What guests think

Hotel Arima & Spa - Small Luxury Hotels draws consistent praise for its calm, modern design, friendly staff, and comfortable rooms, with many guests enjoying good breakfasts and on-site dining in a quiet, green setting outside central San Sebastián.

Reaching the old town typically requires a bus or taxi, with services frequent and journey times around 15–30 minutes. Facilities impress some—especially the well-equipped gym—but feedback on the spa is mixed due to extra fees, limited capacity or size, and a rooftop pool that is seasonal and sometimes cold. A few reviews report housekeeping or maintenance lapses, temperature or ventilation issues, soft mattresses or side-noise, and inconsistent service or follow-up. Overall, expect a peaceful, design-forward stay with convenient transit but some facility caveats.

Facilities

Well-equipped gym and an attractive rooftop pool, but the pool runs only mid-June to mid-September and water can be cold. Spa feedback is mixed due to extra fees, limited size/capacity, or occasional issues; on-site parking is available (often paid).

Comfortable and well-located. The spa left a lot to be desired... one of the three saunas was out of order, and the pool circuit was never hot enough nor cold enough. There was cold water for refreshments but only dirty cups, none clean.

Points positifs: Hotel design moderne, eco responsable. Petit déjeuner buffet excellent Personnels de la réception et des restaurants très à l’écoute. Chambres confortables (tout y est) et communicantes, ce qui est clairement un avantage pour les enfants trop grands pour notre chambre et peu à l’aise d’être déjà seuls dans la leur. Points négatifs: Dommage pour le parking payant mais la place dans la rue est suffisante- ce qui aurait été le seul accès à une borne électrique pour recharger la voiture Piscine très jolie mais glaciale. Salle de sport inaccessible aux moins de 18 ans, même en présence d’un adulte- ce qui n’était pas annoncé et a été une grosse déception pour les ados qui devaient suivre un programme spécifique sportif et auraient traité le matériel avec le plus grand respect

Thank you for a lovely stay at Arima. The parking was very easy and €10 beneath the hotel in the underground car park. Check-in staff friendly and the guest services gentleman was incredibly helpful even booking us an evening meal reservation in the town. Wonderful service. The bus into town runs every 10 min from outside the hotel. Room very clean and eco-friendly. Plenty of complementary toiletries to use for the stay. Roof top pool amazing although the water was far too cold to swim in it with a child unfortunately. Hospital just around the corner. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Points to note for future guests: 1. The roof top pool is only available 15/06 - 15/09. 2. The Spa is an additional €30 per person per visit. It is not included in the room rate. 3. Dining is limited to the restaurant at the hotel and they do not do room service. There are no local options so if it is booked you are stumped. 4. Travel into San Sebastián is via the 28 bus (every 10-15 mins) or via a taxi (€15 each way). Journey time via the bus with waiting is realistically 30-40mins. The hotel is clean and the food in the restaurant is good but this is not 4* and should not classify itself as a spa hotel.

Great hotel beautifully apportioned. Room: + very spacious and the bed was very confortable. - lack of hooks to hang wet towels etc. Swimming pool only open during the summer - closed from mid Sep. Part of the reason we booked (small honeymoon) here was to have a few days by the pool had we known it would have influenced our decision. Location: + peaceful and quiet. not far by bus into the town around 20min on busy day and 15min when less busy. bus stop right outside hotel can use contactless by card. very easy to navigate. - Taxi we found a little trickier to find in quieter parts of town say Antiguo and buses do not run that late. Spa +excellent. - to access the Spa indoor pool and sauna comes at a cost which is notable when the outdoor pool is closed. Food +excellent both breakfast at the restaurant

Clean, tidy and modern. But there was some sloppiness: 1. We asked for a refill of body lotion multiple times but this wasnt done- there was no body lotion when we moved into the room. 2. Whilst the lightning system and controls are modern and loom good, they dont work very well. I couldnt turn all the lights off but leave the reading lights on and the black out curtains let light in. 3. It seemed odd that the hotel had a spa and marketed itself as a spa hotel, but we had to pay to use it. We selected the hotel as we wanted a luxurious stay with spa ameanities, and were willing to sacrifice location for this. However, given we had to pay to use the spa, we may as well have stayed more central.

