About

Hotel Arrizul Beach

Hotel Arrizul Beach occupies a central spot in San Sebastian's Gros neighbourhood, directly across from Zurriola Beach and within easy walking distance of the Parte Vieja. The hotel is compact and personable, with a 24-hour reception, lift access, and rooms designed for comfort rather than luxury. Guests consistently mention the spotless condition of the property and the helpfulness of the staff, who have been known to assist with everything from flight changes to local recommendations.

The rooms are fitted with practical amenities such as air conditioning, heating, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and electric kettles. A notable feature is the soundproofing, which keeps street noise at bay even during festival season. While the hotel does not have its own parking, a public car park is located just across the road. The property is a short stroll from the beach, local cafes, and the lively pintxos bars of the Old Town.
