Each room is themed for an actor who has 'won' at the San Sebastian film festival. There is a handsome and life-like Alfred Hitchcock reading in the lobby. Location is the main drawback--next to the regional bus terminal (great if coming in from Bilbao), but a 15 minute local bus ride to the 'Viejo' where most action and yummy food... More

I echo the other comments about noise problems at this hotel. If your neighbour has to get up early one morning then you will be too! The movie theme is fun for the first night but when you take that away the rooms are pretty basic with cheap furniture, a small window and not much character at all. The breakfast... More

Stayed with my wife for a long weekend and had a great time. If it would be nearer to the centre it would be perfect. However after you had a couple of Pintxos and some good red wine it's actually not too bad going for a 15 min. walk back to the Hotel..... All in all we had 3 great... More

The prices are outrageous, given the quality of the rooms and the structural faults of the hotel (poor noise insulation, both from the traffic outside and from other rooms. Not to mention that if you are next to the lifts you will hear every single trip going up or down. No bath. We had an excellent breakfast in a nearby... More

We enjoyed great service in this uniquely themed hotel. Comfortable bed, clean room and very helpful informative staff. The hotel cafe which is accessible from outside the hotel serves great coffees and continental breakfasts and pintxos throughout the day at great value for money. Location is superb, hop on the number 26 or 28 and you are on the grand... More

Hotel structure is nice, the rooms are nice, clean and well equipped but this does not compensate for the poor service and being made to feel that you were not welcome. The male staff on reception at night were quite helpful , however, the waitress who `served` (if you could call it service!) us at breakfast was awful. The coffee... More

Had a short 3 night stay here with my girlfriend. Room was very nice, we had the Sydney Pollack room, but was clean and well kept by staff. Bathroom and showers were lovely, really pleasant. I did think there was a lack of options for room service etc. Only between hours that their restaurant was open and very limited. You... More

Although I didn't follow my own advise below about how to select a room, it was total serendipity that I was checked into the room that was named after my mother...María de los Dolores Asúnsolo y López Negrete del Río! The staff was quite nice. They helped me find a local bike rental shop, gave us very clear information about... More

A 15-20 minute walk to the centre and the old town but the walk is pleasant. The hotel is great, very comfortable bed, plenty of room, no problems with noise. Bathroom is excellent and has everything you need. In the town so many great places to eat and drink and a lot of pleasure to be had just walking through... More
