This is a No Frills, basic kind of place to stay. Even though there is an elevator, you will have to climb a few stairs because the elevator is situated between floors so you either have to go down a few steps or up a few steps. Not a problem for me but it might be for some. The place is very clean, and if you have an inside room it’s very quiet. Plenty of hot water, so the shower was very nice. The towels are very thin. Well located near the beach

Good location and staff is very friendly. However it is very warm in the room with the comforter at night. Would be great to have a sheet on the bed to help regulate temperature apart from the comforter.

This was a great base for exploring San Sebastian. It's just a couple of minutes from the old town, the beach and Downtown. The staff were helpful and the room was well-equipped and comfortable. The only slight downside was that clearly a child lives above and with the hard wood floors, I could hear them running up and down - not a big problem as they went to bed early!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This was a very basic, small room with a bathroom with shower. It is in a great location— easy walk to the beach, many restaurants, & shopping. It also had a balcony that was big enough to sit in. The staff was not very responsive on messaging. I sent a couple of messages that weren’t ever answered. It also says that they have someone in “reception” most of the day, but I never saw a reception area. When I arrived at the time I told them, no one was there to meet me and I didn’t see any reception desk/office. They came about 30 minutes later.

WORST EVER!!!

This was my absolute worst experience ever! The room was sunky, mouldy and very noisy between the rooms. The room was obviosly hot since it was summer, but we could not leave AC on because of the screamy noice. The smell in the room was musty, and we suspect mold... Also, worst of all - the next morning we woke up with bedbug bites. Lots of them. We told straight ahead that we wanted to shorten our stay and cancel two remaining nights, and we moved out. We did not receive any payment back för the two cancelled nights. When we checked out after one night (and all the bedbugs) there was no one in the reception, and we tried calling them to tell them exactly all the things we had experienced, but there was no one answering. And afterwards they now tell us they didn't know we were dissatisfied... No compensation, no excuse, no nothing... Do not book this pension!
