We had a wonderful stay at Pension BUENPAS. The accommodation is situated in a very central location, just a 5-minute walk from La Concha, allowing us to explore all the key attractions on foot. The room and amenities are basic but perfectly suited for short stays. Both the room and shared spaces were immaculate. Jon was incredibly helpful and kind, going above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent experience. We will definitely choose to stay here again on future visits to San Sebastian.

Great stay in the city centre

Great stay in a nice and quiet area of the city only minutes away from the bustling town. The rooms are squeaky clean with all the amenties one needs. The host was also incredibly helpful by providing us with local tips - we tried some of the best places as a result and tried the local favourite pintxos.

We booked this place last minute and Jon was excellent at getting all the info we needed for parking and checkin quickly. We received a very detailed message about where to park and how it works as well as instructions on how to get in our room. We didn’t have any issues with either. The place was very nice and clean. We met Jon in the morning to get the discounted parking ticket and he was so friendly and showed us the map of the town and his favourite places to eat. Excellent service all around.

Really great stay at Buenpas. Jon was an excellent host, with great communication and helpful recommendations. Check in was a breeze and room was exactly as expected. Location was top notch - minutes from the beach and the old town. Should I ever return to San Sebastian, I hope to stay here again.

We’ve found our perfect place to stay in San Sebas

This is our 8th visit to San Sebastián and we have finally found the ideal place to stay with an ideal location for all amenities. The owner Jon and his wife are amazing and really looked after us. Very Clean, really comfortable, Netflix tv, coffee station in lobby , what more can you ask for. I would definitely recommend here and we will both be returning 🍺

We loved the refreshments station, it was a great treat! We only wish the espresso machine was working. The place was also perfectly situated in a quiet neighbourhood but steps from the action. We would definitely stay again!

Worst ‘hotel’ have ever been in. Room not big enough to swing a cat, despite being very expensive. Also very stuffy and extremely loud. Hotel is located on very busy street that is impacted by buses, partygoers, and rubbish trucks at all hours of the night. Despite requesting twin beds we had to settle for a small double. Avoid rooms 1 and 2 at all cost (not only are they located above the busy street but you have to share a bathroom with strangers!) Note also San Sebastián is cold and very rainy, even in summer, so don’t go expecting sun and beach.

The place was in a great location, simple flight of stairs to walk up to get into the place. We were able to walk everywhere by foot from here. The rooms were clean and facilities were all new. You can hear the noise from the corridor but this was not a big issue and we slept through. There is coffee and tea facilities provided with some lollies / biscuits which were a big hit for us. We had a room with a balcony, A/C, private bathroom and twin beds (requested double) but we were notified on booking and chose to retain booking. These were pushed up against eachother so no issues for us either. The staff were very friendly and helpful and provided us a itinerary of what to do /see for our stay with a map which was very helpful. They also let us leave our luggage and gave us access to collect later as we had a late flight. Spoke English fairly well so communication was no issue. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to others.
