“We really enjoyed our stay at this boutique hotel very well located in the old district of San Sebastián right next to key tourist sights and the bulk of pinxto bar/restaurants. The room itself was clean, modern decoration, great shower and comfortable bed. We particularly enjoyed the sea view across the bay. The staff were accommodating to change a sofa into a bed and helpful with information. The breakfast was limited but tasted good. Overall, would definitely recommend!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at SANSEbay Hotel in San Sebastian, without a doubt the most beautiful boutique hotel we have ever stayed in. Every detail of the hotel is decorated with so much taste, elegance, and attention to detail. The atmosphere is simply perfect. The location could not be better, right in the heart of everything and with stunning surroundings. But what truly made our experience exceptional was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind and professional, and Andreea at reception deserves a special mention. She was so warm, helpful, and welcoming that she made us feel truly cared for from the very first moment. We left genuinely impressed and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting San Sebastian. We can’t wait to come back!”
“Lovely boutique hotel in a brilliant location on the edge of the Old Town in San Sebastian. Walk 30 seconds and you're right in the heart of the action. Lovely helpful staff who all speak excellent English and go out of their way to help you. In our case that meant helping us make dinner reservations on both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. We paid for a slightly bigger room, which was very clean, well maintained, and comfortable. The bed was great and the vathro was a joy to use. The shower was one of the best I have used in Europe. There is a small breakfast/bar area that we only used a couple of times, but the food was great. My only criticism, and it's a minor one, was that we were staying in winter and the room was a little hot. I have no idea how they were hearing the room but I could've done with it set a couple of degrees cooler. Despite that I would have no hesitation in staying here again and would be happy to recommend it to anyone visiting San Sebastian.”
“Of all of my travels, this hotel is my personal favorite. I have stayed there several times. The rooms are perfectly clean, the breakfast is ala carte and delicious. The location is PERFECTION-- in Parte Vieja but on the water side, and the staff is amazing. Staff are responsive to email and whatsapp, they have been very helpful in assisting with restaurant reservations or arranging transportation. They are sincerely proud of the Sansebay Hotel and it shows!”
