“Perched atop Monte Igueldo, it's hard to deny the commanding views over San Sebastian Bay, best enjoyed from the seasonal rooftop pool; inside, the 1920s bar adds a touch of historical charm. Though a bit removed, the funicular offers simple transport to the city, making this a worthy choice for those prioritizing scenery. It's a place where the location justifies the stay.”

limited hours inattentive staff

The breakfast offered a delicious and varied selection, a definite highlight.

The funicular had limited hours, it did not run after 6 PM in the winter. This made accessing the city difficult. I also found the service in the restaurant lacking. The staff seemed inattentive, it detracted from the dining experience.

prime location quality loungers

The hotel rooms feature nice decoration. I found the pool was open thanks to good weather. The rooftop deck has quality loungers perfect for relaxation. The panoramic views from the roof were amazing.

I noted the room soundproofing could be improved. There was also only pod coffee instead of the option to make a cup of tea. I found the breakfast buffet expensive.

spacious room on-site parking great terrace broken equipment outdated bathroom no air-conditioning

the room, a standard twin room mountain view, was spacious. parking on site was straightforward. drinks on the terrace were good.

the gym had no air conditioning and no water available. the equipment are old. the bathroom reminded of something you'd find in a house that hasn't been touched in decades.
