The hotel is charming and located in an excellent part of town, with transit to the airport just outside the door. The rooms are modern and comfortable, and the hotel is very clean. The staff is lovely!! Silvie at the front desk was always warm, friendly and very helpful!!! There are nearby restaurants and a nice bakery, but the central part of town is just a short walk! The WiFi worked well. Don’t hesitate to stay here!

The moment we arrived, the lady on reception was incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful, and this level of service continued from all staff until we checked out. Great decor throughout the hotel and it was very conveniently located so we could walk to restaurants and bars. We would definitely stay here again.

Allowed to check in super early which was much appreciated after a very early flight. Went straight to breakfast which was still on - great value and gorgeous. Proper orange juicer, boiled egg machine, fresh raspberries/blueberries & lovely pastries. No 11 bus from airport (€1.30) stops at St Charles le Marne stop just around the corner. You get back on for the airport at the stop just 1 min walk up street St Charles Victoria (one way system). 3 day bus ticket is just €8.60). Beach is end of street 3 minute walk. Shops are 10 min walk same direction then turn left. Room was small but fine. Good quality towels/toilet roll & rictuals shower gel/ shampoo & handwash. If you don't get room cleaned first day you get token for free soft drink/glass of wine - great value/idea. Windows opened fully which was great & air con heated room perfectly when needed (April stay). Sky News & BBC News on telly plus Netflix & ability to cast. Let us keep room on till 3pm last day for free as flight was later. Can't recommend hotel enough. Free sweets in jars in foyers and large umbrellas for use. Really friendly staff. On a quiet street with beautiful houses. Carrefour express & little bakery/chemist & pub just behind hotel, out front door & turn left, turn left just before bus stop opposite church. Walk up past Charlie's pub and swing left. Can't recommend enough! Get airport bus back & get Flix or Blabla car coach to San Sebastián from airport for day trip.

This hotel is only a short walk from Grande Plage but in a nice quiet location. We were there in a heatwave but the air conditioning kept us cool and comfortable. A selection of teas were provided in the room. Good restaurants nearby.

The staff was amazing & went out of their way. The location is perfect. The room was very small & beds not so comfortable. Could use updating. There was no electrical outlet on my side of the bed so I had to sleep with my head at the foot of the bed to plug in my CPAP machine.

I loved the hotel and location. The room was nice and clean. I was not very happy with the staff when it came to helping with parking information. We arrived at about 9pm after driving for about 10 hours and the gentleman at the reception said that the parking was completely full. I asked him where we could park and he did not know. Finally, we were lucky enough to find parking on the street which was free until 9am. He stated that parking was free from 9-10am. After that we needed to put money in the meter. Next morning a female was in the reception area and I asked her if there was any parking available since many people leave early, she also said no. I asked her about parking and she said she did not know you would think that the hotel would know where to refer their clients if they do not have parking. Finally, we found parking on our own, very inexpensive and around the corner from the hotel. The parking that we had used the previous night not only they charged for the 9-10am parking but they were asking for 35 euros for 2.5 hours. Ridiculous!
