From the internet publicity, we expected a wonderful mountain top resort..We arrived to an almost empty hotel(with good reason) on a hill about 5 km from San Sebastian, but with almost NO views of the water. The trip up to the hotel was beautiful, the hotel was a disappointment. The swimming pool was closed and dirty(end of May)..not even possible to have a lounge chair ANYwhere in this hotel. Beautiful sunny weather and nowhere to appreciate it. It is FAR from anything..and no restaurant or room service..Only breakfast at a 10 euros per person surcharge. The staff was such an extreme from the reception we got in San Sebastian. Sometimes the contrasts can be amazing! We felt like we were forcing them to work and they resented it. This is the first time we have felt this way in all of Spain. We have found most of the Spaniards to be so friendly and welcoming. We would recommend staying IN the city..it is charming...up here it is almost a feeling of "the Shining". The rooms are small but clean. IF you pay the supplement you have a view of the water (nowhere ELSE in the hotel)..oops, also from the parking lot..The garden is a disappointment. The only real area to walk was roped off for management personnel only..and we were told in no uncertain terms NOT to walk there! Oh yes, it IS quiet!!! We met several other guests who also felt disappointed with both the reception and the facilities..once again...buyer beware...the internet can be sooo deceiving. San Sebastian is a lovely small city with sooo many charming pensions and inns....we will return there with enthusiasm! As soon as possible!

Nice hotel in beautiful location on top of hill overlooking the bay.
Staff were very helpful & friendly.
Rooms were reasonably spacious & clean.
Breakfast on the terrace was good but no change in menu & it got a bit boring after day 3.
Used restaurant one evening. Food was nice with good service but it was very quiet.
If you are going downtown in the evening for food/drinks you will have to pay 12 Euro each way for taxis, which are no problem to get. I would recommend having a reasonable lunch & hitting the Pintxos Bars on Fermin in the evening. Very good friendly athmosphere around the town. Finish off with a pleasant drink in Plaza De Constitution & watch the world go by.
