a nice hotel, located in the lively shopping area of San Sebastian. the nice boulevard along the characteristic bay, the beach, many restaurants, the marina and the old town are within walking distance. the rooms are very well insulated so we were not bothered by traffic noise and construction work.

the rooms are rather small. we first had an awkwardly arranged room in which we could hardly fit our suitcase. luckily the friendly receptionist gave us another room, which was hardly bigger but with a better and more practical layout. the public parking near the hotel is just terrible (even by spanish standards). no ventilation, no clear signing to, for example, the payment terminal and on top of all no elevator. unfortunately there is no other option when arriving by car.

The building is beautiful and our room, though not large, was more luxurious you would expect of a three-star hotel. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. We were happy to have air conditioning because it was unusually warm when we were there. The location is perfect. The hotel is within strolling distance of the old town and is in a pretty neighborhood with good food options if you want to avoid the crowds. The Buen Pastor parking garage is just steps from the hotel. We would happily stay at Villa Katalina again and would recommend it to others.

The breakfast was good but expensive and there was no fresh fruit. We had better breakfasts at less expensive hotels in northern Spain.

Beautiful decor, friendly day time receptionists. Comfortable bed and in room facilities. Nice strong working shower. Aesthetically pleasing and great location. Working lift. Loved the intimate small hotel.

Single room was small but as described in the description. The rooms were not as sound proof as I would have liked for a hotel room. I heard a lot of banging, moving around from the neighbouring rooms. Night receptionist seemed a little disgruntled and rude. Shame they can't be as friendly as day time gentlemen. But maybe I just caught her on a bad day.

This was the last stop on our 3 week trip around Northern Spain and it was the best hotel we stayed in. The room (we had a corner room, well worth the extra cost) was excellent. The air con worked a treat and there was no noise at all at night. We were with in walking distance of both beaches and the old town as well as the excellent range of restaurants and bars. There was also a supermarket nearby. The staff were friendly, approachable and professional. A fabulous stay!

Obviously out of the control of the hotel but the parking, which was close by, was very expensive.

Location of hotel is excellent-easily walk everywhere. The hotel is clean and spotless. Our room was cleaned daily too. Staff were helpful and gave great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Breakfast was tasty-especially the bacon and eggs.

Felt it was quite expensive. I noticed that the price of my hotel room was much cheaper when there than the price I paid by booking in advance which I was disappointed by. The double bed was two singles pushed together and no actual double bed was available to us which was a pity as we were staying a full week.

Hotel is walking distance from everything but at the same time not in the super tourist zone.good restaurants in the area, I liked the txotx gourmet a lot. Breakfast was good with fresh prepared coffee and eggs as per request. Over all it was a very good stay. The bus station is super close, as well as the bus airport

The details... I grew up in a noisy city, but my husband is a farm boy, for him it was difficult to sleep because of street noise and sometimes next room noise. I slept without an issue :)

Really great location next to the San Sabastian Cathedral. Staff were really helpful for check-in and check-out. The room was well furnished and very comfortable. the View was of the old post-office (heritage building). The restaurant downstairs is great to get a drink and have some olives. The restaurant staff were very friendly. 6-10 min walk from the train station, or a 10Euro taxi.

Nothing.

Centre location by cathedral and post office, just across bridge from bus station. 10 mins walk to bus station, beach and old town. Balcony just for standing. No lounge, bar or restaurant but plenty around.

Silly small and slippy bedside table, useless and annoying, surface not even flat. Don't risk glass tumbler or cup on it.

The location was very convenient: close to the train station, Old Town restaurants, and an easy 20 minute walk to the beach. The room was very clean and comfortable, with a great view.

No negatives! It was quite a bit more expensive than similar hotels I’ve stayed in elsewhere in Spain, but that was likely due to the time of year we visited (during the film festival, when all the hotels are more expensive). During other times, the hotel may be a better value.

The location is amazing: many places to eat and nice shops around. Also, walking distance from both bus and train stations. The hotel is small, cosy with a warm design. Staff were nice and smiling. The room and bathroom had great skylight windows.

The room looked a bit worn out (the tapestry needs some tlc). Also, the toilet’s bidet appliance did not properly work. Breakfast was cheap (€10/pax), but pretty basic. It can get a bit slow with getting coffee or freshly cooked eggs.
