Purkinje (mapaygps)
A good choice
This hotel is located on top of Mount Igueldo, as its name suggests. It's an institution, and like everything else in this beautiful city, it is an old landmark that has adapted to the times. Today it might be one of the best places to stay in San Sebastian - not for nothing, it is the hotel of choice for Real Madrid when they play here. You can see the hotel from all over the city, and if you're lucky enough to have a room with a view, you'll have amazing sights to behold both day and night. The room we had had a terrace overlooking the bay. Large, clean, and heated, it was comfortable and eco-friendly (they offer the option of hanging your towel, to keep it for the next day).
The TV was modern, although we didn't use it much, and the minibar was computerized, so if you took something from it, it would be charged directly (we didn't try). The only complaint we could make is that the wifi is charged separately (5 euros for 24 hours), which was a bit annoying. Despite this, the hotel is a good choice, with great service. Some of the waitresses have been working here for decades, and they are welcoming and friendly. The dining rooms are incomparable, overlooking the bay of La Concha. In a storm you can watch waves crashing onto the port, and with good weather you can enjoy the calm sight of the bay. What a great breakfast, too! A delicious buffet, all recently prepared. Okay, so it's not suitable for all budgets, but if you get the chance to stay here, take it!
