Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Away from the center — The hillside location, while scenic, is a bit remote; you'll need transport to reach San Sebastian's main attractions on foot.
  • Limited staff knowledge — One guest found the staff helpful but only when prompted, and with limited knowledge of the area.
  • Facilities rated lower — Facilities score 6.3 and Comfort 6.9 from guest ratings – the lowest categories, suggesting some dated or basic aspects.
  • Finding the hotel — The hilltop location can be tricky to locate; a guest mentioned difficulty getting directions.
