Top Donostia-San Sebastian Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hotel Palacio Bellas Artes San Sebastián, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best choice for a Hotel if you are not staying at the Maria Cristina. Newly remodeled (July 2016) 5-star Hilton hotel with 6-star service. Modern, clean and comfortable. It has all the amenities you will want. Limitations, the restaurant staff is very nice and the service is great, but the menu is limited. We stayed with a family group and some of the rooms have slight noise from the street. But, you can't beat the value and attention you will receive from arrival to departure."

The Social Hub San Sebastián

10/10 Excellent

"Interesting concept for modern accommodation. Everything seems to flow seamlessly. Clean, functional, and generously sized rooms. The free laundry allowed us to catch up on our washing on a 6 week tour of France & Spain. Some reviews seem to focus on the 30 minute walk to the old town. We took the 10 minute bus ride from behind the hotel for 1.9 euro everyday. Just tap on with your credit card. Breakfast looked good but we never tried. Gym was well fitted out and rooms quiet."

Hotel Atari

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, friendly staff"

Sercotel Hotel Europa

Barceló Costa Vasca

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Barcelo Costa Basca was simply perfect. The beds are super confortables, the staff’s cordiality is unmatched and the food was glorious. The gym and spa are a great complement to our guest experience. Only low point were a few minor maintenance issues in our room, but overall the best hotel in our trip so far. Thanks Barcelo, Nacho, Cristina and the crew for a wonderful stay!"
