Reviews for Hotel Olatu
Review 1：All hotel is just creaking. Awful noise will not let you sleep. The idea of the hotel and modern looks will not compensate the fact that it is not possible to sleep in it. Each move of other guest in different room and you will hear it. He/her goes to toilet and you are awake for another hour. No place to park your car.
Review 2：Nice idea and looks.
Review 3：No information about breakfast, would have liked to know what one is paying for. So went for a cheap breakfast deal on seafront instead and watched the surfers, ideal really.
Review 4：Bathroom was the best on our entire trip. Bedroom okay but they ignored request for a balcony. Location great, short walk to train and very near lovely seafront a with a great bar on the corner. Reception very nice.
Review 5：There was some problem with the cleaning staff, so we were obliged to wait an extra hour before we could check in. There are no facilities in the hotel itself ( yet) so, breakfast and other meals had to be gone out for. The Parking situation was inconvenient. You could use the public garage and the hotel had a number of spots you could rent for €14 for 24 hours. The garage comes to €20 otherwise. The spots get sold out pretty quickly. Alternatively, you can buy a Blue Zone pass for €4 and drive around town looking for the most convenient spot in a Blue zone. A bit of a hike!
Review 6：location was close to beach, entertainment. The hotel was off the main road, so it was quiet. I had asked for a quiet room and got it! The room was spacious, clean, bright and the bathroom modern and clean. There was also a lift in the building. Though there was no restaurant in the hotel itself, the restaurant they had a deal with was close enough and the good, cheap meal was served up by by friendly staff . The staff in the hotel was very friendly and helpful and could handle even the most complicated instructions in English.

Review 37：Hotel Olatu is the small, modest , clean hotel situated very close to the nice, long beach. Very nice, helpful staff, rooms modern, nice, very clean. Location very convenient-close to the sea in the old part of Zarautz, a lot of bars, restaurants, shops around. Very close to the bus stop, you can visit San Sebastian without using the car.
Review 38：Disappointed that staff were not present at the front desk at all times. No staff to ask for extra pillow.
Review 39：Lovely fresh, modern, minimal design. Great balcony. Helpful staff that made efforts to give us tips and support. Great location and great value for money.
Review 40：Little bit noisy from the streets by partying by strollers. Noise spreads easily from the closeness of the neighboring houses
Review 41：Very service minded, even let me come back to my room after running the classic Behobeia-San Sebastian race to take a shower, even though a should have checked out in the morning.
Review 42：Honesty about room availability (always just 1 room left!) Continentalbreakfast :-(
Review 43：Great value for money, should be at least a 3 star! English speakingstaff, boutique style design, excellent location!
Review 44：Superb location in a pleasant little town. Newly refurbished throughout with a contemporary style. Compact, but sufficient for a short stay. Parking is relatively close and free at one of the bigger carparks. Locally its ticketed but cheap. There's no vehicle access directly to the hotel so you'll have to carry your bags 300m or so. We didn't try the breakfast, there's a fabulous bar in the square around the corner that does the works for a few euro
