An excellent albeit expensive boutique hotel in one of Spain's most enjoyable cities.
Pros:

Great location in the heart of the modern city but within a 20 minute walk of the Old Town. Staff was exceptional in assisting with requests. Food and drink at Barru was very good.

Cons:

For the price we paid, the room should have been larger.

We enjoyed San Sebastián but the hotel was over priced for 4 star. We then spent time in Bilbao in a 5 star hotel which
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Choice for The breakfast was not very good. Some staff were pleasant and helpful but others were not. The reception was just a table with a lap top resembling more a coffee shop than a hotel and some of the team didn't acknowledge you.
