About

Sercotel Codina

Sercotel Codina sits on Avenida Zumalacarregui, roughly a 25‑minute walk from Alderdi Eder and a short stroll from the waterfront. The hotel is close to the funicular that climbs Mount Igueldo, and the old town is a pleasant walk along La Concha.

Rooms are simple but well kept, with soundproofing, air conditioning, and flat‑screen TVs. Some doubles have sea views, and the top‑floor terrace looks out over the bay and mountains. Facilities include a café‑bar, a TV lounge, 24‑hour reception, laundry, and luggage storage.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Beach and Igueldo right on the doorstep — Roughly a 5‑minute walk to the waterfront and a short step to the funicular up Mount Igueldo. The old town is a reachable stroll along La Concha.
  • Genuinely helpful staff — Multiple guests call out the reception team as welcoming, accommodating, and charming.
  • Clean, quiet rooms — Guests describe rooms as clean, modern, and silent, with good mattresses and effective soundproofing.
  • Rooftop terrace with bay views — The top‑floor terrace takes in the bay and mountains – a real highlight for guests.
  • Paid private parking available — A private garage costs €23 per day – reassuring given San Sebastián's tight street parking.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dining earns the lowest rating — The food and beverage side scores 6/10, and one guest found the room price a little high, though reasonable for the area.
  • Rooms can feel compact — Some guests note the rooms are small, especially the Small Double.
  • Walk to the old town — It's about a 25–30 minute walk to the old town. Enjoyable along the bay, but not central.
  • Street parking is tricky — Nearby metered parking is paid except on weekends in the blue‑green zone, and the area gets crowded on sunny days.
