Het verblijf was prima, ook het aanbod om na uitchecken nog in een lege kamer gebruik te maken van de douche met gebruik van handdoeken zonder extra kosten was heel aardig.
Locatie was wat uit de buurt, je moest wel een stuk lopen. Als je het wist, prima, maar bij aankomst was het even goed uitzoeken waar je moest zijn

Very friendly staff, the room rather big and was clean however it needs to be renovated. A lot of electricity sockets which was especially comfortable due to the reason that my partner and I needed to work. Thus all your devices can be charged simultaneously.
It has been said many times that the price isn't aligned with the quality, you pay like for a 4-stars hotel, but get no more than 3. It is not too far from the beach, but if you would like to visit the city center - this will take approximately 30 minutes to walk.

Está ubicado en la zona de Ondarreta, a 25 a pie de la parte vieja de San Sebastián, un paseo viendo la Playa de la Concha.

Las habitaciones son muy bonitas y muy cómodas.
El sitio está bastante alejado del centro y el parking hay que pagarlo entre semana (pero como en el resto de lugares de Donosti)

A bit far from the city centre, but still within walking distance (~20 mins). Very dorm -like accommodation, but has pretty much everything you need. Good breakfast buffet with a chef making eggs and bacon to your liking. During weekends the parking right in front of the hotel is free.
It's not centrally located and coming back from the old town at night time we found out it was impossible to get a taxi. But if you don't mind a bit of a walk then it's fine. Our room was one towel short and we had to ask for it from the reception. Not a major issue though. The hotel seems to be converted from a campus/dorm, so it's not particularly charming and for that type of hotel it's quite pricey. But all the hotels in San Sebastian seem to be super expensive, so keeping that in mind Olarain was reasonable.
