The hairdryers could do with updating, took a really long time to dry my hair. This is only a very minor point.

Close to the beautiful beach, shops and bars

Stayed in June 2024

Just a little too far from the centre of town.

Clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Free umbrellas for use in the rain. The receptionist called taxis for me when I needed one, and gave directions. The beach opposite and the whole area is clean, safe and beautiful.

Nothing really

Location easy access and helpful staff lovely room

Stayed in May 2024

Room was comfortable but a bit dated. Also with wooden floors, lots of footsteps if the upstairs guests (Germans) are too uncivil to take off their shoes, and although the guest in question was too portly to get up the stairs without loosing her breath; she had plenty of it to draw attention to her bedroom activities later in the day. Bring earplugs and you will have a lovely stay.

Great location on the beach. Quiet area. Classic old hotel. Staff nice. Spoke English also. Bed was comfortable.

Lobby looked like a haunted house and made a terrible first impression.

Location was perfect for all activities yet far enough away from the very touristy zones. The room was quiet and clean with everything we needed. Staff was friendly and helpful. The lobby decoration is terrible! Lobby is dark and looked like a haunted house when we arrived. The "antique" baby carriage and "antique" lady's pajama on a mannequin make no sense and look like a funeral. Not a good first impression at all. Luckily the hotel was good in all other aspects.

I was not told about the breakfast buffet until the second day when I saw “cafeteria” level in the elevator. So had already missed it.

We had a sea view room and it was stunning to wake up with a view of the sunrise. The hotel is located in a very nice area with an easy access to downtown in 10 minutes by bus. The beds were very comfortable and overall nice facilities in the room - tea/coffee, bathroom amenities. The hotel itself is beautiful, it puts you in 19th-early 20th century.

Shower temperature was very temperamental and the pipes were quite noisy, could hear all our neighbours for example. I think it’s just the consequence of an old building. The staff were not the most friendly, but still fine.

We were upgraded to a room with a sea view which was absolutely stunning, definitely worth it. The beds were extremely comfortable. Location was one of my favourite areas of San Sebastián, you can get the bus 20 minutes or walk 30-40 minutes along the beautiful beach to the centre. It’s very quiet and felt safe.

Noisy lift and water pipe work - especially at night when used by other guests.

Superb location just metres from the beach. Easy access to town. Room with a view. On-site parking.

The property is like stepping into a different era.. it has a French chateau feel about it. It was very central to third beach and the neighbourhood was very local either good bars and bakeries. The man at the front desk was very helpful. It’s not the most modern of hotels, but that is part of its charm & it was comfortable. I really enjoyed my stay.

Staff not overly friendly but we are quite independent.

Location suited us. Near beach, quieter end. Facilities close by. Away from main area but we liked walking to/ from.

Comfortable hotel with art-themed rooms in a good beachfront location in an interesting part of town.

Bed was uncomfortable, we did raise this with staff the morning after our first nights stay, unfortunately the person we spoke with was unable to offer us a solution as all the mattresses were the same in each room. No central seating area.

The location was excellent with access to all local attractions and facilities. The staff we spoke with were very personable, giving us lots of advise on places to visit, ensuring we even had the information relating to local buses and bus stops. With the exception of the mattress this is an exceptional hotel.

Noisy place, you need earplugs to sleep well

Good location, easy to park and direct bus to downtown Nice restaurants in the area

Stayed in January 2024

Very good stay overall, only two small things that could have been better: - the toilet in my room was squeezed into a corner, and I could not sit properly on it, I had to sit sideways because there was no leg room to sit straight - also, I brought a plastic bag to put my dirty clothes in, and a 1.5l water bottle to refill. These were both thrown away, as the cleaner assumed they were rubbish. Maybe the hotel can add a policy e.g ‘please put any rubbish in this area’, so that they don’t throw away things by mistake

Friendly staff, 24h reception, excellent location, less than 2 minute walk from the beach

Hardly anything, but an English speaking news channel ( at least ) would be welcome. Staff are always friendly and helpful, and the room has extras often missing in other hotels within this grade.

This is our third stay, and love La Galeria, but did not take advantage of the breakfast on offer. It will always be our first choice when visiting San Sebastian.
