Find the Cheap San Sebastian Hotels

Beautifully appointed hotel in the old town with fabulous views over the bay. The roof terrace is a treasure, what a place to enjoy a late afternoon drink and watch the sunset! The staff were all very good - everything was made to feel effortless and we had a very relaxed stay at the hotel. Breakfasts were excellent and hats off to the team - they were so organised and friendly - just like being in the best pintxo bar in the old town! Only feedback for future guests is that you can't sleep with your window open due to the all night noise in the old town - the rooms have excellent windows and block the noise but you need the aircon (we don't like aircon so we didn't sleep as well as we're used to as a result - I can't fault the hotel in any way but just feedback for others.)

unfortunately the room was not so clean on arrival, we found dark hair in the bathroom and a soft drink bottle with cigarette stubs on the balcony. the room had a whirlpool, however, the hotel staff explaining how it works only spoke local languages. we decided to have breakfast outside the hotel as it was extremely expensive. The hotel is the only 5 star that we found directly at the beach. Parking was very well organised and directly in front of the hotel, the beds were good and so was the shower and bathroom facilities. Next time we would look for a hotel with better value for money.

Loved this hotel! Would highly recommend it to all our friends and family. The position is perfect and the welcome we received was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was gorgeous. Two pretty shuttered windows overlooking the cathedral and square, fantastic bathroom and we both said the most comfortable bed we have slept on in an hotel for a while! Also the blackout blinds were excellent. House keeping just fantastic, so clean and tidy everyday. Narru the hotel restaurant was delicious and ate there twice!! You must book as it is very popular with locals too. The oxtail ravioli, hake with cauliflower and red tuna gazpacho just to highlight a few were just delicious. Above all the service from all the staff was tremendous. Always smiling and ready to offer great recommendations. Thank you for a super stay we will definitely return.

✴︎Pros: - cozy and natural woody taste room which is definitely my type - water is free of charge if you ask the front - sunshade was smart enough to be controlled by buttons ✴︎Cons: - no place to get foods besides the restaurant located inside the hotel - ordering by an item is not available for at least the lunch time we went, had to order 2 items for each person including dessert - location is a bit far from the busy area of San Sebastian however taking taxi only took 12-13euros even at night, and taking a bus is easy on the way since going to the bus stop is really within a minute. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel if you are easygoing to get around taking a taxi and a bus and rather sleep in a quiet area.

Looking for a few days away with my husband, San Sebastian was the perfect choice. After much research we decided to stay at Nobu San Sebastian, this 5-star hotel offers breathtaking views of La Concha Bay (from all areas of the hotel) and combines traditional Basque charm with sleek Japanese design. The rooms are super stylish and comfy, and the amenities are first-rate – think infinity pool, fitness centre and electric bikes available for guests to use. The customer service second to none, nothing was too much trouble. The highlight was by far, dining at the Nobu Restaurant, where the fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavours with fresh local produce is simply incredible! The hotel is perfectly located within a stones throw of Ondarreta Beach and La Concha Promenade. Nobu San Sebastian is less than 10 minutes’ walk from the beautiful old town with its famous restaurants, bars, and historical sites. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to mix relaxation and good food with a bit of culture. We would highly recommend both San Sebastian and Nobu Hotel and restaurant for your next weekend away.

The hotel surpassed our expectation, very pleasant stay, the service is unbearable especially the breakfast, talent made most of the items, personal touch which is hard to find these days elsewhere. Very new and chic design, small and feels home away from home. Definitely will come back again when we visit the city!

Location location location! Situated on edge of old town next to the bay, this hotel was fabulously located to get everywhere. Comfy beds and helpful staff. Check in with a glass of local wine and got a map of good pinto bars and local restaurants- all proved accurate. Staff were great at calling cabs etc.

The hotel is an easy 10-15 minute walk from the city centre, and is located on a traffic island next to San Sebastian's busy riverside highway. The location is so so (but handy if you need the hotel's parking spaces). The main business of the hotel is hosting coach tours; this is not somewhere for a family holiday or business visitor. Strengths include attractive and spacious ground floor lounges with a busy bar and good food, cheerful staff, and spacious rooms. The breakfast is vast and excellent. But there is a lack of attention to detail: no iron, the desk cluttered by the television, the failure to collect my laundry, noise from spindly iron chairs on the floor above that need rubber feet; tables not cleared quickly enough at breakfast to cope with the coach tour crowds. In summary - ”adequate” (but could be excellent...)

In July 2023 we were travelling around in Spain without much of a plan. That is great of course but also comes with some challenges. For example, we ended up in San Sebastian during a festive week without any hotel reservations. Not our best idea as most hotels were fully booked. Luckily the Hotel Antik had one room left, so we decided to book the room as the reviews were pretty good. The hotel lobby is neat and looks up-to-date and the hotel is nicely located just outside San Seb. Enough public transport to take you to the city center. After arrival we first checked out the room... Well... That didn't meet expectations to say the least. The room was very, very old and falling apart. It was noisy (think the noise came from the elevator?), the toilet was standing loose on the floor and the water kept running, dirty shower curtain... I honestly don't know how (or when) they got a 4 star grading or such a good reviews. Maybe we just had the worst room in the building but I don't think it is worth the money unfortunately.

Positive - The staff worked very hard to engage and make your stay pleasant. Helpful and responsive to feedback. Negatives - Location is odd. While walkable to the main attractions, it can be quite a walk and if the weather was bad too long. There are taxis and you could learn the bus system but its a long 20 minutes vs a short 20 minutes. Mattress uncomfortably hard. Bathroom has all sorts of design flaws that lead to wet counters and sinks that don’t really drain. If the key isnt in the slot there is no water. The worst part. Each evening my room smelled of stale tobacco. Not sure if wafting in from outside smokers, apartment building next door, or the aircon venting system but each night I fell asleep to stale smoke. Cool enough to open windows but then you hear noise and get smoke. By morning it wasnt there or during the day so I suspect the source is real and not my imagination. As far as roof deck, I had forgotten it existed. I did not see signs in room or elevator or comments from staff encouraging use so forgot. Maybe it would have been pleasant? I was on 4th floor and my view was the apartment building next door. Breakfast was OK and there is also a little a la cart coffee bar with breakfast sandwiches if you prefer to skip the buffet. If I visit again I would pay more to stay closer to old town or Gros. Didnt find the hotel comfortable or well situated. The staff do make an effort and I give 3 stars for that.
