spacious room, accommodated early check in, great location

Henry United States of America

Fantastic location in the heart of the Gros area. Full of bars but all close at reasonable time. Immaculate clean. Remarkable value for money.

Malcolm United Kingdom

The property is very central of San Sebastian. A couple steps down is the main church and everything else is so close within a 10 minute walk.

Valentina Spain

Very good communication via WhatsApp. Easy instructions to follow. Room was great and location good.

Martin United Kingdom

Excellent location, receptionist was super helpful, the suite was the perfect size for 2 friends travelling together. Clean and it had everything we needed. Perfect stay for a perfect city break

Rosanna United Kingdom

Our room was large and had 2 separate areas, one for the couch and "kitchen" section, one for the bedroom area, an added plus. Each section had its own balcony. It was a pleasant surprise to have a coffee maker, microwave and fridge. Extremely comfortable and clean, staff was very responsive. Great neighborhood with just the right amount of good eateries and drinking holes.

Georgia France

Incredibly helpful reception staff, we were new to the city and they couldn't do enough to help. Wonderful. Lovely spacious rooms. Couldn't hear visitors in other rooms at all.

Martin United Kingdom

The staff member that greeted us was so kind and helpful. She WhatsApped us plenty of bars and restaurants to eat at which we loved! The room was great. Nice and clean and so big! The location is fantastic too. Overall its great value for money.
