained. There was a safe parking. The breakfast was served in a room with amazing vieuws. The quality of the breakfast was good, the staff very friendly. We loved our stay here and would certainly come back if we were to stay in the regeion again.

We did not like the coffee unfortunately

This stay was amazing! When we arrived, the very helpful front desk attendant (Elena?) gave us the warmest welcome and an incredibly thorough description of the town's attractions and transportation. We had booked a mountain view room, but were pleasantly surprised to be in an ocean view room, which was just spectacular! The beautiful view from the balcony was a real highlight of our stay in San sebastian. The room was impeccably clean, and everything was in great condition. The shower was hot with great water pressure, the beds super comfortable! In the morning there was free coffee and tea. The breakfast looked good, but we didn't try it. The hotel is high on a hill above town, but is a fifteen minute walk from the beach and restaurants and shops, and a very easy frequent bus ride back up the hill on the number 16 bus for less than 2 euro! The bus literally drops you off at the front door of the hotel. We would totally stay again!

We were sad to leave after only two nights!

The staff were so helpful, friendly, and full of information of the surrounding areas and town. Bus timetable, taxis. Etc. All staff were so helpful in every way. We had one day that rained heavily when we were in the town. So got back to hotel, soaked. Because of the weather, we decided to stay in the hotel. They opened up the dining area, lots of help yourself hot drinks. Then later they ordered our pizza to be delivered. Staff then organized plates etc for us. Breakfast was plenty to keep us full most of the day. Great choice of food.

Nothing important to say, except maybe some plug in USB terminals. Would have been easier, Than plug adaptor. But not important, and we managed.

A small, but great family hotel. You don't really see this kind of places so often anymore, since the big hotel chains take over. The place takes you back to the 60'-70ies, and feels very relaxing and homely. The family running the place are very nice and helpful. We took the bus to and from the city centre. Stop right outside, and the bus took about 20 minutes.

We had a room facing the street. A bit noisy. Consider the rooms facing the gardens/ocean. The walls are thin, so you can hear sounds from other rooms.

Friendly, private hotel with personality, rather than a boring chain establishment. The location was perfect on the outskirts of San Sebastián and the 16 bus offered an excellent service right into the centre. We loved our balcony and the sea view. Breakfast was good, for the price, and we enjoyed a slice of cake one afternoon. Good car parking, which is always important.

Tiny bath towels. Our toilet had a worryingly feeble flush and an extractor fan in the bathroom would have been nice. A table on the balcony would also have been appreciated. We had noisy neighbours, which wasn’t the hotel’s fault. We phoned reception and the noise stopped soon after.

Absolutely unbelievable ambience of the past 1970s! All those photos of people who used to be famous and stay in this lovely guesthouse! The view from the breakfast tarrace taking your breath away! And breakfasts are good with the wide selection of cheese, ham and cakes- whatever you prefer. The rooms well furnished with polished wooden floor and furniture.l The bathroom big enough and comfortable. All clear clean, beds comfy.

The rooms from the street side may be a bit noisy but only during a day.
