Zinema7 Hotel on Postcard

"Chic Cinema Overnight Stay in San Sebastián The Astoria7 hotel is one of the few spots in town with character. With Hollywood stars as its leitmotif (in homage to the San Sebastián Film Festival), each room is dedicated to a different actor. Comfortable, modern and clean, and with a lovely lobby area and restaurant/bar, Astoria7 is a great option in San Sebastian. The only downside is its location, a good 20 minute walk from the beach and the old part."

"Star-Studded Cocktails in the Astoria7 The Hotel Astoria 7 is one of the city's most emblematic hotels, with perhaps the best sense of humor. In December of 2015, they inaugurated a new cocktail bar led by Patxi Troitiño, a local barman who also happens to be the winner of the best Gin & Tonic in Spain in 2015. At the charming bar in the corner of the hotel's ground floor, you can try traditional and daring cocktails. Make sure to order the award winning gin & tonic. In his free time, the maestro's latest project has been to design six cocktails for Netflix based around their original series. ¡Action!"

Where to Drink in San Sebastián

"Built on the foundations of San Sebastián’s iconic Astoria movie theater, this sleek and modern hotel is all about Hollywood. The lively lobby library—a retro-inspired lounge often filled with laptop-toting freelancers—has a wall of DVDs available to borrow and is plastered with black-and-white portraits of movie stars, while each room is themed to a different film-industry heavyweight who attended the San Sebastián International Film Festival since it started in 1953. Even the restaurants—popular gourmet spots frequented by discerning locals—are adorned with cinema-themed artwork and accents, and one of the meeting rooms can be transformed into a private theater upon request, complete with cinema-style seating. Outside the front door, the view, too, is cinematic. Astoria7 isn’t right in the tourist-heavy old town, but rather on a leafy boulevard in a part of town where locals actually live. It's a 15-minute stroll to the iconic La Concha Beach, whose golden crescent is the dream of every urban beach babe and touring photographer. So, put on those sunglasses and take in the views."

The Best Hotels in San Sebastián

I booked Hotel Zinema7 for three nights in San Sebastian after reading the excellent reviews people posted. Well, I am going to add to them! To begin, my husband and I found the location great. We walked to the Old Town our first day, but afterwards we took buses that picked us up across the street from the hotel and dropped us off in front of the hotel when we returned. It could not have been easier. The hotel's decor celebrating stars is quite interesting and fun. Alfred Hitchcock in the foyer just waits for someone to sit next to him for a photo op. The desk staff was helpful with everything from making dinner reservations to providing assistance when we had questions to carefully going over a map with us. Our room was immaculate, the bed was comfortable and had wonderful linens, and the daily servicing of the room was stellar. Kudos to these hard-working people! The downstairs lounge is nicely appointed, and it provided us work and reading space on a very rainy day. We had breakfast in the hotel's restaurant, and it definitely stands out as one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever had. This was our first visit to San Sebastian, and we could not have been more satisfied.

We travelled as 3 couples for a long weekend to San Sebastian and our stay at Zinema 7 was excellent. The rooms were a decent size and in good order. The location is great if you want to walk to Old Town. The staff were always very helpful and friendly. We didn't book breakfast at the hotel thinking there'd be places to eat breakfast but they were mostly patisseries. Breakfast at the hotel was very good. Would stay again for sure.

Good hotel in great location, within walking distance of old town or regular bus service from right outside. Well serviced, plenty of help when we needed to change the original booked date & with minor problems fixed immediately during our stay. Great breakfast - the eggs were some of the best I’ve ever had. Cafe attached not so good, overpriced for fairly grim food.

Stayed here with 2 kids. We had adjoining rooms which were really comfortable and a good size. About a 30 minute walk to the heart of the old town. Didn’t have breakfast as part of our stay, but the hotel has a separate public cafe which was great value for breakfast.

Efficient reception, comfortable rooms, interesting themed decor, good buffet breakfast. Location 20 mins from centre, walkable, but made even more convenient by excellent bus service from right outside the hotel to the middle of the old town: €1.85 flat rate. Only negative was cafe bar could use more space in evenings. Bar manager early in week refused use of restaurant tables to supplement space, but manager later in week had no such problem: 8/10 more tables = more income!||City is an excellent all round destination with food outstanding. Interesting Basque museum and take trips to local towns, which are picturesque and interesting.

Really enjoyed our 2 night stay here, very welcoming and friendly staff, unique decor highlighting celebrities. While a 25 minute walk to the Old Town, we enjoyed staying in a neighbourhood and walking along the river or streets to the more central areas. Comfortable rooms and lobby, excellent breakfast. The on-site restaurant is basic but offers some of the pintxos classics and a good tomato salad. Highly recommended!

Loved our stay here, about a 10 minute walk from the train station. Staff was helpful and flexible. Do not overlook the guestbook, the restaurant guide for pintxos was consistent with the research I'd done about the best spots for each local specialty! The DVD selection and in-room player was a unique addition that was worth taking advantage of.

We checked in for weekend and stay for an extra two nights. The hotel was clean and quite with nice common areas, but the best aspect of this hotel was the staff. Serena and Inigo at the front desk were in particularly friendly and helpful. We will stay again in the future.
