How did this hotel get 4 stars ?
Honestly everything rests on the view which is absolutely beautiful. The reception is not worth 4 stars. The room is not very clean and pretty ugly, very simple, only 2 bottles of water and not even toothpaste. After 10pm, it is impossible to join reception, no one answers. We paid for a room with sea view and had to choose between separate beds and a sea view or a double bed and a parking view. It is very noisy, we could hear neighbors all night and in the morning.
Not a word when you leave the hotel, just a goodbye and a thank you nothing more.

The reception staff is really nice and professionnal, big rooms that are quite nice even though they're a little bit old. The view is incredible.
Just don't go to the hotel bar, it was a disaster.
Nice breakfast

We booked a privilege room, so the views were really impressive.  The bed was a bit tough, the room was nice and clean. The way to the hotel is very dark as there is no street lights at all. The staff is friendly. In general,  very nice experience.

Room has comfortable bed and great views and that's about it. WiFi is slow (2 bars on second floor), TV remote has Netflix button but no Netflix, room phone doesnt work, has dial tone but buttons dont do anything - have to call with private mobile to speak with reception. Staff don't speak English, not even a little bit to converse basic info (like booking a table), location is terrible - need to drive or taxi to city in the evening as the funicular stops at 7 pm. Car park is "guaranteed" but significantly limited and receptionists advise to not drive out of car park as likely won't be able to find a park upon returning. Honestly shocked that this is a 4 star hotel. The welcome was cold and poor - no door man or anyone to assist with luggage. Very disappointed and wished we knew better. Our experience has significantly affected our time in San Sebastian.

There is no effort made by staff. We told them in advance that we were there for our honeymoon, they didn’t care. We weren’t expecting our towels to be fashioned into love hearts or anything like that, but perhaps a mention would have been nice. Rooms- like a British travelodge with a partial view. And then my husbands wallet fell out of his pocket on the balcony- was handed in to reception. When we got it back, it had been emptied and cards gone over. The receptionist shrugged. In any respectable place the police would have been called- that (in any other country) is classed as theft!! Unbelievable. Especially when you’re paying over €250 per night, you expect a vaguely personal experience. Access- funicular cute but queues huge. Can hotel guests have a Q jump privilege?
Overall- massive disappointment. Will never recommend this hotel. Big shame, Mercure.
