Popular San Sebastian 4-star Hotels

Unfortunately the hotel was a little underwhelming for me. We stayed for 3 nights at the City room, which says it can come with two Twin beds, a double bed, Queen, or King-size. I must have been unlucky because we had a double bed and room was tiny (there is no way a queen or king size bed can be included in the room). The layout was very odd: room was very small but it had a wide entrance and sizeable showers and toilet which was as big as the room. The only positive was the balcony which was quite nice (and big!). The breakfast was quite nice with plenty of choices so we enjoyed that. The other positive was the nice rooftop pool and lounge which would be nice during a hot summer. The gym is pretty good for the hotel, you can get a good workout here. And the indoor pool/sauna is delightful. We spent a few hours here relaxing (and inclusive of hotel price). However,i would also say the location is not ideal for us. We only had 3 days and most of the attractions are located and tours in the old town which was 15-20min walk away, so as we spent a lot of time there with rests in between day and night, we spent a lot of time walking back and forth which became tedious after a few days. When I come back to SS i would likely find a hotel closer to the old town. This is just my recommendation though.

The hotel is located in an unbeatable location, on top of Monte Igueldo, with views of the Bahía de la Concha and the entire city of Donosti. The rooms are fully equipped, with views of the sea and the city, the lobby is very careful and stylish and the service, in addition to being friendly, is very attentive. Dinners and lunches both in the restaurant and in the cafeteria with the incredible views of San Sebastián are unique. It has been a great success.

This was a fantastic hotel 20 mins outside San Sebastián, There is a good bus service to connect you to the city centre but it is a great place to come back to and relax. The staff are very helpful and friendly, the spa is excellent and there is a well equipped gym. The location right beside the forest is so peaceful and there are a number of walks to take or you can just sit in one of the many seating areas and just look out at the greenery. The food is good and there are many choices. Very comfortable bedrooms. This hotel offers the perfect place to both explore the busy streets of San Sebastián as well as relax in a calm and tranquil atmosphere

After an 11 day trip visiting the Spanish and French Basque region using the Abba San Sebastian as my base for 7 nights, I have to take the time to praise the team and management of Abba. Check-in was quick and efficient. Unfortunately, there is not enough staff to help transport bags to the room. The cozy room is on the small size but cozy enough to manage for sleep and refreshing. The room and bath are both modern, clean and somewhat luxurious. The entire hotel only opened in 2020. The breakfast was fresh, more than adequate in terms of selections and the same every day. The staff both the very capable Julian and the always-smiling female attendant (I forgot her name unfortunately) were always attending to guests, clearing plates, refreshing selections at the counter and more. The location of the hotel is within walking distance of all in San Sebastian. Be sure to engage the best bartender in the Basque, Sergio. Order his own creation which is a hard liquor infused Sangria. Wow! I highly recommend a stay at the Abba. Would I stay here again? Yes, absolutely.

The hotel is in a good location, a little far from the sea, a 20-minute walk, San Sebastian is a small city, and you can walk anywhere. The city is clean and the food is rich. If you eat more dinner at eight in the evening, you can find a restaurant with a lot of people, no matter the size, luxurious decoration or not, it's not wrong. Breakfast is average and full, there is no special recommendation. Children can be brought, but children over three years old will be charged extra, regardless of whether an extra bed is added.

Positive - The staff worked very hard to engage and make your stay pleasant. Helpful and responsive to feedback. Negatives - Location is odd. While walkable to the main attractions, it can be quite a walk and if the weather was bad too long. There are taxis and you could learn the bus system but its a long 20 minutes vs a short 20 minutes. Mattress uncomfortably hard. Bathroom has all sorts of design flaws that lead to wet counters and sinks that don’t really drain. If the key isnt in the slot there is no water. The worst part. Each evening my room smelled of stale tobacco. Not sure if wafting in from outside smokers, apartment building next door, or the aircon venting system but each night I fell asleep to stale smoke. Cool enough to open windows but then you hear noise and get smoke. By morning it wasnt there or during the day so I suspect the source is real and not my imagination. As far as roof deck, I had forgotten it existed. I did not see signs in room or elevator or comments from staff encouraging use so forgot. Maybe it would have been pleasant? I was on 4th floor and my view was the apartment building next door. Breakfast was OK and there is also a little a la cart coffee bar with breakfast sandwiches if you prefer to skip the buffet. If I visit again I would pay more to stay closer to old town or Gros. Didnt find the hotel comfortable or well situated. The staff do make an effort and I give 3 stars for that.

Lovely hotel, nicely furnished with pleasing colours. Very good service from all staff. Very spacious and comfortable rooms. Breakfast is great - a complete breakfast. Cleanliness is good. Food is good...a bit expensive and portions a bit small. Garage with direct access to hotel. Location is not very central, a 10 min walk uphill from the promenade. To reach the city centre/old town it takes about 25/30 mins on foot. However taxis arrive in 5 mins when called by reception. Recommended.

Quick Notes: Great Value The beach is a 7-10 minute walk Lots of close restaurants and bars The more quiet side of San Sebastián Outstanding Front Desk What a splendid hotel! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this NH, which felt like a perfect place to retire for the evening after a long day on the beach. My room was modern and spacious - and the room service was phenomenal. The front desk staff was particularly helpful whenever I had questions or needed help with something. This NH might also have one of best burgers in Spain. The restaurant downstairs was also phenomenal, and the cocktails were on point.

The hotel is super luxurious, the location is great, the hotel is very new, the room is large, the facilities are complete, the service is superb, the breakfast is great, in short, it is a superb travel experience
