Hotel Villa Soro

My husband and I recently spent four lovely days in San Sebastián, a beautiful, clean and safe city. We stayed at this beautiful hotel. The building is very impressive as is the stunning entrance lobby and staircase. The public rooms are very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. The staff were all very friendly. On check in, we were allocated room 21, a deluxe room. The room appeared to have been freshly decorated and it was perfectly clean. The bed was top quality and super comfy. The bathroom was large and bright and had everything one would need. The towels were in abundance and were white and fluffy. The Dyptique toiletries were a lovely touch. However there a few comments which I would like to make, which will hopefully be helpful for potential guests and the hotel itself. Room 21 was quite small and a bit cramped. There is a long very narrow window, which made it impossible to fully draw the curtains back hence the lighting in the room was compromised. The small table and chair took up the only available space and were in the way of the fitted wardrobe. They appear to be completely unnecessary. There was a lack of power points. There could be a few more coat hangers provided. Only coffee provided in the bedrooms, although they kindly supplied us with a kettle and a few tea bags. The USB sockets at the bedside did not work ( we did mention this to a member of staff at the front desk.) A wonderful shower, however there was no bath. The wastepaper bin in the bathroom was far too small. I would suggest room 21 should be re-classified as standard room and not a Deluxe room. The hotel, as we were aware, was a twenty minute walk from the old town. The direct route into town is along a busy highway, although there is a much more pleasant, although slightly longer route, which takes you along the beach front. The hotel is definitely better suited to people who are 'touring' with their own transport rather than couples who want to visit San Sebastián for a few days.

Absolutely fantastic top to bottom. Phenomenal room, great staff, great hotel restaurant. Would absolutely recommend to anyone traveling to the area without hesitation. Maybe the greatest shower in any hotel room ever.

The hotel is very beautiful and elegant, and the staff are very attentive, friendly, and efficient. They gave us wonderful tips on places to eat, visit, and shop. A special thanks to Jon at the front desk.”

Excellent hotel - beautiful surroundings and great staff. Bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in, followed by a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended. It is about a 15 minute walk into the centre of town but really easy and convenient

We viewed online the Villa Soro and saw many positive reviews, and we weren’t disappointed. Staying for two nights and with our car we would highly recommend staying here if exploring San Sebastián. Yes, a little walk into the centre of town but not a deal breaker.(15 minutes) The hotel, a boutique type, clean, great decor, super friendly staff who are great at service and being there to help. Breakfast, very good, a little high price wise but the layout and feel to each morning dining does have a uniqueness. Evening, didn’t dine but had drinks from the bar, and again super staff and service. Stayed in one of the garden rooms, lovely, felt very warm and comfortable. The hotel, absolutely lovely, decor, layout and just a great place to stay. For the car owners, very secure, parked outside in the grounds, secure remote gate that opens when entering the hotel. There is a gym, and though not used looked really good, free weights etc. If we visited San Sebastián again, we would stay here again absolutely. Many thanks to the hotel team.
