Stopover hotel
This was a stopover on our way back to the UK from Spain. We arrived quite late and so chose to grab a takeaway from the McDonalds opposite and eat in the room. We stayed as a couple with one small dog. The hotel is lovely and the receptionist was helpful. The room was small but adequate. The bed was comfy but the pillows were dreadful. The bathroom was well equipped but there was dust on the skirting and boxed in pipes which wasn’t nice. The toilet roll holder was also broken. All in all we would stay here again.

Lovely stay at Hotel Donibane
We had a very enjoyable stay in Hotel Donibane. Staff were friendly and professional. Rooms were small but clean and comfortable. Although for those staying in height of summer, there was no air con in the rooms. Facilities were very good and clean and we were really happy with the heated pool and small studio gym. It was a walkable distance to the town at 30mins each way. Would recommend!

Reasonable hotel for a short stay
We chose this hotel because the price was OK given how expensive nearby San Sebastian properties were. The hotel is a little old on the inside and rooms VERY small. Bed comfort was ok. The restaurant was nice and had good food. Overall, though, for the price it was a bit disappointing, particularly small room size.

We were exhausted & Thank you Hotels.com we were able to go online & book @ short notice, due to a problem on our journey from Southern Spain to Home in South West France. The welcome was exceptional, massive apologies as the restaurant was closed due to the time we arrived. Which was not a problem to us, as we just wanted to shower change & relax. The free bottles of water in the room were great, I went down to reception / bar & asked If I could buy some cold drinking water, nice gentleman said u have bottled water in your room, I said yes but its warm. 2 cold bottles given, no charge. Early start to return home, Great buffet breakfast from 7h, excellent, lovely staff, great room, great parking. Thank you Hotels.com & Hotel Donibane. We will be back

Very good convenient hotel.
Stayed overnight enroute to Spain.Ideal location for us as just off the motorway.We really like to pick properties with parking facilities and this hotel ticked all the boxes.Friendly staff, both reception and dining. Room clean and very comfortable and of a reasonable size.Despite the negative reviews regarding the food at this hotel we found our dining experience to be very good,with well prepared and presented food at a very reasonable price for France.We ate from the a la carte menu,starter and main plus drinks for around 70 euros,one could eat at a lower price when choosing the plate of the day menu.All in all for us a perfect stay.

Great overnight stop between France and Spain
I booked this hotel as an overnight stop between France and the Santander ferry. It was ideal - just a couple of minutes off the motorway, and 20-30 minutes to walk into St Jean, depending on whether you follow the busy road or take the scenic route along the coastal walkway. Excellent restaurant, and very nice grounds. Wifi worked well. Some people call the rooms 'basic', and they aren't over elaborate, but I certainly had everything I needed. I'd definitely stay here again if wanting an overnight stop on this coast.

We have stayed in this hotel on a number of occasions. Everytime we go back they have made improvements to the hotel. It is in a good location, very easy to find, staff are excellent, restaurant is very good. The rooms are a little small but the rest of the package more than compensates.We will go back to this hotel again and again.

great location
Had a great stay here, arrived late at night to a very friendly welcome. While the room was basic it was very clean and for once the heated towel rail in the bathroom worked, something that cannot be said for far more expensive hotels. A top location too, close to the motorway but far enough away not to be effected by traffic noise, definitely be staying here again!

Adequate for one night; not vacation spot.
My GPS couldn't find this hotel so I drove around for quite a while until I remembered that a reviewer mentioned that it was across the street from a McDonalds and a bakery. It is no where near the centre but is quite close to the highway. No elevator but the price was very reasonable for St Jean-de-Luz. Don't get excited about an Egg McMuffin for breakfast -- the McDonalds doesn't open till 10 a.m.! The room I had was quite small and even though I just stayed there last week, there is nothing memorable about the bedroom decor or shower.
