When I arrived at the hotel, the views from my room faced the carpark and street, which wasn't made clear during booking. While the rooms were stylish, they felt a bit cramped, especially with the warm weather making it uncomfortable due to the air conditioning being off for the winter. Additionally, the numerous room light switches with intricate on-off sequences were a bit confusing.

The rooms had a view of the street and car parking, which was different from what I expected. They were stylish but quite small and too warm due to the air conditioning being off for winter. The many room light switches had complicated on-off sequencing.

I had a splendid time at this hotel, surrounded by the forest and a lovely swimming pool. The rooms were impeccable, offering every convenience one could wish for, and the attention to detail was remarkable, especially the super comfortable bed. However, the location, while beautiful, was slightly out of town, which had its charm but also meant it was not as convenient. The service was top-notch, with staff being incredibly welcoming and taking the time to chat with us about the delicious food we ordered.

The hotel is nestled amongst the woodland just outside of San Sebastián, offering a peaceful and beautiful setting. The rooms are equipped with all the amenities you could wish for, ensuring comfort and cleanliness. The dining experience could be improved, but the breakfast is perfect with designated time slots. Overall, a favorite place to stay in the area.

The service was good overall, although it took a bit of time to get a room despite being the only guests checking in. They asked us to move from a table on the terrace, which was a bit odd, but they provided decent service.

Location

The location is stunning, set in the forest just outside San Sebastián. While it requires a bus to reach the city center and there are no restaurants within walking distance, having a car makes it a comfortable option. It's a great spot to be when in the area or passing through.

The dining options could be significantly improved for the price, especially regarding pool and room service food. However, the attention to every detail in breakfast, including whole wheat bread rolls and designated time slots, was appreciated.

The hotel is ideally located next to a forest, ensuring a peaceful stay away from unpleasant odors. The rooms were clean, spacious, and boasted comfortable beds at a lower level. The service, though initially lacking, improved significantly with the assistance of one attentive staff member. The location, especially convenient for car owners near the motorway, did have some minor drawbacks like occasional odors and a requirement for transport. The dining experience, while nice, was marred by high prices and limited early morning options. Facilities were adequate, with underground parking enhancing the overall experience.
