We stayed in this hotel for 1 night during a short stop over at San Sebastien. The rooms had a very strong bad smell, I personally thought it smelled of cooking but the staff told me it's not possible because the kitchen is on the ground floor and we were high up. The staff were nice and friendly and told... More

My wife and I stayed two nights at the Amara Plaza in May. The hotel is clean, modern and close to the river Urumea. Parking is provided in the underground garage for 17 euros/night. Our room was quite, well appointed and furnished nicely. Breakfast was a buffet, with a wide variety of food choices. Staff on the front desk we... More

Have just spent a splendid three nights in a standard room here. It is a fair walk from the old town and seafront but we found this pleasant with areas to explore en route- there are very limited comparable accommodation options closer to the action and a direct bus available. It is located on a relatively busy roundabout between a... More

Booked this hotel to enjoy a restful weekend in beautiful San Sebastian after travelling for a few weeks. Hotel rooms are very well appointed with extremely comfortable beds and a great bathroom. The breakfast buffet is the best we have been offered at any of the many hotels we have stayed in in the past few weeks. The staff have... More

Hotel was within walking distance of both the new town (for shopping) and the old town (for tapas and drinking). Very clean, nice and good sized room. Great service, particularly from the bar tender in the piano bar downstairs.

Stayed here for four nights in April and thought the hotel was very good. Its located right next to the bus station which we found very handy. We came from Bilbao airport by bus and travelled to the old town daily on the bus too so thought the location was perfect. The hotel is very clean and staff were very... More

We stayed for just one night and arrived late so didn't get to really road test the place. But I can say the hotel is clean and modern. We parked in the garage for 17 euros (convenient, but a touch expensive). We had a drink in the bar and the atmosphere was good, but the bar tender was a little... More

You got a sense of professionalism upon check in. Despite the foyer bustling with travelers, the well spoken staff were both helpful and efficient. Our room was very spacious, clean and modern, with a massive bathroom and lots of free toiletries. We both enjoyed the tea & coffee facilities stationed in the corridor and took advantage of the fresh cakes... More

We stayed here for two nights- travelling with a car we needed a garage. The hotel is on a sort of traffic island by the coach station. Coaches depart from 0700 till 0040. There is a taxi rank there- handy! Free wi fi, clean room, pleasant staff. San Sebastián - eat at Arzak! Best of all- it didn't cost a... More

Travelled alone for a 5 day break and from the moment I arrived until the moment I left the staff could not have done any more for me. The hotel is in a perfect location and only a 26 or 28 bus to the boulevard for shopping or old town where all the good bars are. Also the stadium for... More
