The Zinema7 is themed around cinema and the San Sebastián Film Festival. Each room offers free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV’s and is dedicated to an actor or director who has visited the city.

The room was really nice and spacious. The bed was very large which was great. And the room was absolutely spotless - one of the cleanest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. The room service breakfast was excellent and very generous! While not in a central location, we really liked the Amara area - it was pretty quiet with lots of local shops etc, so you felt like a local rather than a tourist.

Hotel Antik San Sebastian is located in San Sebastián’s Ondarreta district, 4 minutes’ drive from La Concha Bay. It offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi.

Very nice hotel in residential quite area very close to the old town and main attractions. We travelled by car and hotel has its closed private parking, In 5 minutes you can be in city center by car or taxi. Hotel staff was very nice and helpful, full recommendation. Breakfast is good and overall atmosphere calm and enjoyable. Be aware that there is a very busy street on one side of hotel so if you need to open the window you hear traffic noise, which was not the issue for us, but may be if you would stay longer.

Barceló Costa Vasca is 450 metres from San Sebastián’s Ondarreta Beach, next to Miramar Palace and Gardens. Rooms at the Costa Vasca are bright and minimalist, with lots of natural light.

What can we say. This was a superb experience. Staff are so friendly and helpful. We had dietary needs and preference (Coeliac and Vegan) and all was delicious and perfect. Wonderful breakfast, special evening menu. Our experience was so good we chose to stay extra time in the city because of this hotel and their staff. A special word of thanks to Teresa the Guest Experience Manager

    This hotel is exceptional, the breakfast range of food is vast, the rooms are modern designer style and very comfortable, the staff are outstanding and value you as a customer, nothing is too much for them. We had to rent a walker for my wife and it was delivered within an hour. The location is near to the beach and Old Town. The pool on the roof was not open, due to it being March, but the whole pool area was huge and in summer would be a lovely place to be.

    Interior design of this hotel is just beautiful, from bathroom, restaurant to corridors. Stunning and very clean. Room feels smaller with 3rd bed open yet there was enough room for all our luggage. USB plugs at bed side tables, no need for adapters. Very well equipped gym. Plenty of parking, very convenient when traveling by car. Location away from busy city centre, therefore very quiet. Very frequent bus to the centre (28), even on Sundays and bus stop is just 2-3 min walk. Very helpful and polite staff.

    Very friendly and helpful host! Location excellent, very central but still quiet. Nice, stylish interior design of rooms. Roomy bathroom and shower. Many different-size pillows provided. Good relation price/service. Obviously not a luxury hotel, but can definitely be recommended. Especially for the price, since San Sebastián is generally rather not cheap.
