Love this hotel, the staff are always super friendly and helpful. We travel with our dogs and they have a great dog service. Last time we stayed we had a free upgrade too. The location is great, handy parking and nice breakfast. Walkable to the beach.

It's very clean and efficient but lacking in any charm as it's a big chain hotel. The staff do their jobs well but are not very welcoming. The pool is only about 60cm deep so not much use for adults apart from a quick cool down. The roof terrace bar could be so much better but currently is a sparse unwelcoming place. If you don't want to take any risks with your hotel choice it's a safe bet but I'm sure there will be more interesting options in San Sebastian.
