Hotel Akelarre

I stayed last week with my wife at this splendid hotel. We have stayed several times at the Maria Cristina and decided to try something different this time. The Akelare Hotel is locates in a hill overlooking the ocean but just a 10 min ride from the city center. All rooms have an uninterrupted view of the ocean that changes in tones depending on the weather. You can even have a salt bath with that same view from your bathroom.The beautiful spa is another option.From the balcony of your room the only sound you hear is that of birds. The hotel architecture is reminiscent of a modern simple modern museum. Only tones of stone and ocre as decoration. The terraces are just unique: one is a cocktail bar, another a relaxing area, others serve as casual restaurant. All of the round terraces with share the amazing view of the ocean. The breakfast is prepared with produce from the area, not to mention eggs in any which way you want. Finally, I must say that the concierge service offered by Mr Abbou and Mr Vikeras was flawless. They organized our transfer from the Bilbao airport, tours of the area when we were taken to Azurmendi and they even packed bottles of wines for us for luggage transport. Never a no from their part and perfect suggestions as to tours and other nearby restaurants to visit. As to the Akelare restaurant, well they have three stars and this was our third visit. If you want to unwind, relax and eat well, this is the place to be in San Sebastián.

Stayed here the night before walking to Santiago to have an early arrival time and it was perfect!

Disappointing experience! Initially I rated this 3/5 but after visiting more hotels in our trip I realised it should be a 2/5! The location and the room were amazing but the staff/service and food were poor. The concierge service was totally incompetent. The restaurant staff were both rude and ineffective. The food in the hotel restaurant (not the Michelin star one) was average at best and vastly over priced meaning we chose to cancel our dinner at the Akelarre and thank god we did after ready many poor reviews. Nice location but not worth it! The town of San Sebastián is lovely so stay there!

Es el lugar perfecto para descansar y seguir visitando la zona. Al estar tan bien situado vayas donde vayas queda bien de distancia así que es un punto muy a favor. El trato con el personal a sido genial. Las habitaciones son súper tranquilas y todo es súper genial. Si vuelvo a Galicia, vuelvo a Hotel Akelarre 100%

Jammer dat de bar niet meer open is, wel lekker en goedkoop eten in bar labrador aan de overkant.

Todos fueron muy amables, nos ayudaron con las direcciones del lugar. Hotel está cerca de todo!! Súper recomendado Muchas gracias

Habitación amplia y cama cómoda (aunque era de 135cm; que para mí sola ha sido perfecto, aunque para 2 quizás sería pequeña). Baño espacioso y bien cuidado. Perfecta ubicación entre Santiago y el aeropuerto. Personal muy amable!! Repetiré sin duda

No puedo opinar de nada porque cuando llegué me digeron que no me encontraban en las reservas y me derivaron a otro hotel después de 2 horas arreglandolo. No os fieis de la reserva, llamar para confirmarla
