Incredible views from this hotel atop Monte Igueldo.
Breakfast and bar were very good.
If you're planning to use the funicular to get to/from town, know that its last run is at 8:30pm.

Amazing views of San Sebastián! Great pool and rooms very clean!
Amazing view – totally worth it! The room was a bit dusty on arrival, but otherwise clean and comfortable. Room facilities were excellent and well-maintained. Breakfast was nice, though the hot food and dinner options felt a bit limited, especially for international guests. Overall, a great stay with stunning scenery!
Great place location location, get there early for parking though since theme park shares parking with hotel, great white cloth dining, very clean and modern.
Beautiful hotel in prime view location with very nicely decorated rooms. Due to good weather they kept the pool open during our stay. Phenomenal views and quality loungers on the roof deck.
A few of the staff were a bit brusque and we waited a long time for service at the bar when we first arrived. Room soundproofing left something to be desired. Opportunity to enable making a cup of tea in room not just pod coffee. Breakfast buffet steep at EUR 24pp
Excellent stay at Mercure San Sebastián. Pick this hotel because it was a respite from city centers during our travels. It gave you an excellent resort feel. The views and panoramic location was gorgeous. It was quite difficult though to get down to the town as the pannicular does not start till 1030 and it ends at 8:30 so we needed to rely on taxis of which they took minimum of 10 to 15 minutes to get up to the hill and sometimes many people were waiting ahead of us. The walk down or up is on a very curved road with steep incline and little protection from cars, therefore we did not walk and the path was quite long. Otherwise, we are very happy with our stay.
The hotel is nice and in very nice area, beautiful views!!! Unfortunately it was pouring rain when we arrived and we were not admited to the restaurant for diner but sent to the bar to snack and pay fortune compare to the old city restaurants. Was not very happy with the stay
We did not realize there was an amusement park outside the hotel but the furnicular was an amazing bonus to help us get down into town. The views from the hotel are absolutely stunning and the pool deck is likely the most picturesque pool scene we have ever enjoyed!
Mercure San Sebastian Monte Igueldo has the best views of the town of San Sebastián imaginable. The staff was attentive to our needs and provided impeccable service.
Hotel sits on top of Mount Igueldo. Beautiful views. It is far from the beach so be prepared for a long walk if you want to go to the beach from the hotel. Nice breakfast but very expensive
We stayed at the hotel for six nights. The views from the hotel are just stunning and overall the hotel was well worth the money. In addition to the views, the facilities were good and the staff was friendly.

Loved the property! Loved the amusement park around the property and the views from our balcony were amazing. We will be back!
Do yourself a favor and get a room with a sea facing view. It's truly stunning. Staff was friendly and nice, not overly solicitous. You'll need transportation to get into to town, but the view is exquisite.
Loved this property, the view is breathtaking and the dinner was really good. There is an amusement park at the base of the hotel which would be really fun with small kids. There is also a tran type ride that will take you to the bottom of the hill where the beach is.
Downside: The front desk is a bit slow and not always attended.
Incredible hotel, view from our room were the best we've ever had. Spectacular meal at the restaurant, loved the art deco feel of the bar/lobby area. Staff were great.
Bed was not comfy - very very firm and felt old. Everything else about the hotel was worthy of five stars! But had trouble getting good sleep.
I was really disappointed with the quality and cleanliness of the room. White towels and bed sheets were marked and I had ask for the sheets to be changed bc there was brown staining all around the edge. I had to ask twice and it was only done after I showed the receptionist in person. The room and bathroom were very tired and need significant updating with marks all over the walls. The bathroom hadn’t been cleaned properly either as there were waxy make up marks in and around the sink which I tried to clean myself with some hand sanitizer. The pool area and and bar area were lovely and the views from the hotel were stunning. Sadly, neither of these made up for a dirty and tired room. Overall I expected better from a Mercure hotel.

Disliked: Staff & service
Great view but noisy, overpriced and getting old
The hotel has an amazing view but it is getting old. First you can hear almost everything from the other rooms. Walls are like cardboards. THAT is absolutely unacceptable at that price point. The pool was disgusting with hundreds (literally) of dead bugs in it. The restaurant, El Torreon, is extremely overpriced and the service is bad. The hotel has a lot of potential due to its location but it is not (no longer?) 4 stars. The pool needs to be cleaned more often and the guy responsible for it and for handing the towels should do his job and stop texting on his cell. The restaurant should be completely changed: better portions, better deserts, lower prices and better service. Definitely overpriced overall. But the view is great…
