TRYP San Sebastian Orly Hotel

This was the first of about half a dozen hotels that we stayed in over the course of a fortnight in northern Spain and was by far the worst in terms of value for money. However, it was clean and had great views from the top floor, and was well located moments from the beach and about 5 minutes from the old town.

The reception desk was seriously under-manned and there were queues to check in and out, and to enquire about anything. Despite attempts to cheer the place up it was at heart a dreary 1970's tower block. More like a cheap motel than a 4 star hotel. Our room had a balcony but no chairs to sit out on. For £300 a night we'd expected so much more.
