3 Stars Hotels in Basque Country, Spain

We enjoyed our room which had a balcony although no seating. We did not notice noise from the busy street. The breakfast room had a lovely buffet and the bar area was cosy and enjoyable. Front desk staff were helpful in locating restaurants and showing us where everything was on a map. Our only downside was the parking stall designated to us was very, very tight for our rental vehicle. Overall we enjoyed the hotel.

Super room. Very comfortable bed. Very clean. Perfect bathroom. Free hot drinks distributor advantage . Nickel isolation you do not hear the noise of the road. Only small bemol the parking is still full. Not easy to parking.

We chose this hotel for our express exit to Donosti in accommodation and breakfast and we loved it! The room is very beautiful, modern, well equipped, the comfortable beds, a very chill-glass shower, the very soft and absorbent towels, hair dryer ”real” (not the powerless tube that usually offers other hotels), The hotel is located in the heart of the city centre, and the hotel is located in the heart of the city centre. The room was very comfortable and the room was very comfortable. The coffee shop despite being capsules offers a very rich coffee without being the ”aguachirri” you usually find in hotels. Personally we loved it. We were left two posts and a welcome note with a bottle of water. We recommend it and if We'll return to Donosti without doubt to repeat.

Very good apartment except stress at the beginning when the registration was a little complicated especially that we were too tired after having passed hundreds of kilometres and thought that to go to bed

Location is about 15 to 20 minutes from the center. I was a little worried about security as it was far from the center, but there was nothing in particular. It may be better not to be too late for a woman alone. The room was large and clean and easy to spend. Towels, hair dryers and hair body wash are provided. Since it is not separated as a shower room, I am prepared to be bishabisha in that area. There is a TV, but there is no refrigerator. The bed was too soft and not too hard and I was easy to sleep ◎ The response of the front desk was also good!

The Bilbao Holiday Inn Express had helpful, friendly staff and great checkin. The room and bed and pillows were better than I expected. But in the morning I found bites on my faces and hands. They may have been from a spider, but for sure they came from a pest. I was there to deliver a presentation at a conference. I itched, and the swelling was obvious. I hope the management sprayed that hotel. I complained to a nice staffer at the desk. I said, their ad promised to make things right if the hotel was not clean. No, there was no compensation. I might try this hotel again. But I am bringing DEET to spray it first. Bilbao is a lovely city.

A lovely hotel close the airport in a small town with a couple of bars. The bus stops directly outside for the 15 min ride into Bilbao. My room was a double and it was very comfortable. The aircon didn't work so it was pretty hot. I was with two friends and only one of us had Aircon. The single room. The hotel had a bar but no restaurant you could only have very basic pizzas. It's good value if you want to stay near the airport or be close to Bilbao without the extortionate hotel prices there.

The hotel is well situated with lots of bars and restaurants around. Our room was very comfortable and clean. For the price the breakfast was disappointing. We would have expected a selection of peeled and cut up fresh fruit and a kitchen which cooked eggs freshly to order. In all the other hotels we stayed in during our trip in Spain a choice of eggs was available as were platters of fruit.

I stayed at the Sercotel Hotel in Barcelona last year, so I chose the Sercotel Hotel in San Sebastian this time. The location was very convenient as it was within walking distance from the San Sebastian bus terminal, and it was also convenient for sightseeing and about a 10 minute walk to the old town. (Concha Bay is also nearby! Perfect for getting up early in the morning and walking.) It's quiet because it doesn't face the main road. The hotel is an old building, so it can't be helped, but the sound of doors opening and footsteps from the next room could be heard quite a bit. Also, the floor was tilted (lol) The room itself was clean and comfortable. There was no free bottled water or amenities (toothbrushes, gowns, brushes, slippers, etc.). The hot water and water pressure in the shower were good. The bathtub was filled with hot water quickly. I didn't eat breakfast, but it seemed like you could eat it on the same day for around 14€. This is a hotel I would like to stay at again when I come to San Sebastian again.

