Our stay in Axel Hotel San Sebastián was great! The hotel is located in a quiet area closeby to many cafes and shops and at short walking distance to the beach. The hotel's premises were clean and modern, and we had a spacious and comfortable room. We loved the spa access included during our stay, which was an amazing added value to our holidays. We would definitley repeat!

Nice relaxed and relatively sophisticated place. Was concerned could be a bit seedy but quite the opposite. Nice breakfast. Parking on site for 25 euros a night if space available. Close to centre and nice spa area free to use. We also liked the room layout

Place was very clean and reception was speedy. The rooms were very awkward to stay in for two days with large suitcases. No room at all to hang your clothes other than right over top the only area you could set up any kind of toiletries and was also purposed with bar snacks that were, all available for a premium charge. No room to place any toiletries at all. Place looks nice in pictures. Wouldn’t be our choice in the future. Parking garage available for a charge, very tight spaces.

The property inside was clean and nice. The room was an odd shape and there wasn't much space in the bathroom to keep your toiletries. There wasn't a closet and the hangers overhung the two small drawers and fridge. Just an odd configuration and not very convenient.

Staff was friendly and the decor and facilities looked to be in good shape. Unfortunately, our room had a foul smell coming from the shower (which also was prone to flooding). We had arrived too late in the evening and left the following morning, so only told the staff about it when checking out, so don't know if/how this has been resolved.

The facilities are very nice and most staff are extremely helpful. Rooms are well kept. I enjoyed my stay. The rooftop is very nice but the pool is not for swimming and is unheated. If you are looking for a pool to get your laps in then you will be unhappy. But if you just need to chill and soak, it is perfect and often there is a self-srrve sparkling wine bottle on deck. The gym and sauna facilities are noce. You have long (15-20) min walks to old town or Gros but minutes from a nice river walk and the bridges. Parking is limited so call try to book early and call the night before. If parking is full, there is a parking lot around the corner that you can book with the Telpark app and the staff can help you with that. The parking lot is a two minute walk but a 10 to 15 min drive in traffic.
