Customers generally appreciated the punctuality and comfort of the bus service, with many noting that the buses were clean and the ticketing process was smooth. However, some users experienced confusion due to unclear seat numbering and found the legroom to be limited, which affected taller passengers. Additionally, there were occasional delays without updates.

ALSA Santander San Sebastian recent customer reviews

It was a great trip, leaving on time and arriving on time. However, we didn’t know that we had numbered seats as the numbers were not on our tickets (we booked on line). This caused some confusion about where we were supposed to sit.

I was in time, first on, seated. Moved. My ticket, purchased months ago, had any seat. Everybody boarding with a recently purchased ticket had a seat allocation. I was moved 3 times before departure. Stopping points were stressful, I was ready to argue. NOT the best journey ever.
