Top Old Town San Sebastián Hotel Reviews

Hotel Atari

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is amazing, looks recently refurbished. Breakfast is incredible, lots of local options and additional options for order. The restaurant attached to the hotel was also really popular and we would highly recommend. The staff are super friendly and really helpful, from the offer of the welcome drinks, booking our return bus tickets to always being available to help with any request. The location is spot on if you’re planning on going to San Sebastián for the Pintxos, right in the heart of the old town. Loved it!"
