Adult only hotel. What a concept and nice way to stay. Very nice sauna, steam room and rooftop pool with massage options and free bubbly at the pool! Very helpful staff and close to downtown with access to lots of tourist attractions and the beach, but also far about away that it isn't in high traffic areas. Great price. Also fun "adult" features included in the room

An absolutely gorgeous hotel a short stroll away from Old Town. The rooms are so unique and beautiful and comfortable, the staff so helpful and nice and the pool is perfect to chill around for hot days. Would also recommend the breakfast, we had it a few times Nd it was really tasty and well thought out. It definitely feels like a super inclusive space. Will definitely be back when next in San Sebastian.
