At Axel Hotel San Sebastián - Adults Only, guests highlight modern, very clean spaces and a quiet, walkable location, while noting open-plan room designs that reduce bathroom privacy and a compact rooftop pool more suited to relaxing than swimming.

The spa and gym earn frequent praise, though some report appointment restrictions and lukewarm water or jets. Breakfast is commonly rated very good, with a few guests finding it basic. Service is widely described as friendly and helpful, though check-in can be slow and responses inconsistent at times.

The facilities are very nice and most staff are extremely helpful. Rooms are well kept. I enjoyed my stay. The rooftop is very nice but the pool is not for swimming and is unheated. If you are looking for a pool to get your laps in then you will be unhappy. But if you just need to chill and soak, it is perfect and often there is a self-srrve sparkling wine bottle on deck. The gym and sauna facilities are noce. You have long (15-20) min walks to old town or Gros but minutes from a nice river walk and the bridges. Parking is limited so call try to book early and call the night before. If parking is full, there is a parking lot around the corner that you can book with the Telpark app and the staff can help you with that. The parking lot is a two minute walk but a 10 to 15 min drive in traffic.

Ottimo hotel in posizione strategica, 10 min a piedi dalla playa e allo stesso tempo lontano dal chiasso cittadino. Colazione favolosa e internazionale. Lo staff é stato sempre super gentile , lo abbiamo molto apprezzato. Anche palestra e spa sono ottime, unica pecca secondo me é che manca la possibilità di ordinare un drink quando sei a bordo piscina ma parliamo davvero di piccolezze. Tornassi a San Sebastián , lo sceglierei senza dubbio .

Nice hotel. 10-15 min walk to old town so nothing too taxing. Facilities good (room, spa), and pool was nice, nothing special. Only grip was parking. If you were to park in the hotel car park, it's €25 per day. However, if you are smart, you can park 5-10 min walk away for €3.60 a day (free Sunday).

Open plan room is bad idea. No privacy in bathroom. Massive gaps might as well not have the glass door at all. Room service came at 17:00 and we left room at 10:00 , this is unacceptable. Spa and indoor pool available only by appointment unheard of. Location ok. Very bad english communication with staff.

Checkin was a little slow, too many arrivals and not enough staff. Gym is great, but towels are missing as is cleaning spray. Room was very good - big and well appointed. Roof top pool and loungers could have been better - messy and a bit chaotic. Overall a very good place, and within 20minutes walk of all major interest spots.

Staff was friendly and the decor and facilities looked to be in good shape. Unfortunately, our room had a foul smell coming from the shower (which also was prone to flooding). We had arrived too late in the evening and left the following morning, so only told the staff about it when checking out, so don't know if/how this has been resolved.

The hotel's premises were clean and modern, and we had a spacious and comfortable room. We loved the spa access included during our stay, which was an amazing added value to our holidays. We would definitley repeat!

We had a lovely time at this hotel, overall standards were excellent and the staff were lovely and v helpful. Breakfast buffet was also fantastic. Only downside was the first room we stayed in had really smelly drains so bad we had to move room. We moved to an even nicer room and the staff were helpful but it would have been better not to have happened at all.

Didn’t really like our room. Balcony was terrible, looked out onto 2 garages with graffiti all over them. A noisy sports place and straight across the road, was a place for old age pensioners to go and do activities. But the people would come out, look up to our balcony and give dirty looks. Not friendly at all. Would never go back

When Europeans say "Adult Only" they actually mean couples, not friends sharing rooms. While the hotel is very nice, the rooms have glass exposed showers and bathrooms, so if you need a bit more privacy, this is not the place. And the loghts from the bathroom and shower area light up the rest of the room so be warned if you don't want to wake up your roommate in the middle of the night. Otherwise, great if you want a romantic weekend with your spouse or significant other...

The standard room we stayed in is incredibly small and oddly shaped. We had to move most of the furniture around in order to be able to fit our open suitcases. The room does not have many storage options like cabinets, shelves or hooks which made it hard to operate within. We were there for 3 nights so made it work however any longer and it would have been a real bother. Besides the room however, the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and provided some great tapas and restaurant recommendations. The breakfast spread was really amazing as well! Rooftop pool area was also great, however could do with some additional umbrellas for shade. Location wise, it was a 15 min walk to the old town which was a pleasant walk by the main promenade.

The room and the bed were ok. However, the shower changed temperature by itself, its door did not close, making the floor a bit wet and the toilet did not work properly. On top of that the staff was not very friendly, leaning to rude. We only stayed one night, and wouldn't stay again. Its a good option if you need something close to the train station other than that, nothing special.
