Rooms & Suites

Hotel Sansebay offers 29 rooms and apartments in San Sebastián's Old Town, near Mount Urgull and La Concha Bay. Rooms include a 40-inch Smart TV with Netflix, free high-speed Wi-Fi, a minibar, and air conditioning. Beds feature 300-thread-count cotton sheets. Some rooms have sea views, while others overlook an interior patio. The largest option is a 43 m^2 suite with a king-size bed and a sofa bed. Apartments for up to 6 people include a kitchen, washing machine, and rain-effect showers.

Dining & Breakfast

A gourmet breakfast is served daily from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM, featuring fresh bread from Galparsoro bakery. Guests can enjoy healthy smoothies and homemade cheesecake. The hotel sources organic fruits and vegetables, prioritizing natural flavors. No full-service restaurant is on-site, but the Old Town's pintxo bars and restaurants are steps away.

Leisure & Wellness

La Perla Spa & Sports Center, a 5-minute walk away, offers seawater therapy and yoga classes. Nearby, La Concha Beach provides swimming and sunbathing. The hotel does not have a gym or pool, but staff can arrange guided tours to the Sagardoetxea Cider Museum or La Mota Castle.

Location & Transport

The hotel is in San Sebastián's Old Town, a 5-minute walk from La Concha Beach and Mount Urgull. The Renfe tram connects to nearby towns, and San Sebastián Airport is 20 km away. Taxis and buses are available for trips to the San Telmo Museum or Buen Pastor Cathedral.

Guest Services

Front desk assistance is available from 7 AM to 11 PM, with emergency after-hours contact. Services include laundry, babysitting (on request), and daily room cleaning. Private parking is available for an extra fee. Staff provide local tips, from pintxo bars to tide conditions at La Concha Bay.

“The loft-style accommodations are a refreshing change from typical hotels. I was struck by the emphasis on personalized service, and the location places you right in the heart of the action. The bay views and easy access to pintxo bars definitely make it an appealing choice for exploring San Sebastian.”
