Hotel sits on top of Mount Igueldo. Beautiful views. It is far from the beach so be prepared for a long walk if you want to go to the beach from the hotel. Nice breakfast but very expensive
4.0 / 5.0
The location of the hotel is stunning (on top of a hill overlooking the Atlantic and the town) and the rooftop pool has great views. The inside bar and lounge is lovely with great views of the Atlantic. The views make it. Everything else was good. The restaurant is very good. The service was slow at times. Sometime there weren’t enough staff when the hotel was busy and you had to wait a long time and sometimes orders were very delayed or there were no clean tables at breakfast.
3.0 / 5.0
We only liked the view as the service was poor maybe due to the fact that the hotel was understaffed
3.0 / 5.0
All that glitters is not gold. Shower and ac good. Bed ok but defineately hard. Service - I've seen happier people at a funeral and staff per demand is low so both those are on management. Wifi weak and flakey. In room coffee ...instant coffee ....that is 2 star hotel stuff not to mention only 1 regular packet and not replaced. No iron or ironning board available. Just a litany of thing that keep this grand on the surface but less so underneath

We arrived to San Sebastián in the afternoon via the bus from Hendaye. We knew the hotel was on top of one of the flanking hills on either side of the crescent beach so was excited to get to the hotel and take in the view – like the pictures.
You can take the 16 bus which runs from end to end, we arrived at the base on the funicular that takes you up to the hotel and here is the first problem; you have to pay to go to your hotel. As a guest you get a concession rate of €3 per person return, it doesn’t sound like a lot but given there is nothing to do around the hotel as it’s on the far side of town you would soon spend €10 a day just getting up to your hotel a bus into town.
The second issue is that the hotel is on top of an old amusement park, luckily the weather was bad so it wasn’t busy but this itself is a tourist destination so if you just want to go to your room for a nap, you have to go up a funicular with a bunch of tourists who just want to go on the rollercoaster. The view from the room is nice, but to have your window open you can hear the sounds of kids in the amusement park below. It’s a very weird experience.
We arrived and even though we paid upfront for 4 days, I asked if we could cancel our stay before we checked in. Obviously, they wouldn’t refund us so we just grinned it and stayed for 2 nights.
The hotel is fine, it’s what a commercial chain hotel was back in the late 90s and hasn’t changed much since. It’s clean, facilities are old but nice enough.
2.5 / 5.0
Lovely hotel with amazing views over the ocean, the city and its beaches.
We ate in the dining room one night. The meal was delicious, and the service from the restaurant staff was excellent.
A long walk to the Old Town was worth the effort, although a bus service was available to the end of the road of the hotel.
A very enjoyable stay in San Sebastian which we would definitely return to.
Our only negative comment was regarding a lack of coffee in the room, just 2 sachets, and no creamer, but just a small gripe.

The hotel was perfect for our stay. It’s not the newest interior but still so charming and the view is absolutely stunning. We had a great view from our balcony where we spent new years eve to watch the fireworks over the city. The staff was very friendly and made us all comfortable. There is a New Year’s party in the hotel that costs 185€ per person, so we decided not to go even though I‘m sure the view would have been amazing. Die to the party the restaurant, bar and room service weren‘t available in the evening. But they told us right at the check-in so we could prepare and buy snacks and drinks for ourselves. We got glasses and everything from the bar and hat the coziest new year in our hotel room.
We had a great stay!

Mercure San Sebastian Monte Igueldo has the best views of the town of San Sebastián imaginable. The staff was attentive to our needs and provided impeccable service.

Beautiful view from the hotel. Hotel is a little dated and the electrical system is tricky. Our devices didn’t charge all night because we didn’t have the right switch on that controls all the outlets and lights. Also, you might want to bring your own hairdryer as you basically have to straddle the toilet to use it with its short cord and it keeps shutting off when it gets hot.

This hotel has a beautiful view,
My room was in a Box. The window had a view of walls. They could have some plants or trees.
I arrived from a all day tour around 4:00 and the kitchen was close until 8pm.
They did not offer nothing except a bag of potatoes chips and drinks.
For me it was not worth to stay here. Next time I will take up the funicular at the end of the beach and have a drink in the restaurant next to it.