We stayed one night in this hotel on the way to the Ferry to Ireland. There is secure underground parking (at extra cost) which we found useful. However, we were disappointed when, having arrived at 3.45 pm in Bilbao after an 8 hour drive in 30 degrees+ we were told that there was no facility for any drinks or refreshments in the Hotel and that such facilities would not be available until 7.30pm. We were further disappointed to find that when we came for breakfast the following morning, there was no coffee, bread or other basic food. We had to ask a member of staff to obtain some basic provisions for breakfast which seemed to confuse him. We noticed that at least four other guests who came after us also had little to eat. We gained the impression (right or wrong) that the hotel is not geared to accommodating foreign guests as after an initial early breakfast rush there seemed little interest in guests coming later. We particularly noted the lack of staff on the ground and everything seemed to be the responsibility of one staff member.

The location is good if you have a car, is not close (walking distance) to the city, but at the same time really good location. Service is just fantastic, everyone was nice with us and welling to help if we asked for something. the Snack bar (cafeteria) staff is the best of the best, as well as the housekeeping staff. The only bad thing was the AC, we have no idea if it was ”warm” because the new ordinance or because something else, but unfortunately the hotel's location is so close to a highway, the room was quiet and good, but we try to sleep a little bit cooler, and with the window open was just imposible

Wonderful hotel in a great location. Staff were extremely friendly and our room was upgraded to one of those on the top floor. Huge, with great views and extremely comfortable. Make sure you follow the directions you are sent if you are driving. Other wise you risk getting lost or stuck!

The hotel is very clean, well located, and used by tour groups at times as it us quite large. Reception was very professional and spoke good English. They recommended free street parking 5 mins walk ( Oct 1 - May 31) which was great for us staying in October. There are 2 lifts. The room was very large as we got allocated a 2 bedroom suite, but all rooms are a good size. It is traditional decor, nice polished wooden floors. The Wi-fi wasn’t great. Would say bed/ mattresses need an upgrade. Breakfast was adequate, quality could be better although it was very acceptable for price paid.

We are going on tourism in inland Gipuzkoa. The hotel is very good, the staff is perfect and since we were tired of the 650 kilometers we stayed for dinner and it was a meal very well deserving of a 9. Why I didn't put EXCELLENT = It's a bit complicated to find it and if you add that THERE IS NO NOT ONE LIT SIGN even more... because we passed by 5 times without seeing it. Lastly, thanks to Ms. Edurne (I think it was her or Ms. Arantxa) who didn't guide us on her mobile and waited for us at the door. It was very kind and unusual to find such a person. If they turn on the light I will recommend it, many times even more. Only one small fault, the breakfast is very fair in terms of assortment. In any case, thank you very much and if you come here again, we will surely visit you again. Thank you, you made our evening very pleasant. Regards Pep

We asked for a quiet room and got one facing a big shop's delivery bay so lots of scraping metal, loud noises early in the morning. One night there was a noisy pop-up bar in the same street. Guests coming in late at night are like a stampede. Even with earplugs it was very audible. You can hear everthing, no soundproofing at all. The so called luxury double room at a whopping 189€ per night not including breakfasts is smallish and worse for wear and tear especially the small bathroom. The water leaked from the toilet, the hook on which the hairdryer was hung up, broke off one night. It fell to the ground and woke us up. You have to pay at arrival and not traditionally when you check out...now we know why. On the plus side: friendly staff, rather clean and good location. But Donostia is small and very easy to walk around so most places are well located. Maybe it's because we're a bit older (fifties/sixties) that we are more sensitive to these things but it also means we've stayed at much better places at this price. In Bilbao we stayed in a very good, quiet 4 star hotel in the city centre at less than in La Perla so I would suggest you stay in Bilbao and take the bus to San Sebastian at 14€ for a 75 minute ride and save money for a much better and cheaper accommodation in Bilbao.

Cristina Enea Rooms is located in a great neighbourhood and it’s right next to the Tabakalera cultural centre. When you come out of the bus station, look up. The Brutalist skyscraper is where you’re headed but don’t be put off by the exterior - inside it is bright and airy. Currently, due to station works, you must cross the tracks via a red pedestrian bridge. That basically takes you to one of the three possible entrances to the accommodation. Ricardo at reception was welcoming and super-helpful and seemed to be there most days from 10-6. The manual code worked a charm for building entry the first time as did the swipe card thereafter. As for the rooms, I liken this to a fancy hostel with rooms coming off a central kitchenette/lounge area. This is fine if your fellow guests are quiet during quiet hours (10pm-8am) but if not… Yes the walls between the rooms are very soundproof - no voices or even water pipes. The room doors, however, are heavy and most people don’t turn the handle so they bang loudly. Also, noise easily escapes under the doors of other rooms (crying babies, folks talking loudly after a big night). There’s so much to like about Cristina Enea Rooms - the location, very comfortable beds and pillows, great storage - but when the number one purpose of accommodation is to get a good night’s sleep then I’m not sure I can recommend…

