Arabako Ibarrak Cheap Vacations

Very nice breakfast, fresh and good choices.

Excellent location on the other side of the bay. Within walking distance of the Combs of the Wind sculptures. Modern & clean amenities and spacious rooms. Definitely worthy as an option for a few nights' stay in San Sebastian if you are looking for a quieter neighbourhood

The host Blanca was very attentive and most helpful. The Villa was a short bus ride from the centre and the buses were every 10 minutes. The bed and bedding were fabulous and the breakfast a delight.The secure parking was a bonus.

We cant fault this hotel or its staff, everything was first class.

This Hotel is situated in a perfect spot in San Sebastián. The room we stayed in had gorgeous views of the water and the coastline. The Hotel staff were perfect—courteous, attentive and most respectful! I would definitely stay here again!

Hotel Akelarre We chose this hotel for one of the most important moments of our lives, as I proposed to my partner during our stay, so the bar was incredibly high. After researching many of the best 5-star hotels across Europe, Hotel Akelarre stood out immediately and exceeded every expectation. The setting is truly special. Located in the peaceful Igueldo countryside, you feel completely removed from the world, yet you are only a short drive from San Sebastián. Waking up to uninterrupted views over the Bay of Biscay, with nothing but birds and distant cowbells, is something we will never forget. The design is exceptional, with a beautiful modern and minimal style that blends seamlessly into the landscape. Every detail feels intentional, from the materials and lighting to the layout of the spaces. Our room was spacious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with a huge bed, luxurious bathroom, and breathtaking views. Breakfast was the best we have ever had, with high-quality local ingredients and excellent made-to-order dishes. The spa was also a highlight, offering a calm and relaxing space with incredible views. Service was warm, professional, and attentive throughout. A special thank you to Mikel for helping coordinate such an important moment for us. If I had one small note, it would be that cocktail options were slightly limited compared to the rest of the experience. Overall, this is a truly special hotel and perfect for a memorable stay or special occasion.

Great breakfast, fresh fruits, rolls and bread, nice selection of mains. Superior staff. Hotel car provided local transfers. 20 min walk old town. Would stay again. Of course, a Nobu restaurant w/ terrace views. Lovely.

The breakfast buffet was excellent but can get very busy. The bed was large and very comfortable.

Good location though took a little while to find the hotel as it’s not brilliantly signposted. But the staff and the rooms are nice. Quiet, and the bed is comfortable. Walkable along the river to the old town.
