Fodor's "On the main beachfront promenade overlooking La Concha, this stately hotel has an old-world feel and aesthetic that starts in the bright, formal lobby and continues throughout the hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This classical-style luxury hotel with grand public spaces within occupies a 19th-century palace on La Concha beach."

Avoid rooms on lower floors, as street noise can disturb light sleepers, but the tradeoff for sea views seems to have a monetary and comfort-level price for some.
Rough Guide "The very welcoming grande dame of San Sebastián hotels, this impressive white nineteenth-century edifice commands a superb position overlooking the beach."
Michelin Guide "Menu: 23€- 38€ - Carte: 36€-47€"

Concierge "The city's hottest boutique hotel, this 25-room property occupies a renovated 19th-century villa that's been designated a historic landmark."
Frommer's "On the edge of the historic core, Villa Soro, a fin de siècle mansion, has been turned into a small hotel imbued with atmosphere, comfort, and charm." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"In contrast to the more formal lounge, winter garden, and bar, the 25 rooms are low-key beauties, done in muted colors, with modern pieces by local artists." Full review
Travel + Leisure "In a city where even the most luxurious accommodations tend toward the dowdy, Villa Soro offers a much-needed dose of modern luxury." Full review
Star Service " Guests here are secreted away from the action in a residential neighborhood best known for its tony mansions and leafy summer homes." Full review
Fodor's "The open lobby of this sophisticated hotel has vaulted ceilings and curved Victorian stairs that lead to a sunny, stained-glassed sitting area and the unique guest rooms." Full review

For an old-world feel, request a room in the main building, or if you prefer a quieter, more contemporary feel, ask for one in the carriage house overlooking the garden.
