Fantastic stay in San Sebastián
Pros:

Perfect location close to the beach and a short walk to the old town. Very friendly staff with an excellent restaurant for breakfast and dinner. The twin room we had was a large size with comfortable beds, beautiful decor and fantastic value for money. The rooms were clean as was the whole hotel.

Well located hotel with beautiful views and comfortable room.
Pros:

The hotel is very well located, the room was comfortable with a beautiful view, and the restaurant food was very good.

Cons:

The only downside was the pool area service. Although the pool terrace is lovely and open, there was no bar service or staff taking orders there. Since the restaurant is located in the lobby, guests had to go all the way down from the 5th floor to get drinks themselves and then bring them back to the pool area.

Can probably get better for your money
Pros:

Really top level amenities

Cons:

It’s a classic nice hotel trying to be luxurious without having everything lined up - told them this was our honeymoon and we didn’t even get a glass of champagne or anything, not to mention the basics weren’t right, no water replaced or conditioner available
