Our room was very comfortable. Great bed, towels, linens and so forth. Staff very helpful. Just a short walk across the bridge and you are in the heart of Old Town San Sebastian. Gros was fun too. The worst part was parking the car. It is confusing when you first get there because your GPS wants to take you to the hotel, but you have to pass it and drive a ways and then make a U-turn back to the parking. Once you get into the parking lot, it is very easy to get to the hotel. Even though it is on a busy corner, the room was very dark and quiet. We had a perfect experience. Oh...the lobby is up one floor when you arrive and the old elevator DOES work so don't carry your luggage up the stairs :-)

I was disappointed that I had paid extra for a room with a city view, but there was scaffolding outside my window with plastic around it so i did not have a view at all. I would have expected a refund on the extra money paid!! Staff were very polite and knowledgeable though.

Pension Kursal features no frills nice rooms that are very clean and walkable to restaurants, bakeries, the bus station and the old town. We arrived when there was staff to buzz us in - not sure how you arrange for the door code and room code if you arrive after 5 pm local time.
An amazing antique elevator brings you to floor #1 to the reception and bedrooms.

Great location in Donostia/San Sebastian

The Pension Kursaal is, as the name indicates, right across the road from the Kursaal and it is an easy walk to the old and new parts of San Sebastián or into Gros, the local neighbourhood. Rooms are compact and comfortable. Coffee (in the daytime) and tea can be made in the reception lobby. The lady at Reception gave us some good tips on things to do and places to eat.

This property was amazing. Value for money, has the loveliest staff I’ve had on all my travels - with good suggestions and a willing to help. The location was perfect for us, and for places a little far, it was easy to grab public transport near by.

The most friendly, ultra helpful staff of our 5 week trip through Europe (sorry, I can’t remember how to spell her name but it was something like Leidie). Fabulous location, near a beach and just a quick stroll across the bridge into Old Town and the rest of the city.

Great location for the beach and the City, plenty of bars, restaurants and shops to choose from. Room was adequate, clean and compact. Natural day light would be be much nicer. Parking prices were more than the email sent by the Hotel, which was disappointing. But overall a good place to stay.

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

The location is excellent. Close to Old Town, but just enough away from the hustle and bustle. The staff work very hard to help you. A bit spartan, but perfect if you don’t spend much time in your room.

Families or Wheelchairs not the best, otherwise ok

There are some important things to know for families or people with access issues to know: immediately entering the property is a small set of ~8 stairs. There is a lift fitted but this was not working when we arrived and they wanted a €50 deposit for a key to use it while we were there. After this set of stairs, there is a spiral staircase up with a very small antique lift going up to Pension Kursaal and the other floors. This lift worked great, but would very likely be too narrow of an entrance for most wheelchairs, our stroller only just fit. And then, on the first floor, there is just a big step into the hotel reception with no ramp. As you can imagine, I ended up carrying and lifting a stroller in and out of this place quite a bit. Not super difficult but a hassle, and would be maybe impossible for a wheelchair. The room we had was good. However, the noise from outside was very loud, particularly on Saturday night. We were woken up by people shouting and laughing outside multiple times, as well as a garbage truck coming at both 1130pm and 0400am. The other nights were not nearly as bad. If you are staying out till 1am enjoying the pintxos and drinks, you'll probably be fine, but not great for trying to get an early night as a family. The staff were very nice and made great recommendations. They were the best part of the stay.

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%!
