Cleanliness
8.6
Multiple reviews explicitly praise cleanliness and a very clean room; housekeeping was generally satisfactory, though one guest reported a lost item and a lapse in service.
Service
9
Staff frequently described as very attentive, friendly and helpful; a few comments note lapses (lost item, unclear breakfast info), but overall service sentiment is strongly positive.
Location
9.6
Location repeatedly highlighted as excellent — beachside/Ondarreta, close to Old Town, great sea views and quiet neighborhood; proximity to beach is a major strong point.
Room Quality
7
Many mentions of outdated furniture, small bathrooms, hard/creaky beds and need for renovation; a few rooms praised for comfort and sea view, but overall room quality sentiment is mixed-to-negative.
Amenities
8.8
Parking, minibar, air conditioning and pleasant sea-view rooms are noted; parking is often cited as a benefit though sometimes full due to nearby construction.
Value for Money
7.6
Some guests feel shortcomings in comfort reduce value for money (small bathrooms, worn furniture), while others find the location and service justify the price — overall sentiment slightly below target.
Food and Beverage
8.4
Little direct commentary on food quality; one guest noted lack of breakfast information at check-in. Assigned target rating due to sparse mentions.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall impression is positive driven by excellent location, friendly staff and cleanliness, tempered by room comfort and renovation needs; final experience is generally good but not perfect.

Well established hotel with great staff
Pros:

Lovely established hotel, nice size rooms and clean. Welcoming and helpful staff, who stored securely our bikes. Good breakfast before departure. Location was good, away from the hustle and bustle of San Sebastián but within walking distance.

Excelente mix de ubicacion, servicio, calidad y precio, repetire...
Pros:

vistas unicas a pie de playa de Ondarreta, muy aconsejable. El servicio super atento

Cons:

Creo que por una inversion marginal, podrian "modernizar"un poco los banos, el mono mando del lavabo se le habia caido la tapa al grigo, la ducha tenian unos mandos que estaban tan duros que a mi, con mis 110 Kg me costaba abrirlo, la alcachofa era de 20x20, y por porque dinero mas se puede poner una de 40x40.

Pros:

Its central location and the room was very clean.

Cons:

In desperate need of renovation!!
The furniture were old and I could barely open the wardrobe. The bed… First time I slept in such a hard mattress and the bed was creaking; I thought it was going to break.
Also the bathroom so sooo small even for one person!

beachside location
Pros:

The location was absolutely perfect, right next to the beach in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood. Additionally, the staff went above and beyond to be helpful, and the overall cleanliness of the property was highly satisfactory.

Cons:

The room facilities and overall comfort left a lot to be desired. Given the shortcomings in comfort, the stay did not feel like a great value for the money. there was construction next to the hotel and the parking was always full.
