We were very happy to be able to park our car in the hotel parking lot, which seems possible most of the time. Our room had a nice view towards the ocean, and was practically on the beach front. The hotel is located right next to the quieter end of San Sebastian, with a great beach and some good bars and restaurants in the vicinity. A special mention to nearby Cerveceria de Antiguo, who whipped up the best pintxos we had during our five nights in San Sebastian. Bar Antzara on Kalea Matea was also good for breakfast and pintxos. Minibar was a plus!

Room was a little bit cramped, and the bed a bit narrow. Breakfast was disappointing. The hotel is 30-35 minutes walk into San Sebasian’s old quarter, which is fine for doing it once a day, but a bit too long for going in several times a day. On the other hand, we ended up preferring the area where the hotel is located (Antiguo) and regretted not spending all of our time there instead of getting lost in the tourist traps of Parte Vieja.

The property is lovely and very comfortable - we enjoyed the location on the other side of Donastia with easy access to the old town. Good access to beach and great walking around the bay. We also discovered the local area for pintos!

We were not advised breakfast was not included and had to pay €15 per person for this service. The breakfast is not worth €15 person and ran out of some products. We were also told parking was included but then had trouble parking - staff could have be more helpful and cheery! Cleaners were great.

The location was excellent with access to all local attractions and facilities. The staff we spoke with were very personable, giving us lots of advise on places to visit, ensuring we even had the information relating to local buses and bus stops. With the exception of the mattress this is an exceptional hotel.

Bed was uncomfortable, we did raise this with staff the morning after our first nights stay, unfortunately the person we spoke with was unable to offer us a solution as all the mattresses were the same in each room. No central seating area.

Great location on the beach. Quiet area. Classic old hotel. Staff nice. Spoke English also. Bed was comfortable.

Room was comfortable but a bit dated. Also with wooden floors, lots of footsteps if the upstairs guests (Germans) are too uncivil to take off their shoes, and although the guest in question was too portly to get up the stairs without loosing her breath; she had plenty of it to draw attention to her bedroom activities later in the day. Bring earplugs and you will have a lovely stay.

Location was perfect for all activities yet far enough away from the very touristy zones. The room was quiet and clean with everything we needed. Staff was friendly and helpful. The lobby decoration is terrible! Lobby is dark and looked like a haunted house when we arrived. The "antique" baby carriage and "antique" lady's pajama on a mannequin make no sense and look like a funeral. Not a good first impression at all. Luckily the hotel was good in all other aspects.

Lobby looked like a haunted house and made a terrible first impression.

A beautiful, authentic building perfectly located away from the busy old town, close to Monte Igeldo funicular. Literally cross the road to the beach & an easy stroll along the promenade to the old town, restaurants, shops & night life. The room was a reasonable size with full length doors that let in a nice breeze. The fridge was a bonus. The staff were pleasant & helpful.

The hotel was very dark. It was difficult to see to put your key in the door. The air conditioning had a noise of running water, so we could not sleep with it on. The bed was very hard. The bathroom was very small & the water gushed from the smaller shower head. The water did not drain away & pooled in the base. Unfortunately these issues did not make this hotel good value for money.

We were upgraded to a room with a sea view which was absolutely stunning, definitely worth it. The beds were extremely comfortable. Location was one of my favourite areas of San Sebastián, you can get the bus 20 minutes or walk 30-40 minutes along the beautiful beach to the centre. It’s very quiet and felt safe.

Shower temperature was very temperamental and the pipes were quite noisy, could hear all our neighbours for example. I think it’s just the consequence of an old building. The staff were not the most friendly, but still fine.

I love every detail about the maison as well as the interior design. The employees are very friendly and helpful. Some people complain about the noise due to the miss isolation and they’re absolutely right, however what do you expect from a building from 19th century? If you are very sensitive to the noises so this property may not be suitable for you, but if you want to experience an historical place then you would be so happy.

First of all, It’s not a big deal but I’d like to mention it. I wanted to stay at a room which has a sea view and I was ready to pay for additional cost. The satff was very friendly and did his best to arrange a seaview room for me at least for a few days. The first room I stayed at has a higher price than my booking.com room and I payed for it for sure. But, the second room, which is much better than my room which I booked through booking.com at first place, its price was lower than my booking.com room. So they compensated the price difference and charged it to me. In my opinion, if it’s cheaper they could keep it same. Nevertheless as I said not a big deal. Meanwhile, you should prefer to stay at 2nd,3rd floor instead of entrance floor.

Friendly staff, 24h reception, excellent location, less than 2 minute walk from the beach

Very good stay overall, only two small things that could have been better: - the toilet in my room was squeezed into a corner, and I could not sit properly on it, I had to sit sideways because there was no leg room to sit straight - also, I brought a plastic bag to put my dirty clothes in, and a 1.5l water bottle to refill. These were both thrown away, as the cleaner assumed they were rubbish. Maybe the hotel can add a policy e.g ‘please put any rubbish in this area’, so that they don’t throw away things by mistake

This is an excellent place to stay. Very close to the beach, which is reached across a little park. A grand old building with sphinxes guarding the steps to the front door and brass statuettes decorating the bedroom. Comfortable bed, plentiful hot water, a coffee machine for espresso in the room, clean, a fun guy on reception who advised on where to eat, decent Wifi, fluffy bathrobes provided - there was nothing not to like. And did i mention the beach?

I marked it down slightly for "value for money" because it was relatively expensive for a two-star hotel away from the centre of San Sebastian - it is in a local neighbourhood that is nice in its own right but a good half hour's walk from the Old Town . But really, that was more than compensated by the individuality of the hotel and the closeness of the beach. I see other reviews where the guests didn't like the breakfast room, but we went out to a neighbourhood cafe for our coffee and croissant (excellent) so I can't comment on that.