This is a modern hotel with a minimalistic approach greatly executed, elegant choices on furniture. As a tourist, you would be 15min from San Sebastián downtown, very reasonable if you have a car and public buses are a block away and they would place you in downtown in 20min. The hotel is in a very green area and rooms facing the patio side great a lush vegetation view. There is a big lobby area very attractive for getting work done, with a large communal table by the lobby and a smaller table (6 people) facing the patio. Many small tables and chairs in the area, perfect for getting work done or just relaxing. The gym is world class for a hotel in this area of the world, which is fantastic for those keeping in shape while traveling. And the outdoors certainly offer great exercising opportunities. Rooms are well maintained, although you can start to see some of the furniture chipping, mainly chairs and desks. Early attention to these details would be appreciated.

The room was not ready until the check in time of 15:00 so we went to the restaurant, which was amazing (though at €100 for two including one sangria I’d say the price was more New York than outside of San Sebastián…) unfortunately the spa was fully booked so we didn’t have a chance to try it. Overall a very nice experience.

Great medium sized establishment in the forest area just outside central San Seb. Taxi or bus required for getting into town. Really helpful staff and great service recieved in all areas. They were difficult to contact via Expedia but fine via email and face to face. We had a junior suite which was large and modern. If being very picky we had some very slight wear and tear in our room, and a rogue hair in our shower cubicle, that I hope maintenance keep on top of as the ambiance of the hotel and spa has a lovely spacious and calm vibe. Nothing detracted from the experience, but with such a modern establishment any blemish however small will be more apparent. Decent restaurant and relaxing spa. Gym was well stocked and clean. Hotel car park is underground, clean and secure from the street though can be accessed via the lobby. Very late at night you may have a wait for a taxi to return from town. We would definitely stay here again away from the busy city centre, especially if driving to San Sebastian.

I had high expectations for Hotel Arima given its affiliation with Small Luxury Hotels, but my experience was deeply disappointing. The air conditioning in our room was not functioning properly throughout our three-night stay. Despite reporting the issue multiple times, the room remained hot and stuffy, with a persistent temperature of 25°C. We were told the issue was fixed, yet nothing changed. A staff member even acknowledged that the room lacked proper ventilation and offered us another room — but only on the final night, after midnight. We were also promised that a manager would speak with us before checkout, yet no one was available. The service recovery was nonexistent — no follow-up, no compensation, and no accountability. We ended up sleeping in uncomfortable conditions for two nights, and had to relocate rooms late on the third. At this price point and under the SLH brand, I expected much better. Unfortunately, the hotel chose not to take responsibility or offer any resolution after my stay. I wouldn’t recommend this property based on our experience.

This is quiet, luxurious hotel. The staff was excellent and very helpful. The room was lovely, the bath a spa level experience. The restaurant on site offered a lovely meal of the day lunch/arly dinner menu. There is a fine dining restaurant that we did not have time to try, but plan ahead for reservations. The rooftop pool is sizable and pleasant with towels and a small bar available for drinks. We were in the middle of a 12 day trip and needed to do some laundry and had access to the condo building attached to do that. It was very much appreciated. The hotel sits on traffic circle on the bus line. Pleasant, clean buses with a practical schedule made it easy to get in and out of town without taxi's and Ubers. 10-12 min ride into town. We attended a concert at the Reale stadium and took the bus in but walked back. It was about 2 miles and slightly up hill but large group of the crowd was doing the same so it was enjoyable late in the evening when there was little other traffic. We could have waited for a bus but chose not to. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for quiet luxury away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy area in town.

I highly recommend staying here – it’s a perfect blend of comfort, style, and quality service.
