Stayed for 3 nights. Good location in centre of old town. Rooms Clean but small and a bit noisy due to indequate sound proofing and our one had a small window therefore not much natural light. Staff friendly and helpful. Continential Breakfast served in the restuarant owned by same business around the block. A nice touch was that we were... More

First beware if you are staying here, that it is not really what most people would call a hotel. It is a room in a building where there is no room service and no-one at reception after 10pm. They did provide a continental breakfast and the room was smart and clean but there was little in the way of facilities... More

Great location right in the middle of the old town. Rooms are clean and modern. The standard rooms are pretty small and the bathrooms in the standard and superior rooms have clean modern powerful shower but the actual shower cubicle is small. The suite, which our friends had, was very roomy. We weren't bothered by excessive noise that some other... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and it was clean and nice. The only downside was the noise. The walls were paper thin. But great location.close to shopping, restraints and beach.the couple in the room behind us kept us up with an argument, but we got our own back when we left at 6 in the morning and woke them!

The location was perfect but the walls are ridiculously paper thin. The pension is like an apartment - with around 6-8 rooms in total. One woman spoke english but the gentleman who greeted us when we arrived did not speak English at all. Our room was nice and appeared clean but the bathroom did have a strange smell to it.... More

This is a very small family run hotel in the old city San Sebastian. it is in an excellent location. They give you free water which is great. You have to walk around the corner for a continental breakfast which is very simple but ok. The rooms are very small but to be expected given the central location. The rooms... More

Previous reviews have not been great and I'm not sure why. We booked a superior room (#7) from Booking.com and it was one of the best and quietest stays we've had in the Parte Vieja. The air con works wonderfully and continues to run, even when the room power is turned off. I've stayed in many 4 star hotels that... More

I stayed here for a few nights in mid June. As everyone has said, it was clean, very centrally located and the staff was helpful. The location is terrific as it is a few blocks from everything of interest: the pintxos bars, two really nice beaches, etc. Please understand that this is not a full service establishment. The interior walls... More

This hotel seemed absolutely perfect: great location, friendly staff, free WiFi that actually worked and huge rooms with comfy beds. But unfortunately, you could hear a pin drop at the other end of the hotel as sound seems to travel through the floorboards. The people in the other rooms were walking around all night and in the very early hours... More

As a couple stayed here for multiple nights in June 2012. Found the staff/reception very friendly and helpful, and the location (in the middle of old town) very convenient. However the walls were very thin and therefore every door closing, water pipe etc could be heard, aswell as the construction being undertaken in the stairwell. Shower was tiny and the... More
