Col du Pourtalet

Nice and new rooms, excellent shower and close to Donostia-San Sebastian

Overall a wonderful stay

It says that Reale Arena is an 8 min drive...10.7 km. Sounds easy, no big deal by cab right? Wrong!!!! Oiartzun uses a whole different cab company than San Sebastian. There is nothing else near this hotel for taxis to have reason to go there. I don't care what Rome2rio says about cab fare...but every single trip was 27 euros each way from/to San Sebastian. This is NOT a good choice for a stay if you are going to a concert at Reale Arena. We had to wait almost 2 hours for a taxi at the stadium to take us to Oiartzun after the concert. Also there is only one garbage can in the room, in the bathroom, and there is not enough lighting in the room. It was clean and very, very basic. More basic than even Motel 6. There was a safe and a small refrigerator, so that was nice. There was no coffee maker in the room and this led to a long, long line at the fancy coffee maker at breakfast. The staff was also really young and I didn't feel like they were going to pay attention to if anyone was going to try to mess with our stored luggage. They just didn't seem to be very aware. The front desk staff also had to deal with restocking the buffet...during the whole visit the place seemed short staffed.
