The property is huge and requires some kind of investment to upgrade it. But the areas are generous. It just requires a “modernization”.

We were desperate to find an accommodation in San Sebastián (everything was fully booked) and we found Balneario de Cestona. It was a great alternative 30 min far away from San Sebastián. =) We took the advantage of the SPA facilities to relax a bit.

It is very dated. So paint is covering cracks. Old bathtub etc

Beautiful location

The welcome was not very welcoming, and the check-out took a long time because one of the two receptionists didn't want to bother with dealing with me (he was very busy staring at something intensely), so I had to wait until his colleague became available. The walls are very thin, so pack ear plugs. The bed was not comfy.

The place has a nice location, the room was spaceous and the breakfast good.

The spa was a great experience, lovely waterjet massage. The old fashioned grandeur of the hotel is very filmic and cozy

1. First room allocated was in adjacent block some walk away from Main reception. I had my 5yr old son with me. Looked more like a basic hostel than a hotel room, very basic, no air conditioning & bathroom very uninviting. 2. Very small old fashioned lift, only room for a few people, more like a porters lift. 3. No air conditioning in any rooms. 4. Property in need of major expenditure to bring it all up to speed. Felt & looked in a time warp. Could be amazing. 5. No swimming pool for children. I was hoping to take my son swimming in the morning before leaving but it’s only a spa pool and children not allowed.

1. Last minute availability as it has plenty of rooms & we hadn’t booked anywhere ahead of our travel. 2. The response of the reception staff when I asked to move rooms. 3. The breakfast & amazing huge dining room/hall. 4. Free parking.

Bad conversation via Booking. I could not be able to get answers to my messages which was important for us. Please check your Booking messenger more carefully.

Very romantic/ historical place. There was an issue but the management gave us offers to sort out all. I was able to choose what is more suitable for me and this make my stay easier. Thank you very much for your attitude. Free parking space.

A good breakfast. But the best is the general atmosphere. With a lot of things and ghosts from the year 1893 !!! Maybe less comfort than a standard hotel but a real and good (his)story ! Strange and funny big house !

The property is in need of money being spent to bring it back to its former glory

The property is set next to a river in the hills. A beautiful spot. It looks like a very historic building. Welcome was good and half board was great

Overall, it’s a nice hotel but needs some updating.

It’s located in the beautiful Basque region in the mountains. Absolutely beautiful location. The hotel is also a sanatorium. The room was comfortable. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was good, continental style. Parking is secure. There is access to the pool, but you must make reservation due to COVID restrictions. The nearest town, Zestoa, is about a 15-minute walk or 2-3 min drive.
