“Bahia - good price for a good quality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2010

although its a hostal, the quality of the rooms (those bigger ones) is similiar to regular hotels. As for hostal the prices are not low but remember that San Sebastian is considered to be the most expensive city in Spain.
The staff is very, very helpfull and can deal with anything. Important fact is that they do speak english which is a bit rare ability in Spain.
The location is great, next to center and just 100m from the main beach.
Excellent place.

“At the price, no complaints. Clean and reasonable location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2010

Pretty standard 3 star hotel. Surprisingly clean and well maintained. Staff are helpful. In a reasonable spot just one black back from the beach. A good cheap alternative.

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2010

We really enjoyed our stay at Hostal Bahia and found it great value for money. The location is very good being very close to the beach and an easy walk to the old town. The staff were very helpful and a good breakfast was provided.

“Was okay, but then would not fix billing issue.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2009

I would have said it was a little overpriced, but not a bad place to stay. My biggest complaints would have been some unfriendly staff members and that the bathroom doors offer no privacy-nothing major. However, when I received my credit card statement, I found that I had been charged twice. I tried e-mailing, as I was no longer in Spain, but they didn't respond so I had to report it as a fraudulent charge. So be very wary about how you pay. Apparently they don't care to amend such mistakes.

“Quaint little hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2008

I just got back from Spain 2 weeks ago. We stayed at Hostal Bahia in San Sebastian for 2 nights. I had no idea what to expect because of the poor reviews I read from Trip Advisor, however I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. They renovated the hotel recently and our room was small but very nice. The bathroom was large (another very pleasant surprise) and completely renovated. We stayed in the basic double room so I would imagine the superior double to be even nicer. Also, I did not have any issues with the service. I thought the staff was very helpful and friendly. I have nothing but good things to say about Hostal Bahia and I would definitely stay there again. It is a small, boutique type hotel so don't expect the Hilton and you'll be fine. As for San Sebastian, what an amazing place! I can't wait to return.

  • Liked — bathroom was large and newly renovated
  • Disliked — reception area is on second floor
