I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Arima & Spa. The hotel is beautifully designed, peaceful, and perfectly located. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Joel at reception gave us a warm greeting and a great overview of the hotel’s amenities, plus excellent tips for exploring San Sebastián. When a reservation I had made at a nearby Michelin-starred restaurant turned out to be missing, Joel went above and beyond to get us a new reservation for lunch the next day — a real lifesaver! Later that day, I accidentally dropped my credit card down the elevator shaft (yes, really!), and once again, Joel handled the situation calmly and professionally, assuring me it would be retrieved — and it was. Noelle at the front desk was also incredibly helpful, assisting with final details for our restaurant visit and ensuring everything went smoothly. Hotel Arima is not only beautiful and relaxing — the staff truly go the extra mile. I highly recommend it and would absolutely stay again.

I went here for my birthday on a couples trip with my girlfriend, and honestly… 10/10 would do it again. Getting there is super easy (even though it’s a bit out of the center, but hey, that’s the charm — it’s literally in the woods). As soon as we arrived they welcomed us with a glass of chacolí — not a bad way to start a getaway, right? The staff were great, super attentive, and made us feel at home right away. The room was spacious, spotless, cozy, and with views that make you want to stay in bed a little longer than usual (guilty). The pool? Quiet, relaxing, and just what you need to disconnect. Basically, if you’re looking for a little escape, this place has you covered. My girlfriend and I left with a smile, happy stomachs, and a really good “mouth flavour” (yes, it’s a thing now). Totally recommend it, and we’re already planning our return.

This place feels really cozy and complete. The rooms feel clean and up to date. The attached restaurant is very handy. It is convenient if you're there for the hospital or the nearby tech park. I think if you tried hard enough you could walk to the arena, too.

This hotel is truly exceptional. Every design detail is beautifully curated with a refined, minimalist aesthetic that creates a peaceful and elegant atmosphere. The restaurant offers excellent food with a wide variety of well-crafted dishes, and the breakfast buffet includes everything you could possibly want to start your day. I highly recommend staying here – it’s a perfect blend of comfort, style, and quality service.
