Hotel Atari

"Lodging is expensive in San Sebastian. When we booked, knowing the central location and the noise and crowds, we were unsure what awaited us, but happy to say we were quite pleasantly surprised by the hotel. It was decent value by comparison, very clean, and stylish. We had a balcony room that was quite when windows were closed. The is a lift, and we we're offered a complementary white wine during our stay. Can't say enough positive about Hotel Atari!"

"Hotel Atari is in the heart of the old town. Be warned, taxi's etc, can't get to the hotel, so it's a very short walk from where they drop you off, however there are some stairs to navigate if you have heavy or a lot of luggage. Being in the centre of the old town makes for easy exploring and the best pintxos, food and wine at your fingertips. Easy walk to La Concha beach and to the other side of the city, Gros and Zurriola beach as another swimming option (move waves here). San Sebastian is easy to get around, mostly flat walking and an absolute delight. Bed was hard but very comfortable, pillows terrible. Room was a reasonable size and not as pokey as other European bathrooms, nice big shower. Breakfast was included and has ala carte options. A free glass of wine each night is also a bonus. The terrance has a cute outlook but no coverage from the sun so hot during the day, just some chairs and not much else. Would stay here again."

"A great choice! The location is pretty-much unbeatable, right on the steps of the Basílica de Santa María del Coro. From here, it was easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. However, taxis cannot pull up outside the hotel, and so you need to walk with luggage for 5 or 6 minutes from the taxi rank. The reception area is tiny, and easy to miss. But the staff were delightful and very helpful. We had room 401, which was apparently where Robert Plant stayed at some point in 2023! It was very large, although a little soulless. The view of the basilica, though, is wonderful. The bed was very comfortable and everything functioned as it should. The shower was good. Breakfast was good, and I liked the fact that we were served at the table rather than having the ubiquitous buffet. However, service was slow on the busier mornings. I'd certainly stay here again."
