We liked that it felt comfortable not like a hotel with no atmosphere. They gave us some nice advice for things we can do for free. We didn’t know the museum is free every Tuesday. They recommended a restaurant because w couldn’t make up our mind and the food was good so good we went the next night. Great stay

Hotel is in a great location in San Sebastian. A 5 minute walk into the old city with all the attractions and bus transport. Also just down the street from hotel are many restaurants. Staff, particularly Leire, very helpful and extremely nice. Great place to stay in San Sebastian.

Ideal location with dining, beach, parking, all nearby. Easily walkable to most attractions in San Sabastian. Entry was under construction, and our room was off the entrance making it noisy as guests came and went. Although not sure there really is anything quiet to this city being so loved all hours by all people.

The room was very clean, had a small balcony, the bed was comfortable and staff was friendly. Although in a busy area, it was quiet at night and the blinds were very effective. The only downside was that the room was small but ok for a few days.

Perfect, just perfect!

Definitely lives up to the hype! Absolutely lovely room - spacious, warm, comfortable, good bathroom, even a fridge. Super comfy bed, proper king sized. Lovely staff too. Location was the best - across from the beach and parking garage, 3 minutes from the old town, bars all around. I cannot believe how good it was for the price. I don't hesitate to recommend 110%!

This property had a really easy check in process using a key code. We came late due to train delays and found the staff very friendly and easy to message with. The bed was very comfortable with good pillows and blankets. It was a short walk from the train station and in a great location for food and exploring.

All the amenities. The spacious and up to date rooms. Staff was nice and helpful (they answered all my questions with the nicest possible manners) The hotel is conveniently located to everything in San Sebastian. The feeling is like you are in a boutique hotel (although with much more competitive rates). It's the kind of place where you want to come back to saty here.

Great stay in San Sebastian

A very nice place to stay. A few minutes walk across the river from the old town and close to restaurants, bars and shops. The Kursaal entertainment centre was across the road and the beach a few minutes away. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There is an old-fashioned lift. Parking would be difficult and there is no allocated set down area on-street for the Pension. A great place. Room very comfortable.

EXCELLENT LOCATION with access to everything!!! We had never stayed at a Pension, didn’t even really know what it was. We were pleasantly SURPRISED!! Customer service was superior, smaller hotel so it felt more intimate and safe. The room and bathroom were very clean with AC, towel dryer, wifi, all the basic amenities you get at other hotels, YET, reasonably priced and in an amazing location. You won’t be disappinted.

The room was more than sufficient for what we like, which is a great bed, a good shower, and the option for coffee in the morning. We like basic rooms and this was fantastic modern contemporary. The building itself is very quaint & up to date Check-in was superb and easy. The location is phenomenal with wonderful dining options for all budgets just outside your door. the beach and promenade was a two minute walk. The bus terminal was no more than 10 minutes walking via beautiful gardens and along the Riverside. I will not hesitate to come here again. The staff at reception with phenomenally, friendly and helpful.

The front desk receptionist was amazing!!! The best one we’ve had on our 3 week trip. It was difficult to find the parking garage and hotel location, but we eventually found both. Do not expect to find street parking. The parking garage is right on the water by the beach and hotel is across the street - very short walk. Large barhroom, air conditioning and walkable to dining options. But, about 20 minute walk to old town, etc.
