Good business type hotel of international standard, value for mony booked on a discounted rate. Nice room, big comfy bed and window that opens. Good size bathroom. Good but expensive parking. Hotel restaurant only had set menues but there are some places to eat near hotel or a €7 taxi ride into center /old town. WiFi worked off and on, mostley off with very low signal. No other option in hotel.

Good location next to bus station. Friendly staff and (out of season in January) good value for money. Comfortable beds and really good bathroom with bath. Aircon was unusually quiet so could be left on at night. Nice lounge areas around reception. Pleasant 20 min walk into town and beach, either along riverside or street. Buses also look to be frequent. Would stay here again. The room had too much furniture! The twin beds were much bigger than necessary, as was the desk. Less furniture would have left more room for us to move about in. Some noise from buses backing out below, but the window closed well, so this wasn't a big deal. No breakfast deal & breakfast is Euro 16 extra, which seems a lot. Nearest cafés for breakfast (that we found) are about 5 mins walk toward town and not necessarily open early.

The bedrooms were stylish and comfortable. The coffee in the bar was excellent and the room service very prompt. It would have been preferable to have drawers to put clothing in We would have liked a kettle for making coffee and tea in our room.

We have stayed at the hotel before so we were aware of its facilities and location. However we found it even better now than in the past. The staff are very helpful both at reception and particularly in the Breakfast Room. The breakfast itself is without doubt one of the best you could wish for. So much choice and very nicely laid out and although it is buffet it is replenished constantly. Very good waitress service for coffee/tea also. The hotel is within an easy walking distance for us as a mature couple and there is a bus service directly outside the hotel into the centre if needed. Room 701 is superb for views of the river and city lights etc. I would say that the only thing we would like to see is a reduction in the parking charges. The daily charge is Euros 15 and the same if you stay for a week. I think for a week or more it could be reduced as parking within the city is almost impossible so you are almost forced into using the hotel garage service. Otherwise absolutely no dislikes at all.

Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The room was stylish and clean. The location next to the bus terminal is convenient and the walk downtown not long. There is a nice cafe/restaurant downstairs (not cheap but not very expensive either, and good quality). (Did not try the breakfast.) Noise from traffic outside was not well isolated. Luckily we had a room on the more quiet side and there was nothing to complain about. However, I can easily believe the rooms on the bus terminal side to be more noisy.

Right next to the long distance bus station. I can easily catch a bus to the old town and start my culinary tour. The room is clean and tidy.

We really like the hotel. It has parking, good cafeteria, excellent service, and it is really clean with excellent toiletries in the bathroom daily. The hotel is located next to the bus station which is very convenient since driving in Spain is not easy because the gps there is not as good as it is in America. The hotel is 15 minutes walk to the Boulevard, San Sebastian is very safe and you can walk or take a taxi which are pretty cheap from the hotel to the center.

Very nice place, and a good value by San Sebastian standards. Hotel was nice, with plenty of small extras. Staff was very helpful. Location is literally next door to San Sebastian's "bus station" (just a few bus bays), which couldn't be more perfect if you're visiting Madrid or Bilbao in the same trip. It's a couple of minutes from the Amara Viejo neighborhood, where you can find low-key and family-friendly cafes. It's about a 20 min walk to the old town and beachfront, but this is entirely a pleasant stroll along the town's well-manicured and tree-shaded riverfront, which the hotel faces.

It was close to the bus stop to go to Old Quarter and the main bus station coming in from Bilboa. Our room (# 910), the shower went from scalding hot to freezing cold within minutes. It was very unreliable in trying to control the temperature and frustrating to take a shower the 3 days we were there. The bed was not the most comfortable. My husband had a backache each morning so not sure if the bed needs to be replaced. We liked the size, but it was not very comfortable.

We liked the percieved quality of the facilities, later to find out it wasn't near what we expected and the service was horrible. Non smoking rooms would still smell like smoke and come through bathroom vents. Hotel staff was not understanding, very rude and ignorant. Also, the staff at the front didn't explain anything when we showed up and were quick to get frustrated and rude when my wife and I asked questions. Really it was just a bad experience. Its a shame because that place has great potential.

The location is great. After a very early flight and then a 70 minute bus transfer, it was terrific to just arrive at the bus station and cross the road and walk straight into the hotel. We asked for a quiet room on the opposite side to the bus station and there were no issues with no noise. Being next to the bus station meant it was a great spot for days out such as the Guggenheim.
