Out of town, but relaxing place to stay.
Pros:

Great secure parking garage (chargeable), easy / cheap bus in to old town every 10 mins or so. Has a nice spa (chargeable), good hotel breakfast.

Cons:

Hotel rooftop pool was closed despite warm weather in June, breakfast used to be a choice at cafe or hotel breakfast - now it’s just hotel breakfast option.

Heerlijk hotel wel ver van het centrum. Taxi nodig (12 euro)
Pros:

Moderne en stijlvolle kamer en badkamer

Cons:

Het gebrek aan goede snacks bij de bar bij het zwembad op het dak. Alleen een mini zakje chips voor 5 euro.

Tranquilo, lejos ciudad,
Pros:

el servicio de toallas piscina.Cama confortable.Servicio personal bueno.

Cons:

* No se revisan las instalaciones. En el baño de la 226 percha rota en la pared del baño. Pedimos varias veces que revisasen el aire acondicionado pues hacia frio y al final lo tuvimos que desconectar. No hay papeleras por la habitación, solo una en el baño. En el desayuno tuvimos que esperar "bastante" para que tomasen nota de las peticiones. Habitaciones relativamente pequeñas para el precio.

Beautiful interior but not what we expected
Pros:

The decor was beautifully done, very natural and sophisticated. The setting was also lovely with lots of greenery around and the hotel designers seemed to blend and take advantage of this.

Cons:

The spa only opened at 1630 so we could not use it when it was convenient for us. As it was not centrally located this meant going out, coming back and going out again potentially if we wanted to use it. Not ideal for a spa hotel. We were not advised of works prior to arriving.
The coffee was from a machine which was surprising for this level of hotel
Overall it felt over priced

Relaxing and peaceful haven with easy access to San Sebastián
Pros:

ARIMA hotel was such a relaxing place to stay. The design of the hotel is beautiful and calming and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. While it is in the suburbs of San Sebastián it’s pretty easy to get a bus into town from just outside the hotel and there is a beautiful wooded area behind the hotel that provides lovely walks and runs. I had a delicious meal in the restaurant and also enjoyed a great massage (and excellent sleep afterwards). The roof pool (cold!) was a very refreshing break from the heat but the spa pools are warm if that is your preference.

Cons:

It would be nice if hotel guests could use the spa facilities for free or at a discounted rate.

Een goede one night sleep over maar verwacht geen small luxury
Pros:

De prijs voor een doorreis overnachting

Cons:

Restaurant niet open , terras waar je zelf binnen je drank moet halen , een kantine gevoel , beperkt ontbijtbuffet en eetkaart … maar okay prijs kamer is goed maar van een small luxueus hotel of the World verwacht ik bvb voor een ontbijt van 24€ meer keuze en uitgebreidere buffet
