"Clean and convenient location for an earlier morning flight. The free air airport transfer was an added bonus."

Axel Hotel San Sebastián - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel, new and clean with a great and very helpful staff. Very walkable but a bit out of the way for the beaches. Very close to the rail station. Food choices are close by but they get better as you walk into town a bit. Nice hot tub in the lower level, steam and sauna are there as well. The pool is small but adequate and nicely situated on the roof of the hotel."

The free laundry allowed us to catch up on our washing on a 6 week tour of France & Spain. Some reviews seem to focus on the 30 minute walk to the old town. We took the 10 minute bus ride from behind the hotel for 1.9 euro everyday. Just tap on with your credit card. Breakfast looked good but we never tried. Gym was well fitted out and rooms quiet."
