Barrundia Holidays

Great location if your are travelling about in a car. Looked like plenty of bus services but I didn’t use this. I was travelling back and forth to Irun so perfect for me. The room has great cooking facilities, bed was comfy, very updated look and shower was nice and powerful. The gym facilities were basic but good for a quick cardio or stretching session Cleaning facilities I looked to use them but my card didn’t work, 5-6€ per wash or dryer.

Checking was tru WhatsApp, not lobby on premises

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.

Generally this was a good stay. The neighbourhood is nice with local cafes and bars which are a bit less expensive than the ones in town. It’s not my first time in San Sebastián and for the price this is better qualify than the places in centre of town - room was spotless and products in bathroom great. It’s honestly not that far - 20 minutes walk from the main station or half an hour into the old town via a nice park. Feels like a safe area - there’s a big aldi close by. Gym was great. Rooftop pool also great perk. The staff are a mix - the guy who checked me in was great but some of the others did give off a bit of a ‘why are you asking that’ vibe, as if you’re bothering the hipsters with your old person questions. Also the coffee bags in the room were a faff but maybe that’s because there were only small glasses not cups so the drip effect didn’t work. I also get that it seems to be student accommodation maybe on some of the floors but perhaps clarity should be given when booking on which spaces are for short term guests and which are not in terms of coworking and communal kitchen etc . Breakfast is expensive for a continental but good quality.

Breakfast was great!
