My wife and I had a room on level 1 (the level above reception) and it was fantastic. Very quiet, great space and didn't have any issues. The location was fantastic with the main attractions all in an easy walking distance. For the price, the value of Altair was fantastic.

We booked this lovely pension,,the 19th and the 20th of january through a spanish friend based in Ireland. And we cant thank him enough as we had the best trip thanks to the hospitality and attention of Richard and his staff, including the reservation of an excellent restaurant for the big day of the city. Very central and great rooms.... More

Had to be an inside job - you need an electronic card to get into the building, into the pension and into the room. Our room was on the 1st floor and was placed in the safe they provided in the room which had our personal code. Initially the response was "this has never happened before" to "we will contact...

This place was clean, comfortable beds and just a 5 minute walk to the surf beach. Keep in mind that the reception closes at 1.30pm to 5pm. We were arriving just after 1.30pm and emailed in advance to inform them and someone stayed around to check us in. Although this place is not across the river where most of the... More

good location: 10-minute walk from the city center with many restaurants and coffee places nearby. the room was on floor just above the reception, decent size and clearly recently renovated and very clean. furniture is mainly ikea-style but certainly very functional. the bathroom was well-sized and clean too. free wifi (worked perfectly) and nice people running the business.

The Altrair pension is well located, in the heart of the true local San Sebastian, close to the place of the church, next to a local bar (careful here you will not find tourist as in the old quarter and the tapas bars place) but there is nevertheless a good location because 10 minutes walk from the old quarter.

Stayed for one night in July 12. Location is good, in the heart of Gros neighborhood. Beach is three blocks away and Old Town is reachable by foot in about 15 minutes. Reception was made by the owner, who was very friendly and helpful (also gave us great suggestions of places to eat!). We got room number 2. The room... More

One of the best accommodations we've ever stayed at! On arrival, we were upgraded to the beautiful, spacious and modern apartment a few floors above the reception area. We absolutely loved it - it was well-equipped, clean and beautifully decorated. It was one of those places that made us not even want to return home! Needless to say, we were... More

The affordable hotel was a surprise - for a "2 star" hotel it is very modern, very clean, and reasonably well located. Other than no mini bar, we can't see any reason why it is not rated much higher. The accommodation takes the form of an apartment style building - you buzz in, take a flight of stairs (there is... More

Pension Altair is located in the "Gros" quarter of San Sebastian, which makes it a little bit off centre. The old city is a 15 minutes walk. Our room was located close to the reception, and we had some noise (due to thin walls I guess). Besides that, Altair offers very good value: modern, clean and really friendly and helpful... More
