Lovely trip, hotel was great but skip the breakfas
Fantastic location, hotel was great, we had a superior corner room which was a great size. I used the gym which was alright, had a running machine, cross trainer, spin bike and some cable and free weights.
We paid for hotel breakfast once then skipped it as it wasn’t great. It’s a self service buffet. Unfortunately the cooked items from the buffet were cold, machine coffee was sour. The freshly squeezed orange was the highlight. Main issue was we couldn’t take a banana to eat back in our room, it had to be eaten at the table…..next day we walk about 10 minutes to Old Town Coffee, amazing coffee and breakfast for the same price! Would recommend people do that.
Would stay again

Very good hotel but pricey
Perfect location for accessing old town and the beaches. Breakfast has freshly-squeezed juice and usual range of ham,cheese and eggs.

Good…and not so good
Positive: well positioned hotel, friendly staff, lots of space in the tall superior room. Nice decor. Comfortable large bed. We got a half bottle of red wine delivered as it was our wedding anniversary. Big clean towels. Coffee machine in room. Nice.
Negative: Details make a hotel. Why Spanish hotels can’t put bathrooms behind walls and doors I don’t know. Here’s another with a huge blue glass partition and a sliding door that allows you to hear everything your partner is doing in the toilet. It’s a style issue but someone think this through!
Anyway, the bathroom looked great but was actually poorly maintained. The shower tiles were thrown in. A sloppy job of tiling in general (the tile spacers were left in) plus the glass sliding door had been chipped off at the bottom and behind it was dirty. The shower was oddly very small for such a big bathroom. Lipstick marks on the coffee cups and all the Nespresso pods were decaf. DETAILS!
Also there’s nothing in your welcome pack or online details about the roof terrace.

We really enjoyed our stay at abba San Sebastián. The hotel is in an excellent location and is quickly walkable to the old town, the beach, and all the main areas of the city center. The room was large, very clean, and everything seemed to be very new. The staff were all very good and professional. The hotel has a large rooftop which is great for hanging before or after a night out. One side of the hotel is also tucked against a private and tree lined path which was nice for coming in and out more easily and in the shade. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend it to anyone. We will definitely be returning when we are back in San Sebastián.

Hotel Abba, Weekend in San Sebastián
Weekend visit to San Sebastián. Hotel Abba was in a great location. 5 minute walk from the bus station (useful if travelling to/from Bilbao), Also 5 minutes from Gros & the Old Town. Our room was lovely, modern & clean with a great roof top bar before heading out.. one negative, when the rooftop bar was open, the hotel bar was closed, understood this was to manage staffing levels but would be good to have the choice.
Would certainly go again, good hotel, great location!
