* Beachfront hotel in a 19th-century French building on Ondarreta Beach
Rooms
Each of the 23 rooms is named after a different painter and decorated with antique furniture and reproduction paintings. Rooms offer sea views or side-street views, with some on the 4th floor featuring Juliet balconies. All rooms include a flat-screen TV, minibar, and a private bathroom with marble finishes.
Location
The hotel sits directly across from Ondarreta Beach, a two-minute walk from the sand. The Monte Igeldo cable car is within walking distance, and the quieter Antiguo neighborhood offers local pintxos bars and bakeries. The city center and old town are reachable by a 20-minute walk along the beach promenade or by bus lines 5 and 25.
Amenities
The hotel provides a 24-hour front desk, bike rental, and tourist information about San Sebastián. Guests have access to a guest cafeteria with views of La Concha Bay. Parking is available on-site for a limited number of cars, and the hotel offers daily housekeeping, laundry, and ironing services.
Art & Character
The building is a preserved 19th-century French structure with a grand staircase and antique lobby decor. Rooms are individually themed: for example, the Bottero Room and the Freud Room feature original-style artwork and furnishings. The hotel functions as a temporary art gallery, displaying rotating works in common areas.
Practical Information
Check-in is available at any time via the 24-hour front desk. The hotel is non-smoking throughout, with heating and air conditioning in all rooms. Luggage storage is offered after checkout, and the staff can provide local recommendations and help with taxi arrangements.
Highlights
Rooms: Painter-themed rooms with antique furniture
Location: Beachfront on Ondarreta Beach, 2 min from sand
Art: Temporary galleries and rotating art in common areas
Transport: Bus lines 5 and 25 to city center
Parking: Limited on-site parking available
Service: 24-hour front desk and bike rental
“La Galeria's location steps from Ondaretta Beach offers a compelling reason to choose this hotel. I especially appreciate the free parking and the sea view rooms, and its proximity to pintxos bars adds local flavor. Overall, it's a solid choice for experiencing San Sebastian's coastal charm.”
