A quiet retreat in the woods, beautiful scenery and wonderful food. Our room was fine, clean, modern. The room was not ready until the check in time of 15:00 so we went to the restaurant, which was amazing (though at €100 for two including one sangria I’d say the price was more New York than outside of San Sebastián…) unfortunately the spa was fully booked so we didn’t have a chance to try it. Overall a very nice experience.

This is a modern hotel with a minimalistic approach greatly executed, elegant choices on furniture. As a tourist, you would be 15min from San Sebastián downtown, very reasonable if you have a car and public buses are a block away and they would place you in downtown in 20min. The hotel is in a very green area and rooms facing the patio side great a lush vegetation view. There is a big lobby area very attractive for getting work done, with a large communal table by the lobby and a smaller table (6 people) facing the patio. Many small tables and chairs in the area, perfect for getting work done or just relaxing. The gym is world class for a hotel in this area of the world, which is fantastic for those keeping in shape while traveling. And the outdoors certainly offer great exercising opportunities. Rooms are well maintained, although you can start to see some of the furniture chipping, mainly chairs and desks. Early attention to these details would be appreciated.

Fantastic

I was travelling on business so I didn't have time for the spa and the treatments but nevertheless, the experience was very enjoyable. The facilities are superb and the staff is amazing. They go an extra mile to help you. The cafe serves excellent food and the service is fantastic.

This is a lovely hotel but it’s essentially in the middle of a suburban office park area. It made a good home base for exploring the Basque Countryside but if you want San Sebastián this isn’t it.

Welcoming professional reception, as were the bar and restaurant staff. Nice food in the evening and breakfast. Comfy bed. The building is getting a little dated and bits need replacing, but it would not stop me staying here again.
