Hotel Bidaïa, San Sebastián

Pros

• You'll be a little farther out of the historic core but near Mount Ulia, one of the city's three hills.
• The hotel is in a historic villa, and all the rooms have original or renovated decor and views of the mountain, garden, city, and/or sea.
• Enjoy your breakfast in the hotel's restaurant or on one of the two beautiful terraces.
• If you have a car, there's private parking at the hotel, and if not, there's an airport shuttle. 

Cons

• While the hotel is located in a central neighborhood, it may be a bit of a walk to some of San Sebastián's main attractions.

Authenticity

Hotel Bidaïa is housed in a unique villa designed in 1912 by architect Lucas Alday, preserving its historical charm and showcasing San Sebastián's vibrant past. Each room is distinctly crafted, integrating original materials such as wood and stone to reflect the hotel's rich history. The hotel also features a restaurant with two beautiful terraces, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local way of life during your stay.

Location

You'll be on the edge of the Gros district of the city, which is a little farther out of the central part of San Sebastián. The hotel's main entrance is on a leafy street, though the building backs to a train line, bus stop, and a slightly busy road. If you want, you can still walk to a few of the main sites. Zurriola Beach is a 20-minute walk, though getting to the Old Town takes a little longer. Konstituzio Plaza and San Sebastián Cathedral are both about 25 minutes by foot.  

Rooms & Bathrooms

Hotel Bidaïa offers spacious rooms with mountain, garden, city, or sea views; some even feature terraces or balconies. You'll enjoy modern units with historical aspects like wood-beamed ceilings, fireplaces, and big, original windows. All have wooden decor, and bathrooms come equipped with walk-in showers.

Other Highlights

The hotel offers a restaurant serving breakfast, with the option to dine on one of the two terraces. The terraces also provide a relaxing space to enjoy a drink and take in the surrounding views of Mount Ulia. Bidaïa Boutique Hotel also offers private parking, free WiFi, airport shuttle services, and accessible rooms.