I really loved my stay at Hotel Niza. The hotel is simple but wonderfully located, clean, well renovated, and has lots of charm. The hotel is one of the best placed in San Sebastian, right on the Conxa beach and within walking distance of all central attractions. I booked a sea view room and the views are spectacular and I loved it. One thing to note is that sea view rooms do NOT have air conditioning unlike square facing rooms and even in early June, mine got very hot. The hotel can provide you with a small fan (though I'm glad I asked as noone had mentioned it to me!), and as someone who doesn't use air conditioning at home myself, I was absolutely happy to have the view at the cost of a bit of warmth, but I suspect that many people (not least those visiting from parts of the world where air conditioning is ubiquitous) might prefer to take a room overlooking the back (also pleasant though not as much as sea views in my opinion) particularly in spring and summer months to have a fresher environment. I read lots of reviews complaining about the lift - I found it great myself. It works perfectly well as long as you do what you are told and close all the doors, and it is full of charm (and I was thankful for it given my 6th floor room!) The room was very clean, shower room well renovated, and bed comfortable. In my views, apart from systematically putting fans in sea view rooms, what would improve the rooms further would be a mini fridge (when it's warm it would be nice to be able to keep water cold!) and coffee facilities in the rooms or at least in the reception area. Still, I liked the hotel a lot and will certainly use it again when returning to beautiful Donostia!

Visited here last month and just wanted to state how good the hotel was and more importantly, we couldn’t speak highly enough of the staff. The town is less than 10 minutes walk from the hotel - the route is fairly steep but manageable. Would not hesitate to use this hotel for our base once again. Good breakfast for a reasonable price and also free parking which comes in handy.

This hotel is in an excellent location to enjoy the entire city. Everything one would want to visit is within a 15 minute walk from the hotel. We booked a suite, which had a lovely view of the city with a terrace and chairs to relax. The bed was very comfortable. We loved our stay here, however, what made our stay even more memorable was the incredible staff we met during our 4 night stay. Breakfast was excellent and we had the pleasure of talking with Arrancha, who managed the breakfast area. She made a chocolate cheesecake that was excellent for breakfast. She even took the time to write down some areas of town to explore. Everyone at the front desk could not be more helpful or friendly. We will stay here on our next visit....you should, too!!!

We enjoyed our room which had a balcony although no seating. We did not notice noise from the busy street. The breakfast room had a lovely buffet and the bar area was cosy and enjoyable. Front desk staff were helpful in locating restaurants and showing us where everything was on a map. Our only downside was the parking stall designated to us was very, very tight for our rental vehicle. Overall we enjoyed the hotel.

Very good apartment except stress at the beginning when the registration was a little complicated especially that we were too tired after having passed hundreds of kilometres and thought that to go to bed

For one night nothing more. There is no closet, only a few uncomfortable stains in a wall. The bed is fine. The bathroom is fine but the washing room is small and uncomfortable. Good view from the window. Parking costs € 10 but there are parks near free. We arrived at night with reservation, very tired, and we had to wait 10 minutes to get everything on the computer. We finally allocated a room and when we opened ... it was used and we had to get down to ask another.

Very clean, very quiet, easy access and easy to park for free around. I stayed only one night but if I had to come back I would choose again Kora living. Walking distance from vibrant city center. Welcoming staff, all facilities you need for a good stay, even a pool on the rooftop.

This hotel was nice and clean, with pleasant and professional staff working at the front desk. It was especially helpful to have multilingual clerks to help us when our Spanish wasn't good enough. We enjoyed the option to have drinks at the hotel bar. The convenience of the restaurant across the parking lot was such a blessing for us. The food was delicious, and the service was efficient and quick.

In the heart of LaGuardia, this was our favorite hotel on our trip thru La Rioja. Cleanliness, attention to detail, welcoming & friendliness made this stay an excellent experience. The room was very spacious & clean! The dining experience excellent both for breakfast & dinner. Our meals were well prepared and exactly how we ordered it. Definitely a place for us to revisit! Muchas Gracias to all the people at the hotel. Oscar y Lorena :-)
