We booked this hotel last minute for the Puente and whilst in a nice location with helpful staff, the hotel was generally a let-down. The hotel was not like the pictures on its website (and looked tired), and our ground-floor room had paper-thin walls, which meant we were kept awake by the guest snoring in the room next door! It...

On a short trip from France to Spain in October 2012 my wife and our two daughters (11&13) enjoyed our stay at Hotel Record. We had a family suite with two separated bedrooms. Everything was clean and comfortable and the hosts were very helpful. We came driving and it was easy getting there from the mainroad leading into San Sebastian.... More

the gracious young lady at the desk came out to our taxi, took our bags and thus began a wonderful stay at Hotel Record! She checked us in, after the requisite recording of our passport numbers, be ready to hand those to desk staff, Spain seems to need this, didn't need them in France? She had a handy typed list...

Modest it may be but I cannot fault the helpfulness and generosity of the owner. She went over and above what I would have expected to make us feel welcome. San Sebastián is an expensive place to stay but, unlike most of the places we have stayed in Spain and France, this small, simple hotel does not charge for parking.... More

Firstly the service at Hotel Record was really, really good. The room we got was ok and overall the price was quite fair, considering San Seb is expensive. It's a very clean hotel as well. Only downside is that it's 15-20min walk to Old Town - but hey, if your up for the walk, then it's fantastic.

The hotel was simple, but fine. If you want quiet, try to get a room at the back. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I learned all I know - not much - about pronouncing Basque words from them! But the breakfast was excellent, and only about €5.5 After hugely overpriced breakfasts in France, and nice but meagre breakfasts... More

Hotel Record is in a great spot, easy to walk to averywhere we wanted to go to in SS. Seems the price has gone up a lot since some recent reviews I read, maybe because it was a weekend full of festivals but we paid 110 euros a night which was a lot because the hotel is very basic. Make... More

Very helpful staff and a great location but getting a bit tired and the room design makes them crowded and difficult to get around. we had unwittingly booked into San Sebastian/Donastia at the same time as one of its major Bacchinalian festivals. We were very glad to be at Hotel Record across the river from the Parte Veijas where all... More
