About

Hotel Parma

Hotel Parma sits on Paseo de Salamanca, a seafront promenade in San Sebastian. The beach is just across the road, and the old town is a short walk away. It's a straightforward, 2-star property with the essentials done well: clean rooms, free Wi-Fi, and a front desk team that guests consistently praise for local advice.

Rooms are simple but recently refurbished, with a choice of city, interior, or sea views. The hotel also has a private parking garage nearby, a business centre, and a snack bar. It's not a luxury stay, but it's a comfortable, well-located base for exploring the city.
