Sierras de Aralar y Urbasa hotel rooms a the Independent

"Great location, spacious rooms, friendly staff!"

"This is quiet, luxurious hotel. The staff was excellent and very helpful. The room was lovely, the bath a spa level experience. The restaurant on site offered a lovely meal of the day lunch/arly dinner menu. There is a fine dining restaurant that we did not have time to try, but plan ahead for reservations. The rooftop pool is sizable and pleasant with towels and a small bar available for drinks. We were in the middle of a 12 day trip and needed to do some laundry and had access to the condo building attached to do that. It was very much appreciated. The hotel sits on traffic circle on the bus line. Pleasant, clean buses with a practical schedule made it easy to get in and out of town without taxi's and Ubers. 10-12 min ride into town. We attended a concert at the Reale stadium and took the bus in but walked back. It was about 2 miles and slightly up hill but large group of the crowd was doing the same so it was enjoyable late in the evening when there was little other traffic. We could have waited for a bus but chose not to. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for quiet luxury away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy area in town. "

"Had a beautiful view of the bay/ocean. Great central location as well. "

"The hotel is in one of the best spot for a view of the beach, mountains and to a lesser extent part of the city. It situated at the top mountain, don’t bother trying to walk up and down the mountain regularly as it’s about a 40 minute. Drive, taxi or take the funicular train up and get discount as you’ll be a resident of the hotel. There is a number 16 bus that we did not try. The hotel bar food was good enough. The outside bar lounge was great for day views and sunset. We had misty night where we in the clouds and could not see a thing but was one of those funny moments. Hotel staff help us phone and communicate in Spanish when our car had a puncture and had to get it recovered. We had a see view room with a small balcony which was lovely. Note that this hotel shares the same ground as the small amusement park that gets plenty of visitors as we could see them posing for the best photo spot in San Sebastián in my opinion. Note once you get to the bottom of the mountain it’s about a 30-45 minute walk to the old town. We did not try the hotel restaurant or pool as we’re at the beach and old town every day. The non-smart tv had the back enclosed so we couldn’t connect a iPad or laptop to it."

"Wonderful experience "

"Staff was incredibly helpful. They even lended us a wheelchair to use free of charge. The property is in a beautiful and safe area. 6 minute walk to the beach, 15 minute direct bus ride to the famous 31 de agosto, and a 15 minute walk to the funicular. "

"Hotel was great! staff very friendly. Walking distance from the beach. Room was spacious and always clean."

"Perfect place, easy way to the center via a 10 minutes bus, really good breakfast "

"Very spacious rooms. Amazing breakfast. Wondering staff. Will come back. "
