We stayed in the duplex, and it is literally a dream of a room. I could not love this room more and the skylights make it so unique. The wood-burning fireplace was perfect on a rainy day. The hotel is perfectly located and the staff is so lovely. I will never stay anywhere else in San Sebastian.

I LOVE San Sebastián. The hotel's restaraurant and the staff, from the front desk, to the bellmen, to the restaurant were OUTSTANDING! Helpful, kind, and proud of their city.
Two shortcomings, the Hotel's "gym" was below ground, and smelled it. It was small, and very humid and warm.
My loft room had a greatv view of the cathedral, but the window was tiny, and no balcony, which I had requested.

Beautiful boutique hotel with amazing staff that were extremely friendly and attentive. Hotel Arbaso is conveniently situated 10 minutes (walk) from Old Towne. The cathedral views from the Premium Room in particular were amazing. The decor and amenities in the room (bidet, his and hers sink, Marshall bluetooth speaker) were very well thought out. I especially loved the shower.
10/10 will stay again next time I'm in San Sebastian.
I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were warm, welcoming, and very accommodating, and the hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. I also appreciated the excellent room service from the fantastic hotel restaurant. The location was perfect — close to many shops and restaurants, yet still quiet and peaceful inside the room despite nearby street traffic. I’d be happy to stay here again if I return to San Sebastián.
