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.

The Abba San Sebastian is a beautiful hotel on the Gros side of the Urumea River. Our room had a small balcony facing the river. It is perfectly located to easily walk to the Old Town area with its wonderful Pintxos (Tapas) Bars. We were also very close to the train and bus station which made taking a bus to Bilboa for the Guggenheim Museum quite easy. The hotel has a rooftop bar with great views. The hotel staff was extremely helpful and pleasant.

My husband and I had a marvelous time. The entire staff was extremely pleasant and went out of their way to make sure we feel welcome. The restaurant is a five stars…i wanted to taste the Chef’s lemon pie. It was not available that day. The chef had it ready for me the next day…. It was the best Lemon pie I have ever had…. Excellent job chef… Kudos to the team at ABBA and Thank you for making our stay memorable 🙏 Cheers, Frantz and Nancy

It is a solid 3 or 4 star hotel. The rooms are large and clean, and the staff are friendly. The only downside is that the breakfast is not good at all. You may want to spend the money somewhere else instead of paying for breakfast that does not offer much. Parking is 200 meters away. Be prepared to drag your luggage to the remote offside parking when you check out.
