⚠️ Buyers Beware – This is NOT a hotel, it’s a scam disguised as one ⚠️ I honestly cannot believe this place is being marketed as a proper hotel. What they’ve done here is taken an old building, thrown in some basic furniture, and started charging hotel rates without actually providing anything close to the quality or comfort you’d reasonably expect. It is completely misleading, and people need to know what they’re walking into. Here’s what you don’t get when you stay here: 1. Sound insulation – non-existent. You can hear absolutely everything around you. Footsteps above, conversations next door, furniture being moved, toilets flushing, doors slamming, even people breathing. Nothing is private, and nothing is quiet. 2. Thermal insulation – missing. The building doesn’t regulate temperature at all. The rooms are stuffy and uncomfortable, with no proper climate control, making it impossible to rest properly. 3. Security – questionable at best. The doors are flimsy, the locks feel cheap, and I never once felt like my belongings were secure. 4. Comfort – forget it. The beds are truly shocking: lumpy, rock-hard, and impossible to sleep on. I’ve stayed in budget hostels that had better mattresses than this. We stayed for 4 nights, and each one was a disaster. Here’s what we experienced on a nightly basis: • Constant noise from above: Guests walking around until 3am every single night. Every step echoed straight into our room like they were in there with us. • Street and fast-food noise: There’s a Burger King right below the building. It doesn’t close until midnight, so you hear customers, loud voices, chairs scraping, and then staff cleaning up long after closing. Just when you think it’s over, at 6am sharp a delivery truck would park outside and unload for over an hour. The walls and windows might as well not exist – it all comes straight through. • Internal chaos: Because there’s no soundproofing inside either, we could hear everything from the neighbouring rooms. One night, the person next door was vomiting until 3am. Every sound was crystal clear – retching, coughing, stumbling – and the stench seeped into our room. When we complained and asked to be moved, the staff brushed us off with, “He’s checking out tomorrow, don’t worry.” As if that solved anything. The result? Four of the worst nights of sleep I’ve ever had in my life. I travel a lot, and I’ve never encountered anything this bad, especially at this price point. This is not what you expect when booking a hotel in Europe – it’s more like staying in a rundown hostel above a fast-food joint on a noisy street corner. And here’s the kicker: they charge as if this is a proper hotel. It’s not. It’s misleading, it’s dishonest, and it’s a complete rip-off. Do yourself a favour and avoid this place at all costs. If you value sleep, comfort, safety, or even basic respect as a guest, this is absolutely not the place for you. I will be formally requesting a refund because what we were sold is not what was delivered. You are not getting a hotel here – you are being scammed
Very responsible host. Not a big hotel there's no need of reception. Air-condition works perfectly, sound proof is good at night, beautiful interior with leather taste. For San Sebastian I think this standard is 8/10. Perfect location spacious, clean. Would definately come back again
DO NOT BOOK. Price is OK for a 2 star hotel. Rooms are clean. Main issues: 1. Actually a 2 star hotel instead of a 4 star hotel. Incorrect information shown on google. 2. Hot water seems to be shared centrally among everyone and runs out within 5-10 minutes of showering. Need to wait before hot water is replenished. 3. During our stay there, there was a power issue twice in the building where we were locked out until a neighbour opened the door. 4. View was fully blocked by construction which was not stated on the website.
I loved my stay here, rooms are clean and spacious, great location and great view. Stuff was very nice.
We stayed in the deluxe room. Location is perfect, comfortable bed and a lovely bathroom with great water pressure. Checking in was easy and we were offered a late checkout which was a nice perk, mini bar was free as well