Crazy view
3.0 / 5.0
The view was breathtaking and the decor in the foyer was lovely but you definitely require the patience of a saint if you want to order ANYTHING from the bar morning or night.
I stood at the bar for 20 minutes before walking away with nothing but irritation one evening. At the time, there were only a handful of other people standing at the bar and 3 staff behind the bar who couldn’t seem to get out of each other’s way.
The bar snack menu was extremely limited and when we ordered and it came out, the volume and presentation of the food was extremely underwhelming to say the least.
The hotel is very secluded so there either needs to be a more a comprehensive menu with more efficient and competent staff or just have vending machines in the foyer.
The room was comfortable and clean and the view from the balcony was lovely.

A 5 night stay at this wonderful hotel overlooking the bay of San Sebastion. The setting was perfect. We relaxed by the pool, either after breakfast or after an excursion down into town, or the old town. Wonderful popl, plenty of sunloungers and its own bar, and again fantastic views over San Sebastian. Our room had a balcony overlooking the bay and mountains, what's not to love. The staff were very friendly, plenty of areas to sit and have a drink and relax, and look at the view. The food was excellent and plenty of variety at breakfast. My only small moan as I like my food hot and not luke warm, is there wasn't a proper hot plate keeping the food hot.

I just loved the location and the views. I would have liked the restaurant to have more options daily.

Hotel is in an amazing hill top position and we stayed in a room with a balcony that looked out onto the bay and the town. Everything about the hotel was exceptional, except they seemed to be very short staffed when we were there and service wasn't great in the restaurant. I definitely would love to return though.
5.0 / 5.0
I loved the location but it was not immediately obvious on booking that the location was on top of a hill - need to pay more attention !!!
I liked the room layout but AC was not the best. Closing the bar at midnight was offputting and staff did not have but very rudimentary English. Important given the clientele was international

We paid for a balcony and they said they only have 4 and it was first come. So we didn’t get one. I think I deserve some sort of refund. Other than the the property was nice.
5.0 / 5.0
What a stunning hotel. Our room was beautiful with views of the bay. Staff were lovely and very helpful. The funicular made it easy to come and go up the mountain and the price was discounted for hotel guests. The adventure park was an added bonus. The only thing I would have liked was the pool to be open! But it was the best weekend!

Charming hotel and rooms with balcony and views of bay are stunning. Unless you enjoy (and are fit ) you will need to get taxi into town.
Better if the funicular opened at 9am rather than 11

Generally acceptable property. Wifi was a bit weak and there was an impression that staffing levels were insufficient.
There was a front counter staff that was kind, but that radiated the “lost sheep” vibe.

Lovely location with views of the City.
Only issue was the spotty wifi; but in the bigger picture… great hotel.

The hotel was elegant and had floor to ceiling windows to enjoy the magnificent views. The front reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The view from our bedroom balcony was amazing especially the sunrise over the mountains.
One draw back, it was quite far from the restaurants. We had an awesome time.
2.5 / 5.0
Really nice hotel with the most amazing views over San Sebastian bay, and the sunset draws visitors to hotel just for that.
Lots of free sunbeds on the rooftop terrace pool, which has an adequate bar area.
Reception staff really helpful, and offered tips on where to visit / eat that weren't necessarily on the tourist trail.
One thing to be aware of is the satnav in our car took us up the road to the right of Monte Igueldo (anticlockwise) but is very narrow, and eventually is a dead end. The only access is via the amusement park which has a security barrier so you must have proof with you that you're a hotel guest otherwise they may charge you to enter.
Fantastic stay.

Worst bed in a 4 star hotel. View to a dirty interior alley. Had to ask 2 times put shower gel because it was empty on arrival.
Only positive point was the view from the restaurant.
4.0 / 5.0
Beautiful views from room and breakfast area. Helpful staff.
3.0 / 5.0
Five star views within a three star hotel. No question the views from the rooms overlooking San Sebastián are fantastic. But the quality of the hotel does not match the view; very slow check-in (only one agent working), indifferent service at the bar (and a limited selection of brands), and poorly cleaned rooms (the area behind our toilet was simply disgusting.)
