What a fantastic smaller hotel in the heart of the city. Close to everything from shops to tapas and more. I would definitely recommend the hotel and will return. The rooms are very modern and very comfortable. The main reception retains the look and feel of the original Convent building however all other areas are modern and very well presented. Staff are very friendly and the bar in the main area is very well run and both the drink and the food is of an extremely high standard and very professionally run.

This was our second hotel in San Sebastian and we were comparing so the Zenit was at a disadvantage. However good location, quirky reception/bar, slightly industrial feel to the corridor leading to the bedroom, good size bedroom and bathroom, nice breakfast.The Film Festival had just started so a bit of a buzz in the bar. Nice place to stay and would have been better value but for the Festival and upgrade we got elsewhere. No complaints which is always a good thing.
