The staff were very pleasant - in particular the receptionist Christina, who immediately changed our room when we had a problem. Would recommend this hotel. Coffee was very good too. Bedroom was very comfortable - good bed, clean and very well equipped.

Easy-to-find, comfortable hotel with a good restaurant and excellent staff. Very good breakfast. Secure underground parking. On the bus route into town, and not too expensive by taxi into the centre. Would stay again if in San Sebastian.

Very large hotel, very modern with a massive underground car park which made it very impersonal. Rooms very clean and as previous stated modern, full WiFi coverage all over the hotel. Restaurants not in keeping with the hotels image, poor menu and service as well both for dinner and also breakfast the following morning. Good swimming pool and sun deck and outside dinning area as well as in the bars and restaurants. We did as good for half the price we paid here at some of our other overnight stops so disappointed as we have stayed in a number of Barcelo hotels before.

The air conditioning is not sufficient to overcome the sun that hits the room. They brought us a “Small’” brand fan-cooler machine that did a little to reduce the heat in the bedroom of the suite 523. At night we closed the bedroom door, but when turning off the lights the Small thing turned off too. We had to endure two nights of warm, fan-noise, and lights-on attempts to sleep. Eight conversations led to nothing more than that Small device and a bottle of Champaign which we left behind: Net: Their air conditioning doesn’t work and they can’t fix it.

We were a family of three in a double room with an extra bed. Ample cupboard space, big room, nice bathroom and amenities, cleaning service...wearied the restaurant one evening, the nachos were fantastic but the seabass was very bland. Breakfast looked really nice, but it was too expensive, 20 euros per person. The location was pretty good. Located on a steep hill, away from the crowded area of San Sebastian. A 12 minute walk from the beach and a 7 minute walk from restaurants and cafes and supermarkets. There was a bus stop opposite the hotel which we used to go to the old town. Reception were a bit cold compared to other places I have been in Spain and they were less willing to help. No map given when we checked in, no explanation on busses and ... Although I did enjoy our stay, it was very expensive and breakfast was not included. I would recommend it, but off season maybe.

We stayed here as a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 teenagers for 5 nights. The hotel is great, very modern with lovely bright rooms and great reception/bar area. Our bathroom was looking a little tired but the shower was good. We had a balcony which was a nice addition. The pool and surrounding area are lovely with loads of sun loungers and a pool bar serving drinks and snacks. We ate at the restaurant on two nights and the food was excellent. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. The hotel is a short walk to a lovely beach and a couple of streets with busy bars/cafes. The old town is about 30 mins walk but it’s a lovely walk along the promenade. San Sebastián itself is gorgeous and well worth a visit. This is overall a great hotel with the only downside being that it’s a little out of the centre but this did make for a relaxing holiday.
