This is a lovely hotel but it’s essentially in the middle of a suburban office park area. It made a good home base for exploring the Basque Countryside but if you want San Sebastián this isn’t it.

We had the most wonderful stay here. I was a little worried it wouldn’t be kid friendly but it was great. It’s quite it’s certainly not a kids running around noisily place but they are very welcome. It’s about 10-15 min from centre and beach, we drove and used the bus which was super easy and cheap. The hotel location is beside a beautiful forest that has nice walking / running trail. Breakfast was great and everything was so affordable, hotels so often over charge but drinks at the pool were no more that anywhere else. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Area around lost 1 star simple because it’s a business area with not much to do but the bus makes this no issue.

Great medium sized establishment in the forest area just outside central San Seb. Taxi or bus required for getting into town. Really helpful staff and great service recieved in all areas. They were difficult to contact via Expedia but fine via email and face to face. We had a junior suite which was large and modern. If being very picky we had some very slight wear and tear in our room, and a rogue hair in our shower cubicle, that I hope maintenance keep on top of as the ambiance of the hotel and spa has a lovely spacious and calm vibe. Nothing detracted from the experience, but with such a modern establishment any blemish however small will be more apparent. Decent restaurant and relaxing spa. Gym was well stocked and clean. Hotel car park is underground, clean and secure from the street though can be accessed via the lobby. Very late at night you may have a wait for a taxi to return from town. We would definitely stay here again away from the busy city centre, especially if driving to San Sebastian.

Thank you for a lovely stay at Arima. The parking was very easy and €10 beneath the hotel in the underground car park. Check-in staff friendly and the guest services gentleman was incredibly helpful even booking us an evening meal reservation in the town. Wonderful service. The bus into town runs every 10 min from outside the hotel. Room very clean and eco-friendly. Plenty of complementary toiletries to use for the stay. Roof top pool amazing although the water was far too cold to swim in it with a child unfortunately. Hospital just around the corner. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Modern hotel
Perfect hotel for a few days in San Sebastián. Great modern design. Easy access to the centre via local bus, nice to leave the car behind (under ground parking with charging points). Rooms are small but well thought out with attractive decor nice big mirrors and great showers. Breakfast was good but often busy with hard working staff rushing to keep up, perhaps they need one more staff member to help them out. The spa is good although we were unable to book a massage, maybe we should have booked in advance for this. The roof top pool is also lovely for chilling out. Lovely wooded walk to rear of hotel. Don’t miss the Chillida Leku sculpture park 5 mins drive away. Only complaint would be the odd bedding system with open ended pillow cases and sheets rather than duvet covers. A suggestion would be to serve snacks and light meals in the rooftop pool area along with drinks. Noemi Heinrich is an outstanding member of staff, extremely helpful, thank you

Sustainable Lodging with Superb Services
Superb! We selected this hotel for its mindful sustainability practice in every area of its property and services - from the building itself, its energy sourcing, waste management and to food services, ALL of it. Truly an oasis on the hill away from the hustle bustle of the town. It really is a quiet retreat and I will be sure to return!
